This was processed similarly to #2 yesterday. After some pixel peeping, I find that part of the problem with these images is that at 6fps my Nikon D810's autofocus did not keep up with the distance changes as I walked toward the tree, i.e. the later images are slightly out of focus. So, the color and contrast are slightly more muddled than might otherwise have been the case. I suspect that the only answer is to shoot a series of single images more than 1/6 second apart, and this can only happen if Harry is not dragging me along. He's bummed.
I like the effect the overlapping frames create here against the white background, Andrew.
Like Chris I do feel the overlapping frames ad an interesting element to these.
Similar to this technique here are a couple of shots I took a couple of years ago. In this case I wanted to experiment with taking a number of individual images as I moved toward a subject, zooming at each step to keep the subject the same size & position in the frame.
Images were layered & processed in PS - just another option to play about with.
