How To Do Model Railroad Photography - (Part 2) Image Stacking for Maximum Sharpness

In this second video of a series on model railroad photography, we discuss Image Stacking which is a simple technique used for achieving reasonably sharp overall focus throughout the entire image.

We talk about the process and how it produces reasonably sharp focus overall by using multiple images that are blended into a single image with the help of software. We cover what you need and how to go about getting started. A new segment called “Sidetracked” (video within a video) is near the end of the video so be sure to watch the entire video.
