Incredible Close-ups and Landscapes
|
There's a concept in photography called depth of field that refers to how
much of an image appears to be in focus.
The image on the bottom-left shows how
if you focus on the flower's petals in the front of the image, most of the rest
of the flower is out-of focus. This is because the depth of field when taking
close-up pictures is VERY small - maybe only a fraction an inch or so.
Using software, you can achieve what photographers could only dream
of previously. You can achieve UNLIMITED depth of field.
We used Helicon Focus to take the larger image above. As you can see, every part
of the flower is in focus. You can do this too! Check out the two links below for
an animation of how this was done and for the full-size image.

We don't like to use a lot of different programs on our images, but Helicon Focus
is SO UNIQUE, that it's one of the very few we do use!
Helicon Focus comes in two versions: Lite and Pro. Click the link below to
see the differences.
