ffmpeg's image sequence demuxer, when not reading from a pipe, will 
probe for sequence size at initialization, so if an image doesn't exist 
at that stage, it won't be considered.

There's no general recursive mechanism. You can always manually chain 
the same filter, however, this will get unwieldy quick.

For your particular case, you can use the geq filter

     ffmpeg -loop 1 -i starting-image.jpg -vf 
"geq=lum='p(X,Y)*pow(0.9,N)':cb='p(X,Y)'" -vframes 10 -q:v 2 out%d.jpg

The input luma is multiplied with 0.9 raised to the input frame count; 
count starts from zero. Chroma channels remain as-is.
