NEW YORK NEW YORK – I experimented today with focus stacking, a technique that involves taking multiple images with various focus points and combining them with specialized software. It’s most often used in macro photography to overcome the inherent thin depth of focus at close distances. From time to time I use it in landscape (urban and otherwise), pushing the tool for other than its intended use. Today it successfully produced a street art background and a Sycamore foreground, both nicely in focus. Handheld with my Leica Monochrom and Luxocrhon lens.
