This is a focus stack of eleven images. My camera was roughly 1.5 feet from the ground and around 7 inches from the tufa in the upper left corner of the frame. Initially this was going to be an exposure blend, with a 90 second exposure for the sky blended in with the stacked landscape, but the clouds looked much better in first fast exposure in the stack, so I just went with that. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
This is an exposure blend of two images. A 90 second long exposure for the sky, and a faster exposure for the landscape. Captured February 2015 for a photography course project. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
It's interesting how the last photographs captured on a shoot that are thought to be 'photo dud's', often end up being the ones that are surprisingly the best. This image consists of a short focus stack of three images captured at different focus distances for the landscape portion, and an exposure blend of two separate exposures for the sky.
