Macro Focus Stacking | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Susan T. is, “Hey David, I recently got myself a macro lens, and I’ve been having a blast taking super close-up photos of everything in my house. I’m having trouble getting some things entirely in focus, even at f/32. Is that normal, and what can I do about it?”
