When trying to photograph this Rock Rose at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, I noticed the sign in the background and I thought it would be a good idea to include it but it was too far away and out of focus. Using the focus stacking technique (twice) I was able to get a series of frames of the flower and separately a photograph of the sign. I merged them using the technique described below.<\/p>\n<p>Focus stacking is not just for macro photography. Many talented photographers use it for landscape photography as well.
