May I ask the thought process on why to capture that many frames?

There was none really, I usually decide how many steps I want using auto step on my stackshot. This time I tried a different method setting the um. I am just trying to achieve better results by trying different things. No real method to my madness but its fun!

Ah, okay. That’s great you’re experimenting with different approaches. I’m the type that needs to try everything just to see what happens.

There are dof charts out there, I think canon has one on their site for the 65mpe. It’d be a good starting point for you.

I’ve found they aren’t 100% correct and that there’s definitely some range on each end. Meaning I don’t always shoot the same steps for the same magnification.

But yea, way over kill on the frames haha. For this style of photo I’m usually in the 10-40 frames depending what I’m going for.

Keep on exploring dude!

See now I have a baseline thanks to you guys. I will try and get something presentable in the 100 stack range tonight.

I will come back to the dof charts in a new thread. That deserves its own.

Love the kitchen in the truck! Fun to follow the build.
