At Nugshots we feel that innovation is extremely important. We are constantly trying to improve and evolve our style. First we pioneered 360 degree nugshots with the launch of the new website. Focus Plus (Focus+) is our next innovation. It’s a new technique we’re experimenting with to get rid of depth of field completely. Depth of field is the area of a photo that is in focus. Wikipedia explains it better.
In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, the depth of field (DOF) is the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
With macro photography, the depth of field is greatly diminished. In most cases, the maximum depth of field that we can achieve is not great enough to make the entire nug in focus. Focus+ is what we call the act of taking multiple photos each at a different focus point and combining them into one photo. The photos required ranges anywhere from 10 to 70.
Here is an example of the difference in quality between the old style of shooting and Focus+. The Focus+ photo is a composite of 22 photos.
At the time of this post, there are two photos on the site that are Focus+ Enhanced. Take a look at the future of Nugshots photography: Ginger Grow Ogizzle & Blackberry
I barely notice a difference at all. Seems to me like it’s kinda useless. All it did was brighten it slightly, that’s like 2 clicks in Photoshop.
you clearly have no idea what youre talking about and did not read at all. It has a higher depth of field which means more of the nugget is in focus. you get a better view of the bud
Look in the shadows closer you will surely see that Focus+ helps, and it looks so fuzzy! “yo load some of that fuzzy in a bowl”
really? if you don’t notice a difference than you shouldn’t be on this site.
Whoaaaaa that IS detailed. how did you guys accomplish this? I would very much appreciate more pics but not only from buds! I want to know how to do that
That first guy is a moron, you can absolutely notice the difference. Nice work, these photos literally make my mouth water. Ok time to smoke…
First guys “useless” lol
What A Difference, I can see all the color and variations in that color, I see trichomes in complete depth. very Impressive Tech!
what are you using to put all those photos togeather
This is genius, I just dont know how you guys focus the lens on different area’s when the camera is in one position.
Its called focus stacking. But its not easy Nugshots are pro’s at this i can see.
Meh @ focus stacking/blending. Real photographers can get great in-focus shots with proper subject manipulation. Eliminating bokeh takes away half of what makes photography attractive IMO, no drama to these shots, they may as well be computer-rendered.
Drama has nothing to do with hi-resolution photos taken to reveal as accurately as possible the smallest details of a particular strain. This a perfect application for focus stacking. Out of focus, your brain is.

do you faggits think your cool because you smoke weed and look at pictures of weed online, do you pathetic losers honestly have nothing better to do with your time, fuck you people and fuck your weed, its all about that mdma and crack cocaine
Hi, I have been working on this for over a year! you can see my work here http://www.monious.com I hope you like it.
yes the colours are very nice and the thc content of the bud is sexy
Well, this is good for the art of the photography, but who really cares when real focus is being lost in a blazy haze…

lovely images, nice lighting and real sharp the whole bud. Which software you use for focus stacking? And how’s your lighting set up? thnx
Good stuff! Really like that idea of focus+ & the edit came out really nice
