This is a fantastic photograph. I am going to have to try your technique. Thank you for sharing. BTW I totally agree with you about your article about the art community and their mis-conception fine art. Just read your article and story about how you made the flower photograph.

I spent over 50 hours putting it together. The Hasselblad wouldn't have helped the depth of field. Dan Thanks Kurtis. I spent over 50 hours putting it together.

I can only imagine how tedious that must have been manually stitching 270+ photos. Good grief! I would be tempted to just rent the highest-end Hasselblad and save myself the trouble, haha. How many hours did you spend on post-processing, approximately, I'm curious? And as a sidenote... I thought I'd heard of some programs that will automate the process of combining focus-stacked images. Cutting off petals might throw those programs off, though, I guess, and you probably got a higher quality result anyways.

I have tried Helicon focus and I feel I can do a better job manually. Dan No I haven’t but I’ll look into it.
