Focus Stacking the Easy and Successful Way
I have largely abandoned stopping the lens down to cover the depth of field for the several reasons listed below: Stopping the lens down to f/16 and f/22 produces an overall less sharp image due to the optical effects of diffraction. Stopping the lens down usually doesn’t cover the depth of field all that well anyway. Only where the lens is focused is it truly sharp.

The Magic of Snow at Bryce Canyon
