Stack photography shooting skills

The so-called stacking is to stack countless photos together, provided that the photos taken some time ago are in the same position and the composition has not moved or only slightly moved.

Then use a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the early stage. If you can use cable release or APP to control shooting as much as possible, it is easy to shake when you control the shutter by hand.

Finally, the shooting interval of each photo is 7 seconds-10 second, which is generally suitable for most subjects. Determine the number of shots according to your own needs, and you can shoot.

Second, the photo processing

After the photo shooting is completed, the photos are processed in batches, that is, the photos that need to be stacked are uniformly colored. It can be processed by PS batch processing or LR.

With PS batch processing, you must first create a new action in "Window-Action" to record your adjustment, and then the subsequent photos will be automatically batch processed.

In the last step, select "Layer-Smart Object-Stacking Mode-Average", and the system will stack itself, which will take some time and consume memory.

Stack mode The two most commonly used modes here are:

Maximum value: the brightest places on each floor overlap each other;

Average value: used to simulate the exposure effect of slow gate length.
