QU'EST-CE QUE LE FOCUS STACKING (ICI AVEC UNE FOURMI NOIRE) ?

L'empilement de mise au point combine plusieurs images focalisées sur un point différent pour créer une image résultante avec une profondeur de champ plus grande que n'importe laquelle des images sources individuelles !

Il s'agit d'une technique conçue pour surmonter les limites de la profondeur de champ, en d'autres termes, lorsque la configuration de l'appareil photo ne peut pas gérer ses capacités de profondeur de champ !

WHAT IS FOCUS STACKING ? ( WITH BLACK ANT ) ?

Focus stacking combines multiple images focused on a different spot to make a resulting image with a greater depth of field than any of the individual source images.

It’s a technique designed to overcome the limits of depth of field, in other words, when the camera’s setup can’t handle its depth of field capabilities.

I try to vary when I go out each day for my exercise walk because so often I'm walking past the same things over and over again and I like seeing them in differing light. The other night I was walking at dusk and passed by a house I've never taken much note of before but which shouted out to me because of an unusual porch-light configuration. Though the house is clearly a large victorian, this little abstracted view gives much more the feel of the Arts & Crafts homes that I'm so fond of.

"Macro Mondays" and "carbon"

Pyrolytic carbon is pure carbon, but forming mosaic crystals. Thus, it shows strong diamagnetism, so that a small magnet (here: 5mm diameter) can levitate above a surface of pyrolytic carbon (there is one more "lifting"-magnet in the game, which is about 10cm above the scene and not shown here. Yet - to my knowledge- this is the simplest setup for (passive) levitation - no electronics, no external energy or control loop necessary!

The often-quoted Earnshaw theorem (which forbids stable magnetostatic levitation configurations) does not apply here, since this theorem does not take diamagnetism into account.

Later on, german physicist Werner Braunbeck extended Earnshaws theorem, showing that materials with magnetic permeability less than one (like pyrolytic graphite, bismuth, copper etc.) allow for stable configurations. This photo is one example for such a setup.

Batman's extra-toed front paws are tucked under him much of the time. The configuration of his extra toes works out well for him; the 2 extras on each front paw are grouped together almost like an opposable thumb. We were instructed to keep an eye on his claws because sometimes the tips of polydactyl claws could poke a pad in an uncomfortable way (over time or for particular cats). Batman's "thumb" claws fold flat under his foot like a lawn chair, so not much clipping is required.

This would be the very best configuration and colour combination for the Ferrari 430 Scuderia for me! Well, but I like the normal F430 Coupé more, so I'd rather have a yellow F430...

It really is an awesome best, huh?

Looks again so dark in Flickr so watch in the lightbox!

After shooting I014 with the 911 at Rochdale I thought I could make it to the top of the parking garage before they pulled in. Alas they were the fastest CSXT crew in history and despite making all the lights, by the time I sprinted from the fourth floor to the roof of the parking garage (since the top level was chained off precluding driving all the way up like usual) I literally missed the shot by 30 seconds as I watched the head end disappear behind the garage! It was a (no) photo finish, but at least one other person got it...

Anyway, to get a sense of what might have been here is the well known scene only about 45 min later as regular daily I022 (Syracuse to Worcester premium intermodal) arrives between two run of the mill Gevos and is seen crossing over at CP45 to enter the west end of the yard at the east end of CSXT's Boston Sub mainline. Looking on behind the units is long closed New Haven tower SSM334 dating from the 1911 grade separation project and track configuration when the Boston and Albany built Union Station and reconfigured the trackage in the area in conjunction with tenants New Haven and Boston and Maine whose lines entered from the south and north respectively.

B-16408 from Eva Air on short final for 07L Hong Hong Airport 3 March 2013, on yet another hazy day near the HAECO area...

This was a 'combi' version of the B747 with a seating configuration of C28W86Y162/CARGO, and was withdrawn in December 2014, and broken up in 2017.

