It's Pumpkininny!

This is the first of 17 identical images I took from a tripod for an image stacking test. It was actually more like 25 images, but I removed the ones from the beginning and end where the tripod setup was shaking a bit from me starting and stopping the photo taking. I went very carefully through the shots to find the ones that were to-the-pixel lined up with one another, which turned out to be 17 smack in the middle.

 

To get the 17 identical shots, I set my camera to multishot mode, the icon for which looks like several stacked sheets of paper. This mode lets you hold the shutter button down to take shots as fast as the camera can keep up. I wrapped a rubber band twice around the camera and shutter button, and then stuck a small toy Pixelblock in between the rubber band and shutter button. This was enough to hold the button firmly down. I let go, and remained motionless for awhile as the camera slowly snapped off about 25 7.1MP images of this pumpkin.
