Focus stacking or focus bracketing?

For this week's video, I explain the difference between focus stacking and focus bracketing . Let me know in the comments which on you use and why. Look forward to discussing this with you this week.

I must admit that when you started off talking French I got worried because you seemed like you were going to give a great presentation so I am glad you did it in English because it was great. I learned so much about focus stacking/bracketing and it really is helping me plan my pottery photo shoot as in many cases there are different depths of field, so thank you!

Thank you for making it easy to understand the difference between the two.

Many thanks Emilie, you really have been a terrific help. I have just got to practice and practice! Have a lovely evening.

Now I understand the difference! Thank you Emilie

[slagclan]

Thank you! This info helps. You inspire me to get out there and practice!

Thank you so much for sharing, you really really helped me understand between focus stacking & bracketing. Now, I need to do some practice as you said. Have a lovely day.

Thank you for the video. I cannot wait to get outside tomorrow

Nicely explained. Thank you! Much easier than using a focus rail and doing things manually!

[debsunderman]

Thanks so much, you explain these perfectly! 📷 Practice practice and more practice! Always 😊 happy shooting!

Love the video both systems are used in the Om Camera and why I purchased the camera omlll and the om1

I don't if someone will have the same basketball (allen iverson) reference, but the key is Practice, practice practice... thank you Emilie !!

What about when to use exposure compensation and exposure bracketing? And when high resolution mode can help with noise reduction?

Hola. Muchas gracias por tus videos y tu trabajo desinteresado. Yo he comprado una olympus om1. Pero no consigo que con focus bracketing me salga la foto apilada final.me da error.que estare haciendo mal?? Gracias

Nice video. I do it my self quit a lot, but many times I get a blurry line around my subject. It's from the focus change from the lens. Do you know how you can prevent this from happening? Or how to get rid of afterwards. 😕 Thanks!

I have been doing this every day for a week now. So much fun. I use my front yard every morning for some cool pics. Been getting flowers and insects mostly.. I got a macro of a jumping spider and it appears like a gorilla. How fun.

Focus bracketing is the process of taking images at different focal distances. Focus stacking is the putting together of those images whether it be in camera (e.g., Olympus) or via external computer software (e.g., Photoshop, Helicon focus). Focus stacking does not occur without previous focus bracketing. The two are linked. Olympus cameras (and likely some others) have the option to take the images (focus bracketing) and then assemble them in camera (focus stacking). Alternatively, the bracketed images can be kept separate and assembled later out of camera.

Very informative. Thank you! My question though is with a manual focus only lense and using focus bracketing, can the camera adjust the focus point when there is no auto focus? I have the Sony a7RV and Laowa 90 Macro 2x. Very new to Macro, but that does confuse me.

Thank you for this well explained difference between the two different ways of the two different ways of focus stacking/bracketing. I only recently discovered focus stacking/bracketing. Most of the time I prefer focus stacking, because it gives immediate feedback. But invariably I end up using lightroom/photoshop to arrive at the final image. What do you do with the used photos? Do you just keep the merged image or do you keep all the images used in the merge?
While you use stacking in macro photography, I have used stacking in landscape photography with success.
