Reidelsteinriedel & Festlbeilstein Photo

Photographer’s Note

There are two special things about this image. First, it is shot with my new Olympus Zuiko 21mm lens - an awesome yet tricky little thing. Second, I shot it with three different focus settings to maintain sharpness throughout the image. A technique recently suggested by the great Marc Adamus and one I always wanted to try but never had the right scene for it. I hope you like it.

Hallo Andreas,
technisch echt super - ich nehme an es ist ein stitch aus 3 Fotos, wenn Du dreimal fokusiert hast.
Und der Titel- ein echter Zungenbrecher :)
LG, Kompliment, Christian

Hi Andreas,

A Zuiko on a Canon 5D. One learns every day!
And an interesting idea to shoot with different focal points and create depth that way. It did wonders for the sharpness, but it will be some work to stitch it all together I guess.

Greetings!

Hi Andreas,
This technique is interesting! In the film era it is nearly impossible to do.
