This week I take my Neewer pro 4-way macro focusing rail slider and Vanguard Veo 3+ into the woodland and demonstrate how to take a series of images to create a focused stacked image. As a bonus, I also demonstrate how to achieve a similar result using the Nikon focus shift mode that is built into the camera.
If you want to see how I edit my focus stacked images check out this video:

To check out my review of the Vanguard Veo 3+ tripod which I use in this video check it out here:

What method do you use to do focus stacking - in-camera tools, or manual focus stacking using a rail? Let me know in the comments below!

I have a Neewer rail and just bought a Canon R7 with focus peaking and focus bracketing. Your tutorial is the first I have seen that fully answered my questions on how to use both the rail and the camera for macro photography. Thanks

@CharlesPalmerPhotography
@CharlesPalmerPhotography 3 года назад
Thanks very much. For astro or landscape you'd probably only need 2-3 shots for stacking, no need for a focus rail - I'd just do the focus adjustment manually 👍

Cheers Craig! Do you manually change focus to focus stack? Almost included that in the video, but it was getting a bit long, and I'm never very good at judging it just by adjusting focus manually!
@CraigNiesenPhotography
@CraigNiesenPhotography 3 года назад
​@@CharlesPalmerPhotography I am still using an old Nikon D600. So, I usually select a different focus point on an out-of-focus area of the composition. Of course, that is dependent on the limited number of focus points and their location. I may end up doing a video about the focusing system on the D600/D610.

I've never used a focus rail, well cause I don't own one, but I've used focus bracketing (Canon language) to do my focus stacking. Nice tutorial. I've stopped using Ps to do my focus stacking as I get poor results, especially with crossing lines and parts of the image out of focus.

I agree, Photoshop isn't great for stacking. What do you use?

Interesting video Charles. Could I ask does the rail have any issues with backlash as the Amazon photo's don't show the underside of the unit. If so what do you do to overcome the problem?

Great video Charles, I only have a manual focus macro lens, so I’m thinking a focus rail might just be the thing to get! :-)

I think it would work perfectly for you then! And this one was reduced when I got it to 35 pounds and seems pretty robust.

Does focus stacking work on a lens where the front element extends and retracts for focusing?
@lokitomanny

Would had been nice if you included the software part of it, I can produce the stacks but I have no clue how to merge them.

Hi. I have just acquired a macro lens. In your first example, using the Neewer rail, did you experience camera creep as the weight of the camera and rail move the lens nearer to the subject? Perhaps the Neewer has some form of locking system that has to be engaged before taking a shot. The reason for my question is that I have the Shoot rail (some years old, now) and am wondering whether your Neewer is more stable. Thanks.
@davidbailey1689
@davidbailey1689 Год назад
Hi Charles. Forget my question as I have since bought the Neewer rail and it does not creep. It is excellent.

Is there an auto motorized system that takes continuous shots while moving closer between shots?
@CharlesPalmerPhotography
@CharlesPalmerPhotography 3 года назад
Hi there Perry, this one is manual, so not motorised, I'm afraid. Though I like the more manual process anyway.

@tinplater
@tinplater 2 года назад
What I don't get is, since you are moving the camera closer to the subject with each shot, that should make each image framed a slightly different size...as an example imagine 20 shots at 1/8 inch closer distance with each shot. After 10 shots you have moved more than an inch closer to the subject which should make it larger. It seems to me the accurate way to do this would be to slightly change the focus manually with each shot, keeping the camera in exactly the same spot throughout?
@raduszilagyi6055
@raduszilagyi6055 2 года назад
Actually no. I bought this year my first real macro lens and found out about focus breathing, which I will explain: when you have the camera and subject still, when you try to manually focus on another part of the subject, it actually zooms in a little bit. It's like you have a zoom lens, but you actually don't. It's anoying, but it's present in probably all true macro lens
@tinplater
@tinplater 2 года назад
@@raduszilagyi6055 What I was referring to...let's say you take a picture 3 feet away from a bicycle, then you take a photo every inch closer until you are one foot away from the bicycle....the image size of the object from front to back will have changed dramatically. I realize this is a exaggerated example, just using it to clarify my question, doesn't the size of the object become larger as you move the camera ever closer to it?
