The meeting commenced with Internal Competitions member, David Faulkes, giving a Powerpoint presentation on the techniques used for focus stacking. This demonstrated the process being performed automatically, by the editing programme’s software, and by the use of layers.
Following this, members split into small groups, with each group using a laptop, to practise the techniques themselves, giving mutual support. This was a very useful and enjoyable evening with members sharing their knowledge and helping others work through the process.
