Today we continue our online workshop series by looking at the topic of Focus Stacking and Blending. I have covered lots of these concepts before but I have many people asking about the various techniques and my mindset when shooting these images. So I cover everything from shooting and focus stacking in the field to a full edit of the blending of multiple images in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Don't forget to follow the link above to my website where you can download the free workshop guides as well as the raw photos used in this video so you can have a go at the editing yourself.
I hope you get something out of this video and as always I very much welcome your comments down below.

Pro tip for resizing and adjusting hardness/softness of the brush in Photoshop. Makes it easier to select the exact brush size and hardness you need for different maskings
