I photographed this wood stack on The Sleat Peninsula near Calligarry. The whole area used to be a big pine forest and all the trees had been cut down for timber, acres and acres of trees felled and piled up, it was quite sad to think that all these magnificent trees would be someone’s coffee table or bed frame next year. I really hope they plant more trees to replace them. We sneaked up the dirt track on a Sunday when none of the workers were around, really high up with an amazing view. When we passed the next day it was a hive of activity with loads of workers driving heavy plant machinery, and more trees falling. :-(
Sleat is a peninsula on the island of Skye in the Highland council area of Scotland, known as "the garden of Skye". It is the home of the clan MacDonald of Sleat. The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Sléibhte (or Slèite), which in turn comes from Old Norse sléttr (smooth, even), which well describes Sleat when considered in the surrounding context of the mainland, Skye and Rùm mountains that dominate the horizon all about Sleat.
Sleat is a traditional parish that has several communities and two major landowners (the Clan Donald Lands Trust and Eilean Iarmain Estate). Sleat Community Trust (Scottish Gaelic: Urras Coimhearsnachd Shlèite), the local development trust, has purchased the Skye Ferry Filling Station at Armadale and in common with many communities is investigating the options for renewable energy production. It also owns Sleat Renewables Ltd., a timber production company. In October 2007 the Trust hosted the Highlands and Islands Community Energy Company annual conference. Recently the final section of a new double-track road through Sleat to Broadford was finished. Most teenage school-children in Sleat attend Portree High School, where there is a hostel for those who live particularly far away.

Only in Utah you will find amazing stacked rocks with Ravens enjoying the view from above. Don't you wish you could fly.

Exhaust from a power plant stack literally lights up from the sun's rays early in the morning on a wintry December morning.
crystals on the inside of a 500ml round bottom flask. focus stack (in Photoshop) of 30 separate shots covering about 2 inches of depth.
My first attempt at focus stacking an image, this is 15 images stacked with photoshop
Happy enough with the general result as I can seen now what it is all about, don't know did I pick an image with too much detail or use too many images as there are quiet visible artefacts around the central stalks if the Lily. but it is all about learning for the next image
I was pleasantly surprised to see some traditionally stacked wheat yesterday - two large fields worth, a lot more hard work than a combine harvester... (although it could still be mechanised - just looks a lot nicer!)
There is a place down south of my way that those who know about it know where I took this photo. If you don't know where this is then perhaps just leave it be, I would hate to see a viewing platform full of six hundred point and shooters sharing the moment with me. As it is I had the location for the entire evening before and the next morning to myself at this place. The only evidence of movement there after I left in the evening and returned the next morning was a single set of footprints and two sets of paw prints.
This is a single frame shot against sunrise with the sky colors assisted by the DSE controlled burns going on in the area. There has been little enhancment and a lot of red taken out of the shot. I found that even though I shot at a neutral color temperature there was still a stack of red color cast that had to be taken out.
PS: To the abalone poachers that rolled up as I was walking out - F#$k you dirtbags.....
This 200x2s stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are one of the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 6.7 minute exposure, The brightest area is where the sun was rising.
So, today I did a quick indoor focus stack image using a bunch of dried roses I'd be saving for when I got a chance. Going in close has given a certain abstractness to it I think.
25 images shot as high quality jpeg, auto aligned and stacked in Photoshop, edited slightly in Lightroom for colour balance, light levels and curves, Cropped and exported to Photoshop for framing and logo/watermark.
Comments welcome!
A calm sea, low winds, and constant drizzle. As per the previous 'Coast' image , a short window of time to grab a few images with a lot of standing about waiting in between.

Showdown Challenge Theme #2 - triangles.
Mikul is back for a rematch. Please write "I vote for ..." in a comment on the photo you choose as winner. Unless you are voting for him, then just tell me how nice this beach is! ;)
My son Sam and his sister, Emma, joined me over a long weekend roadtrip to the north end of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Along the way, they both came up with triangle ideas and suggestions. But on our only good weather night I happened to be on Shi Shi Beach. Some of these sea stacks screamed TRIANGLE to me. Of course, the nice sunset doesn't hurt. LOL.
Here's Mikul's triangle photo. And please don't fall for his charm or underdog demeanour. He has tons of contacts and his photos get many, many views. Why? - because he has great skill at taking and processing images. I'm lucky to have him as a Flickr friend.

This is the panoramic view from Ben Stack looking north across Loch Stack to the huge shapely lump of gray Quartzite that is Arkle. To the left of Arkle is the legendary Foinaven, and you can just see the top of Ben Hope peeping over the skyline just right of centre. It was a moody and changeable day, but to be in such an empty landscape was truly memorable.
