I have been using the FB tube from Helicon focus for about a year now. I am enjoying the ease and stressless workflow since I have been stacking in the field with it. This image is from the same collection as the post in the close-up section I posted just prior to this. I feel like I am cheating, because it use to take so long to capture the stacks.
I have 5 different series of shots of this particular set of flowers. Though this isn't in my yard for this sample, it took about 20 minutes to shoot all 5 series with the helicon tube. I grabbed the flowers from the garden and set them in a softbox for the shots illuminated with led work lights. As you can see, the results are more than adequate. Each series took about 15 seconds to shoot 30-40 images. The only reason it wasn't faster is that the buffer on the D810 slowed down and I had to wait for the camera to write to the card.
I hope you are enjoying this series. the other post is in the close-up section.
Enjoy.

Yes, please explain what it is and how this is done. Thanks.
David, this is a lovely flowers shot. I love stacking and have only done a little “tubing” but it really works!
