In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
I'd actually like a system to (remotely)switch between a number of preset focal distances. When I'm drive by shooting I normally use the hyperfocal distance to get everything from the pavement (around 1m ) to as close to infinity in focus. Although in practise anything upto 20 metres does the job...

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
Just did a 4 stack shot of a moth .. handheld so not as steady as I would like and the flash is a bit harsh but even so ... by , on Flickr All I did was take 4 shots in quick succession while moving the camera back slightly and then loaded them into Helicoid software. Looks like it's don...

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
Looks like it's done a great job on the moth, but what on earth's gone on in the background? :? Dan Background wasn't good to start with but it is pretty dire I must admit. :lol: I may spend some time and clean it up a bit.

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
Tanner (Yeatzee) over on PF must be the king of this technique. From 3 or 4 stacked images for a regular 'macro' look: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5187/5623475026_7b30e4efaa_z.jpg Or many images deep stacked for ridiculous detail: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/5765764029_79fc958e5a_z....

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
Interesting pictures, but horrible backgrounds. The second looks fmore like a SEM image than a photograph.

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
I quite like the background... but that has nothing to do with focus stacking, it's just what he has chosen to shoot the subject against (orange OOF flowers presumably, and pink in the second). The first one shows how dof can be extended modestly without it looking unnatural, and works very well IMO...

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
I'm starting to get into bug shooting more. I've had my first go with focus stacking and it went OK, but I can see how in camera focus bracketing would be immensely useful. I personally wouldn't change brands for that alone. But for a serious macro shooter I think it probably would be a reason ...

Interesting pictures, but horrible backgrounds. The second looks fmore like a SEM image than a photograph. C'mon John, could you BE any more negative? :roll: They are surely much more than just 'interesting pictures'. I'd estimate 99% of people would call them stunning, incredible, fantastic, or som...

Yes John stop being such an old grumpus. :lol: If focus stacking was a feature offered on the K5 you'd probably be raving about it :twisted:

Personally I would rather the backgrounds on those than say .. oil drums :shock:

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
An old pump up Flit Fly Spray would look nice! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Edit: For anyone who doesn't know what a Flit Fly Spray is here's a link click on the photo (from the days before aerosols) It was far more effective if you just hit the fly over the head with it! :mrgreen:

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
I don't dislike the images as such, they are sharp, but I do dislike the OTT background colours. The two do go together. It's got nothing whatsoever to do with the K-5 or anything else, it's just about the images. The second one looks unnaturately sharp and much like a SEM image would look. That'...

In-Camera focus bracketing - how difficult would it be?
Focus bracketing will help to produce focus stacked images, but I think moving the whole camera and lens or subject, without adjusting focus on the lens produces slightly better results. For that, some sort of macro rail or linear stage is required, or a very steady hand. I'd love to have a pl...

Who has what?
Upgraded from a K110D the first DSLR to a K10 then this year to the K20D. Now working on the lenses :) In the collection and used regularly; Pentax 12-24 F4, Pentax 17-70 F4 SDM. I also have a Sigma 50mm macro and a 70-300mm APO macro, but looking to sell them for the Pentax 60-250 F4 SDM ...

Who has what?
As for the K7 will wait and see. I would like higher dynamic range, better low light use and faster focus, these points have nearly lead me to jump to a N**** D700 but I keep hanging in there because of the Pentax kit I already have and to be different from most. Why the D700 out of interest? If I ...

Who has what?
I am new to DSLR photography and my first was a K100D. Used it on a photographic safari in Kenya in 2007 and loved the results, which compared to some of the gallery shots are quite amatuerish. Bought the K200D in Novemeber for my next safari and it broke the day I was due to fly. Now with Pentax. D...

Are you going to buy the K-7
I really do not understand this constant bashing of the price! Check the spec sheets, build quality etc.etc. and it makes the K-7 very good value for money!! I really do think that this is a fantastic pro spec camera for Pentax, and I can see it winning loads of awards this year. All of that s...

Are you going to buy the K-7
Well thanks for that, I honestly though it was just me noticing this. Im pretty sure that if I were look back at when the K20D was announced there were a lot of K10D users saying the same thing. No problem! It really does seem to me that people have just read 'same sensor and 5fps' and the conc...
