Cape Honey Suckle - accidental focus stacks

In going through old files to delete and make room on the HDD I realized that before I started to try focus stacking I had been using bursts to get one sharp shot when flowers were moving in the breeze or I wasn't real steady with the hand holding.
Well I decided to try using those bursts for focus stacks.
6D, 100 mm macro, 1/200 @ f/8.0, ISO 800 hand held

#1 1st 7 shots of the burst that came the closest to matching
#2 All 20 shots used for a stack
I processed them a bit different as to colors, contrast etc.

Jerry, excellent and stacking is something I need to try in the future.

One of the only complaints I have about UHH is all the different types of photography and PP methods are outstanding and I want to give them a try but just do not have the time to do them all. I bet I am up to at least 10 different methods that I have not actually done as of yet. Stacking has been on the list and I just need to forget everything else and work on it. I doubt that last statement will happen very soon. Thanks again for showing the results one can get via stacking.

Greg

Thanks a lot.

Yes, lots of things to try - and in my case I am an Olympic class procrastinator.
