    All good points, Peter. One extra point which I have found helpful is practice, practice, practice - every day if I can until my muscle memory starts to kick in with the appropriate amount of controlled movement. Love the video, thanks for sharing it with us.

      Thanks a lot Greg & you’e definitely right about muscle memory. The more you do something consistently the easier/2nd nature it becomes ( or should😀😀 ). Have a great week!

    some really great shots , i am using luminar Neo also and am having problems with the auto align it doesnt seem to work for me well at all to you have the same problems also , any tips would be greatly appreciated

    • @peterviragphoto
      @peterviragphoto  Рік тому +1

      Hey there Fran, thanks a lot! The auto align struggles a fair bit if the layers your are stacking are from even slightly different angles so being rock steady when doing hand-held focus stacking will definitely help but I know what you mean, it has happened to me a few times as well with Luminar, so that’s one piece of advice I can give you. With troublesome stacks I also manually brush in parts in Photoshop using layer masks and adjusting the opacity to ensure the alignment is as good as possible. Cheers

    6:10 what did you mean by auto macro lens? Is it not a fully manual lens?
    Also amazing video, thank you for the tips!

    • @peterviragphoto

      Hi there. I said “ultra macro lens”. Glad you enjoyed mate! Cheers

      @@peterviragphoto ahhh ok. Thank you for the reply and clarification. I hope they start making autofocus macro lenses like Olympus. Or at least one of the companies do…
      Keep up the amazing work. Just subbed so looking forward to seeing more.
      Cheers

    • @peterviragphoto

      Thanks for your support. I don’t expect them to release AF macro lenses anytime soon as they try to remain competitive and it’s one of the easiest ways to keep the production costs low. I agree with you though, it would be fun if they expanded their lineup. Have a good one buddy!😀
