One photo was shot with the Ginkgo tree in focus and the 2nd photo was taken with the Red-Maple leaves in focus. Photoshop® is smart enough so that it automatically merged the two photos to make one image which is entirely in focus. Third Photo - Jindai Botanical Garden Entrance Area - Fall Colors - Green, Yellow, Brown and Red. |
