South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
These are a set of boxes I made for my company as part of a new business pitch. Laser cut boxes with 3d printed gimbals inside
Chad got that terrible cold that's been going around. I suffered it too, about a week ago, even being sent home from work two days in a row for being such a "feeb" (as Lisa called me). Sucked! I am never sick! Like seriously, only once every 2 years!
Poor Chad, he was coughing so much last night. But he was keeping me awake so I had to go sleep on the daybed in the front bedroom at 2:30am. Here are all the pillows stacked up out of the way.
Stack of Pelicans. Pacific Ocean Coast, California. May 15, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A vertical column of pelicans stacked one above the other along the Pacific Ocean coastline of California.
On a slow night this week - while waiting for a new hard drive to get backed up - I want back through some more raw files from the first half of 2010. Almost invariably, when I go back through older collections of images I find at least a few things that seem interesting to me know even though they didn't really register at the time I shot them
I have previously shared some other photographs of these magnificent Pacific Coast birds that I made on this mid-May evening along the Pacific Coast Highway north of Santa Cruz, shooting from a bluff locations that I often return to. At this particular spot, when the conditions are just right, birds coming north up the coast and coasting on updrafts along the cliffs often climb toward the top of the bluff and frequently turn inland a bit right here as they come around an outcropping. That is what happened with these pelicans, who were coming almost towards me and were flying below my position on top of the bluff, creating what looks like a vertical stack of birds. How thoughtful of them to line up so that they fit perfectly within a 3:2 ratio portrait orientation frame! :-)

Largish springtail - Orchesella villosa (~4mm), on the underside of a piece of bark. I leave these bark strips out to attract them.
Eighteen images (at F6.3), combined with Zerene Stacker. Worked quite well, except for rear end.
Canon 1D3 + MP-E 65mm Macro (at around x2.5) + MT24-EX Flash (-2/3 FEC). I should have used a slightly lower magnification really, to get better "framing".

Behind the scenes tour of the NYPL main research library. Books are shelved by size, and then according to a special sooper secret order that only the NYPL knows. Fun tour.
Guide said it was OK to take pics, securiity guard, on the other hand, had different instructions.
nothing is more satsifying than a stack of bowls...especially when you've made them your self.

sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.
It's snowing today so I am staying in and playing with a newly made light tent.
Strobist Info: Taken in a home made light box. SB800 right SB 600 left, both at about 1/64 power. The light box is made of PVC and white ripstop nylon.
Genius. The fries were cut into blocks and stacked with Pont-Neuf and covered in a red wine based "sauce brune".
I can never have a normal poutine again. ;)
Aside:
you know the place is busy when... the busboy, in the depths of the (behind the bar) kitchen just remarked "i think the cd is skipping".. and everyone realises we've been listening to Ella sing the same 2 bars for the last half hour. :)
