Yesterdayâs sunrise on the coast of Down East Maine before a snowstorm started.
Nikon Z 7 with FTZ lens adapter and NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Due to the high dynamic range of the bright sky and the dark foreground, and the fact that my camera was very low to the ground and very close to the little tree in this scene, I had to focus & exposure stack to capture this scene. Four shot focus stack and another for dynamic range for five shots total. Three of the close focused exposures were focus stacked in Helicon Focus, a program that is dedicated to focus stacking. Photoshop has its own version of auto blend but it doesnât work very well for situations like this where the tree was moving a bit between frames and had the background rock intersecting it. That focus stacked result was then blended with the rest of the exposures in Photoshop.
