Thanks. I'll check it out. I've been following LordV (Brian Valentine) on another website.If you read thru LordV's pages prior to his new site you will find info on this procedure. I've also read this on the photomacrography.net site that the developer of Zerene software/Rik Littlefield/started.

I'll see if I can find it again. In theory I can see it working but in practice as Martin states it would be tricky around the fuzziness areas to incorporate the final image. Really like your flower, great colours.No I haven't-- and I haven't seen this in the stacking literature I've read, so I would like a reference. Here's one of my favorite stacks: 7 images shot at 1/40 & f/5.6-- which has become my "go to" aperture for tripod stacks. Of course, if I was hand-holding I'd probably stop down to f/8-f/11

Thanks. We have some very small alpine blossoms (4-5mm) in this area. On my list is to shoot some stacks this Spring of these various flowers using only natural light with maybe some reflected fill light. I think they'll be about 4x once I'm finished.I'll see if I can find it again.

I think opening up aperture for the final shot or two or three has the potential to make a smooth fade to blur. Something to try on the tabletop. I think it would work well on static subjects with a rail and tripod setup as well. That said, it would be very difficult to do on a hand stack, at least for me. The movement needs to be very fluid and firing the shots, DoF band timing, needs to be precise. I can't see changing aperture at the end of the sequence and getting a good closing frame. Perhaps if there is a preprogrammed custom setting button......
