You'll create focus-stacked macro photos such as the flowers seen here by shooting a series of images at varied focal distances and combining them with clever software.
Rack Focus
You can also use focal distance to draw attention to different subjects in a scene. In cinematography, a rack focus is a technique used to do exactly this. With the MEMENTO you can take a series of images with incrementally varied focal distance and then combine them into a GIF or video.
Split Diopter
Another popular focus trick used in films is the split diopter shot, which brings half of the frame into near focus and half into far focus. This is traditionally achieved with a special half-frame lens element secured in front of the main lens, but you can use a simple matting technique to combine two focused frames into one.
