Photo Bracketing and Photo Stacking

Written By Carl Svanfelt

We had a thunderstorm, so now it was time to test photo bracketing with my Fujifilm X-H1 camera for the first time. To get ideas, I watched YouTube videos on macro photography. You can see the settings I used in the captions.

To be successful, the lighting must be perfect. As far as insects are concerned, you do best in temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius. For razor-sharp macro photography, many photographers use software specially developed for photo stacking. I used Photoshop CC for photo stacking, which did the job quickly and satisfactorily. I will continue the experiments and show the pictures in future blog articles.

Camera: Fujifilm X-H1 | Lens: Fujinon XF 50-140MM F/2.8 R LM OIS WR + Macro extension tube MCEX-16 | Camera settings: RAW file Manual settings: @ 90mm, f 7.1 @ 1/250 s, ISO 200 | Light: Godox R1 mini (5499K) | Electronic shutter: On.
