Skill Level:
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor:
Emily Hojnowski

Who doesn’t love a nice tack-sharp flower photo? Or a beautiful landscape, in focus from foreground to background? These images can be created effortlessly, but sometimes, there may be a little more effort than you might think!
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Emily Hojnowski as she presents an Intro to Focus Stacking: The process of combining multiple images, each with a different focus point, in order to create images with far greater depth of field, in which all (or most) of the image is in focus!
The process begins in camera where the image is created, then shifts to the computer using Lightroom and Photoshop. Emily will give a step-by-step of the process in this primer course!