One arm of (please forgive me...) a four-armed third hand bent into this week's thematic shape.

From a bit of web research, I found out it is made from modular hose, a product normally used in metalworking and woodworking machinery but adaptable to other applications.

Linked picture now available!

CPKC's Brownville-Montréal train No. 121 is battling the grade out of Magog, QC, with a pair of GE's in a 1-1-x configuration and a mix of freight, intermodal and autos.

Le site des dunes de Tadoussac offre une configuration idéale pour l'observation de la migration des oiseaux. En raison de la largeur du fleuve Saint-Laurent, les oiseaux ne se risquent pas à le traverser à cet endroit. Il se crée des couloirs de vents favorables compte tenu de la configuration particulière du fleuve avec le Saguenay et son fjord, Le site des dunes est dégagé et offre à l'observateur un point de vue unique. On voit les oiseaux de proie arriver par-dessus la montagne, quand on regarde vers l'est-nord-est. Un premier couloir passe côté fleuve, à main droite, et on y voit souvent les oiseaux glisser le long de la dune avant de remonter. L'autre corridor passe plutôt côté terre, à main gauche. Ils suivent ensuite le fleuve jusqu'à ce que ce leur soit facile de le franchir, à partir de Québec et plus au sud. Ces temps-ci, un ornithologue professionnel fait le décompte des migrateurs. Sa connaissance des oiseaux est formidable. Il identifie les espèces à distance à leur silhouette et à leur vol. Il peut facilement statuer sur leur âge. Grâce à lui nous avons observé de nombreuses espèces qui nous auraient échappé.

Il y avait activité de baguage des passereaux, le jour, et des nyctales, la nuit, au pavillon des dunes. L'observatoire des oiseaux de Tadoussac, l'OOT, organisait et gérait tout ça.

The Tadoussac Dunes site offers an ideal setting for observing bird migration. Because of the width of the St. Lawrence River, birds do not risk crossing it at this point. Corridors of favorable winds are created given the particular configuration of the river with the Saguenay and its fjord. The site of the dunes is clear and offers the observer a unique point of view. We see the birds of prey coming over the mountain, when we look to the east-northeast. A first corridor passes on the river side, to the right, and we often see the birds gliding along the dune before going up. The other corridor passes rather on the land side, to the left. They then follow the river until it is easy for them to cross it, starting from Quebec and further south. These days, a professional ornithologist is counting the migrants. His knowledge of birds is tremendous. He identifies species at a distance by their silhouette and flight. He can easily decide on their age. Thanks to him we observed many species that would have escaped us.

There was banding activity for passerines during the day and owls at night at the pavilion des dunes. The Tadoussac bird observatory, the OOT, organized and managed all of this.

To make the most of the beautiful sun of these days for shooting the full sun I have prepared this configuration: underneath the Lunt LS80T with Halfa filter and above an apochromatic refractor for the Baader Planetarium Herschel Wedge filter (visible light) or the Lunt B600 Ca-K filter

Captain Davie described the configuration of the great banking room. "Before conversion, three sets of four teller stations were placed between the square pillars on the right side. Each station included the main parts of classical architecture in reduced size, the horizontal entablature resting on the two vertical columns and consisting of cornice, frieze, and architrave. Strong structures supported a bronze hinged wicket at each of the 16 positions. Some of these groupings have been rearranged to accommodate hotel design requirements."

Although the use of the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank building changed ten years ago, from a bank and offices to a hotel with 245 guest rooms, the original features of the structure remain remarkably intact. The Courtyard-Marriott Hotel, located in the heart of a vibrant downtown San Diego, is a spectacular example of successful readapted use. The hotel stands proud in the bank's place, as the sentinel of an important piece of San Diego history.

The main iconic buildings of Dubai (from left to right: Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Burj Khalifa) as seen from the non less iconic Palm Jumeirah Island.

I posted a similar shot a long time ago, but the configuration of the buildings was totally different because it was shot from the different vantage point.

