Macro Photography: Should You Focus Stack or Not? (Full Tutorial)

Macro photography is all about capturing incredible detail, but is photo stacking really worth it? In this video, I explore macro photography and photo stacking step by step to help you decide if stacking is right for you. In this back-to-basics macro photography tutorial, I demonstrate how to manually focus stack using the powerful OM-1 Mark II paired with the incredibly sharp M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS PRO. While this camera features in-camera focus stacking, this video proves that you don’t need built-in focus stacking to achieve professional, tack-sharp macro photography results. I walk you through the entire manual focus stacking workflow, sharing my exact camera settings so you can follow along and replicate the process yourself. For smooth, precise incremental adjustments, I use the NiSi NM-180 Macro Focusing Rail, an essential tool for achieving consistent frame progression and maximum sharpness across your subject. Lighting plays a huge role in macro photography, so I demonstrate my setup using the Adaptalux Studio Pod 3 with two flexible lighting arms, mounted securely on the incredibly versatile Platypod system. I also use a lab lift table (sourced from Amazon) to fine-tune subject positioning for precision macro work. I also talk about my good friend Stewart Wood,    • Mastering Macro Photography with Stewart Wood  , who is a top macro photographer and exceptionally skilled at in-camera photo stacking. His results are outstanding, and it just goes to show there are multiple ways to approach macro photography successfully, whether you prefer in-camera stacking or full manual control.
