PCS: Macro and Closeup Image Stacking with Shiv Verma (Lumix)
Macro photography lets you explore and create exciting photographs of a whole new and intimate world. Zeroing-in to create an interesting abstract or just filling the frame with a tiny flower, insect, or a jewel. Lumix Global Ambassador Shiv Verma will address the challenges you'll face with macro photography and the methods and tools used to overcome those challenges. We'll deal with the lighting, equipment, stacking, and several techniques to get better images.
You'll learn the importance of depth of field as it affects macro photos and how to create high magnification images using macro lenses, tubes, and diopters. In addition, you'll learn how to create one completely focused image from several partially focused images. This focus stacking technique is ideal for macro photography, as well as landscape photography when the sharpness of the entire scene is important.
