This photo was achieved by shooting two images of the same scene quickly, at different focal points, using the same exposure settings. Then I blended the two images in Photoshop. While I was at this location in Tanzania, I could see all the birds in focus, but I could only achieve this photographically by shooting two focal planes. This is like focus-stacking, but only using two areas. Our eyes will always look for the areas in an image that are in focus so, creatively, we can direct viewers to those elements we want them to focus on. I have tried this method on a few occasions with my wildlife photography, but I feel it could also be interesting in landscapes.
