How to FOCUS STACK | Bonus Tip: How to Photograph Streams + Waterfalls

In this info-packed tutorial, we discuss how (and when) to use focus stacking in landscape photography from composing the image to post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop. I take you on a short hike in Vermont and use streams as our subject as I review how to photograph waterfalls using neutral density filters. I also give a short tutorial on how to use the PhotoPills app to find the correct exposure when using filters. Hopefully, there is a little something for everyone in this video! Enjoy!