Shot with my beloved Nikkor 70-200mm F/2.8 VRII. The details at full resolution zoomed at 100% are simply amazing. And of course thanks to a particular clear and haze free night, with a glorious full moon (that was just eclipsed 2 hours before).

Benedetto Buffalino – La voiture sur le lampadaire, 2019 - Voiture Peugeot 406 blanche, métal, bois, système d’éclairage

Pour Benedetto Bufalino, chaque œuvre est une nouvelle aventure à imaginer. Ici pour le quartier de Paris La Défense il décide de poser une voiture sur un lampadaire. La voiture, symbole de la modernité du xxe siècle, a été pendant toute une période un élément central des villes, occupant tout l’espace (routes, parkings...). La voiture est un objet essentiel dans l’œuvre de Bufalino.

So this is the picture that I've really wanted to take for the past few weeks, and I finally got everything lined up for it!

The vehicle is the same base as my previous picture, but in what I want to call the "Sentinel" configuration with the back changed out for a more armored module and a computer-assisted rocket launcher and machine gun combo on top so multiples of these can pretty much set up in a defensive position and hold their own against the enemy laying down some serious cover fire and firing off four rockets at a time. The rockets can be reloaded manually through the back.

The top of the tennis court net curtain that allows flexibility in court configuration. Closed during play, and open for easy access.

Triangles! Space triangles! But yeah... I built a little spaceship, went for the funky angular style again.

It took me a couple of days, and I'm by no means fully satisfied with it. But, I'm done with it. It was spawned by the engine configuration, and I'm pleased to have done my vision justice. It's a little unfinished and rough around the edges, but all the easily visible bits are done and I'm pleased with those.

I just finished reading Kristin Cashore's new book, "Bitterblue", and found it entertaining and thoughtful, with a wide range of interesting characters. This quote stuck with me. It's taken from a scene in which the Queen (Bitterblue), sits down to dinner with a few others, and on her mind is the topic of Po and Katsa's relationship, turbulent as it may be.

Bitterblue stabbed a mystery pie across the table with her fork and was delighted when it turned out to be made of winter squash. She pushed her plate closer and shoveled herself a generous portion. "It's just that while I'm sure I would like the making up, I don't think I have the heart for constant fighting," she said. "I think I might prefer something--more peaceful in execution."

"But people do, you know," said Bann, perhaps a bit slyly. "I wouldn't worry about them, Lady Queen, and I wouldn't worry about what it means. Every configuration of people is an entirely new universe unto itself."

Wise words, I think. Anyway, here's a scene from a recent hike up Silver Star Mountain... the light? Was incredible at this particular point in the trail. And I couldn't stop swooning over the wildflowers.

A robin in our back garden landing on the fork Rachel wasn't at that point using. This is not a Photoshop job!! (Well, beyond a crop, levels, slight sharpen.) I just happened to have the macro lens (f=105mm) on the camera, which helped.

After getting a few copies of Wrecking Ball, I knew I had to use some of the lovely sand green printed elements. Plus I’ve had these dark orange cement mixer shells for a bit, and thought they could tie in nicely for another Febrovery model. Then once getting those key elements into roughly this configuration, I basically just filled remaining gaps.

And of course added space for Hammond and another hamster friend in the cabin!

Has to have been one of my quickest builds in some time.

The Fokker Dr.I, often referred to simply as the Fokker triplane, was a World War I fighter aircraft designed by Dutch engineer Anthony Fokker. It gained fame as the aircraft of choice for German ace Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the "Red Baron." The triplane configuration, with three wings stacked vertically, gave the aircraft excellent maneuverability and climbing ability. It entered service in 1917 and quickly became renowned for its agility and performance in dogfights. However, production was limited, and it was eventually replaced by newer aircraft designs towards the end of World War I. Despite its relatively short operational history, the Fokker triplane remains an iconic symbol of early aviation and military aviation history.
