The hybrid, fall or Japanese anenomes are in bloom again. They are among my favorites in this time where there are few blooms in the garden, although they spread like weeds. This simple white variety is one of my favorites, more photogenic than most.
A composite or stack of slightly over 50 frames, with a few bliemishes in the petals removed in Photoshop, and a lot of work on the background to make artifacts introduced by the stacking software disappear--it seems to take some of the noise in the background and amplify it, and also generates a bit of a halo around the bloom.
Photos acquired with tethering software (Helicon Remote) which did the focus stepping, stacked in Zerene, touched up in Photoshop.
Camera on tripod, remote diffused flash to left, printed background.
