Focus stacking can be tricky in the field, battling changes of light, wind, spongy ground under the tripod legs. It requires patience, efficiency and skill.

Stephen Axford is one of the world's masters in macro field fungi photography and shares how his new Sony α7R V is helping him produce the best photographs he reckons he has ever taken. In this free tutorial he steps you through his process in the magnificent old growth forests of Tasmania's west coast.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments.
