Kevin - thanks very much.
Yes - I did focus stack on this trip - when needed. For example, the 1st shot is a focus stack. I used f22 at the closest focus point on the lens, then switched to a smaller f-stop (shooting 1 before adjusting focus) - then shot focus intervals (at the smaller f-stop) out to infinity. The closest ice crystals were just a few inches in front of the lens - and my thought was to use f22 at that point in order to get as much as possible in focus (even with possible diffraction). I then shot a "normal" focus stack at the smaller f-stop in order to capture as much sharpness as possible. I then let photoshop work its magic with the f22 shot - along with the other images to get as much in focus as I could. I then checked the output for any weirdness (didn't see any). May be a bit convoluted - but it worked for me.

Todd, thanks very much for the technical detail. Love the images, and learning something is always a plus. Have not been successful with focus stacking as it appears, at least with one of my lenses to change the size of the image slightly, and have some difficulty matching stuff. Is there a reason you shot the closest focus at f22? b/c DOF is most limited when you focus close?
