the aperture, or both. Forget about getting a stacked photo that
day. However, if you stack photos then wind will seldom let you get
more than a couple of shots off before it starts to move things
around within the frame.
Even with a light tent you have wind. It creeps in through the
bottom of the tent, although using a couple of rocks or large sticks
to weigh down the sides can lessen it a bit. Still, if the wind is up
and the flower (or whatever) is delicate and on an attenuated stem,
you are going to find movement and be waiting for the wind to die
down. Light tents can greatly speed up an outing, allowing you to
get many more photos on a windy day.
I have 24” and 48” light cubes and usually always have the smaller
one in my car. Using light tents can mean that I range in a smaller
radius from my car than I otherwise might but the results are more
than worth it. With care and setup (weighting the sides if the wind is
up), I can shoot fairly large stacks most of the time.
Of course, to avoid getting the white sides of the tent in the photo
you will have to shoot at some angle,
