Chapter 2. Image Harvesting

Precision does not mean accuracy. Precision is just the number of decimal points back. Accuracy is how well precision reflects reality.

—Lane H. Decker

In this chapter, we will explore the concept of image harvesting. This is the practice of shooting multiple images of the same subject while changing the exposure, shutter speed, and focus point. This guarantees that your source files will contain the optimum aesthetic aspects of exposure, depth of field, and focus, so that you can later combine them to create a single, final image.
