I managed to resist the urge to chase the autorack train and hold on for another chance. It wasn't terribly long before the stack train I'd seen at Laurel made an appearance. Pleased to have this shot in the bag I elected to go west with this train for more sets as we both traveled deeper into MRL country. August 29, 2023.
Stack of 53 pictures at 100 microns steps.
Basic setup at 4x with stacked 100mm and reversed 28mm at f8.

This is my first attempt at focus stacking so there are a few inconsistencies in the focus but otherwise it's a great picture!
I occasionally go back to edit photos that I have taken in the past; this was from November 2012. This composite image used a photo stacking (or layering) technique in Photoshop. I call it cloud stacking. I used thirty images where only the clouds were in motion during two and a half minutes. Just after sunset, the bottom of the clouds were lit by a break in the clouds at the horizon. These thirty images were selected from the total sequence of 300.
For a couple who both recently graduated with English and writing degrees. They wanted a stack of books cake because they enjoy watching all of the extreme cake shows. It turned out much bigger than I imagined.
Thank you Kim (sugarygoodness) for helping me!
First thing I thought of when I saw that this week's theme was stacked! Big thanks to my yoga buddies for helping out :0)
Thin flexicover books stacked on top of each other and reflecting on the shiny black surface of the table. Each one has a different color. They are not aligned on neither side. There's a bright light source coming from the left side of the image.
Focus stacked over 10 images of a plant. I had to do it manually because the object was fairly complicated in it's geometry. It didn't turn out very well, the edges are soft and not very apparent but it is what it is.
Stacks complete with their guillemot colonies . Seven of us trying to get the edge (well nearer the edge) on the others. Hope you guys enjoyed the evening as much as I did.
Mount Isa Mines. I worked in nearly every part of the mines. Some good some not so good! The people I work with were the best part of the mines. Solid hard working family people. Good memories. I have heard a lot of stories about boozing and fighting, funny I never saw any of that!
A few days after I made this stack I received an email from Lancaster University asking me if I would enter something for their 'Experimentality' exhibition. They had asked me several weeks before that but I couldn't think of anything that would fit the theme and so I put it to the back of my mind.
This latest email came within a couple of days of the closing date and when I thought about it I reckoned the stills from this video would fit the experimentality theme as I realised that I hadn't witnessed or tried to witness the demise or collapse of a sculpture in such a way before.
So I took the ten stills that make up this timelapse and made them into a single picture, entered it and was very pleased to be chosen. (I am saving the actual picture for an upcoming book as it looks quite cool).
Quite a bit of luck was involved in capturing the stills for that video. I had not planned it and just gave it a go not expecting very much at all. The results were quite good
and now the exhibition has finished, the gallery has given me the printed picture and I have spent some time looking at it. I like the sculptural quality of each shot as it moves from its equlibrium point and gradually collapses from frame to frame (although this all happens in less than a second).
And so this accident of discovery spurred me on to get out there today and try again. Another thing I often find with my art is my first go is the best and that is why I rarely repeat the same sculpture but move onto something new. My first try always looks more fresh to me and so it was with these new attempts at playing with gravity. The pebbles on top of the pagoda stack all balanced the first time quite easily. In that incarnation they also looked the most symmetrical and elegant. Yet when I tried to knock it over I only succeeded in knocking the top off (as shown in this timelapse) and had to rebuild the balanced pebbles at the top. And this took a frustrating age... You may notice that single shot of each sculpture is different to the timelapses or composites and that is because I got each one 'right' first time but had to rebuild them again to collapse them, but each rebuild did not have the form of the original.
Why does it come so easily the first time only for it to be painfully difficult the second? I have experienced this so many times but cannot write it off as coincidental.
I tried several more stacks and attempted to capture each demise. A couple of times the wind beat me to it but after learning how best to collapse and capture each stack it left me bemused how the collapse of the temple stack was so perfectly captured and yet I didn't know what I was after and didn't try to do anything in a particular way. I call it the art of slack or following the line of least resistance. When I try to achieve something I often fail, when I just do without expectation I am often much more successful. Why? I don't know, but it seems to work for me.
You might think the second frame is the same as the first, but if you look closely you will see that the shadow of the thrown stone is coming in from the left.
Here comes an eastbound stack train in Chesterton, Indiana, on the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern.
well, this is sort of how I built one from an old CD drive, superglue and some other bits...
Arduino Uno board (the blue thing)
stepper motor driver TB6612FNG (the green thing surrounded by wires)
guts of CD drive
old stepper motor
external 7.5V PSU
held together with breadboard until I do something better with the wires...
some programming (arduino and PC)
Canon SDK (free but need to register) to control camera in sequence
and that's about it
There's a few photos below, followed by a more detailed explanation of joining it all together
If you do want to have a go at building something like this then I'm happy to answer any questions, but you are responsible for checking the pinout connections and appropriate electrical ratings to ensure that all components are suitable - in other words if you blow anything up then it's not my fault - the following aren't comprehensive instructions

The Garfield Smelter Stack is the tallest free-standing structure west of the Mississippi River, the fourth tallest smokestack in the world and the forty-third tallest free-standing structure on earth. It is the only operating smelter chimney left in Utah - Wikipedia.
