I was recently hiking about on Sixes Beach when I sat down next to this big rock to take a break and enjoy the view. As I was sitting there I noticed this unique perspective of the lighthouse so I of course got out my camera and tripod. This is actually two photos combined. The rock was only 50 feet or so in front of the camera while the lighthouse is 1.1 miles in the distance. A camera can’t focus on a close subject and a distant subject at the same time so either the close subject or distant subject isn’t going to be in focus in a single shot. The solution? Take two photos, one focused on the close rock and another focused on the distant lighthouse, then stack the two photos together!
