Capturing the impossible is the goal of every photographer. But some of the latest cameras and lenses have capabilities that allow photographers to easily create images that are not only compelling and unique, but previously impossible to capture. One of the most amazing new possibilities is a feature called Focus Shift Shooting that takes the complicated process of focus stacking and makes it easier than ever. The results might completely change the way you create pictures.⠀ ⠀ This guitar image is razor sharp from the bridge all the way to the tuning machines—and everywhere in between. This is only possible because of the 67 images that were captured automatically with Focus Shift Mode using the Nikon Z 7II and the brand new Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S. ⠀ ⠀ Focus stacking is a process of capturing a series of images—all focused on a different part of the subject—and then merging them together to create a single image that is precisely sharp anywhere you want precise focus. This is very different from the concept of depth of field because rather than a SINGLE point of precise focus combined with the PERCEIVED focus you obtain with depth of field, focus stacking delivers ACTUAL focus. Everywhere. Even the smallest f/stop on any lens would not deliver anywhere near the depth of focus obtainable with focus stacking.⠀
