Absolutely stunning photo. How long does it take to complete it from the first shot to the finished photo?

Thank you! I uses 3 flashes and to be sure they are not overheated I wait 12 seconds between each shot. And I also take more than the 167 pictures to be sure I cover what I want. So around 40 minutes to take the pictures. And then around 30 minutes to merge the pictures. And I think I did this 3-4 times before getting a series I was pleased with. And then some work in LR and sometimes in PS. So it takes a lot of time

wow, that is a long time. But the result is stunning.

Yes it's a lot of work, but rewarding to get a good result. Trying to do some 10x as well but it's even more work...
