Kap; Bracketing Notes - Canon CHDK Quick Start Manual

KAP

Kite aerial photography (KAP)
kite and is triggered either remotely or automatically to take aerial photographs. The camera rigs can
range from the extremely simple, consisting of a trigger mechanism with a disposable camera, to
complex apparatuses using radio control and digital cameras. On some occasions it can be a good
alternative to other forms of aerial photography. (From Wikipedia -

Bracketing notes

"Bracketing" is the taking of a series of shots with an incremental, usually subtle change in a variable
between each one. Bracketing can be done with changes in shutter speed, ISO, aperture value, focus, etc,
and though a bit challenging, several variables can be bracketed in combination, as well. Usually
bracketing is done in order to cover a range of the variable values in an effort to capture the best of
several shots. In such cases, bracketing can be done hand held, "on the fly" so to speak, and is most likely
done in "Continuous shooting" mode, also in Custom Timer mode if the camera can take multiple shots in
that mode. Usually, the photos are viewed after download side by side as thumbnails (or further
scrutinized in a browser), the "pick(s) of the bunch" is kept, and the rest are discarded.
(Note: When using Custom Timer mode for bracketing, the shutter button requires just one press, not
held down as in Continuous mode)
Focus Bracketing is the taking of a series of photographs where the point of focus is moved incrementally
between each shot. This is usually applied to macro applications where depth of field is notoriously
shallow. But there's something much more fun we can do with a handful of focus bracketed shots!
"DoF Stacking" (Depth of Field Stacking) is where we combine a selection of focus bracketed photos in a
similar manner to the way that three or more images are combined to make single HDR photos.
Presumably, the term "stacking" most likely comes from the physical stacking of different negatives to
obtain a desired effect of a photo during processing in a darkroom. (-Anybody remember those?) The
resulting image from DoF stacking can have usually paradoxical qualities; the superb detail of a macro
shot with the depth of field of a landscape shot. CHDK makes it possible.
