Macro: Easy tips for beautiful, shallow depth of field shots (plus Lightroom and focus stacking)

Andrew Lanxon Photography - 17/07/2022

Today, I use wide apertures for shallow depth of field to help separate my subject from its background. But then I also use focus stacking to make sure my whole subject stays pin sharp. I show my top tips and tricks for using burst mode, centre-point focusing and auto focus for nailing shots of fast-moving subjects.

I then show how I take my images into Adobe Lightroom and use easy editing techniques to turn the raw files into more eye-catching pieces of art.

In this video I'm shooting on my Canon EOS R5 with 100mm RF 2.8 macro lens. All shots are hand held.
