How and Why I Focus Bracket my Fungi Photography

In this video I walk you through the focus bracketing process that I use for my fungi and close up photography. I take you through the manual process with a Laowa 100mm 2x Ultra Macro APO and the in-camera focus shift shooting option on my Nikon D850 with a Sigma 105mm f/2.8, while discussing why I choose to bracket my images.

For those interested in the specific gear used in this video, I will leave the appropriate links below! Thank you for watching and I will see you next time.
