A former Burlington Northern Innovative Intermodal Service Gunderson Maxi I "Twin Pack" (Econo Stack / Twin Stack) set brings up the rear on this bare table on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. Now marked for the Northern Oklahoma Lines as NOKL 250025.
Contraption for handheld and fast stacking in the field.
Of course only for insects that are not skittish ....
The support where the insect sits does not have to be cut, but in many cases I cut it off. If the insect doesn't buzz off after cutting, you're likely to have a good chance of getting the stack made.
The left hand (1) holds the specimen (4) and rests on a metal tube (3), recovered from an old tripod, about 27cm long. The metal tube slides neatly over a metal rod (2). The rod (2) is 27cm long, sits about 6.5cm under the camera base, 1cm outside its left side and is firmly fixed under the camera (stuff from Wondlan). A second rod (5) carries a ‘magic arm’ with diffusor (6) over the specimen (absolutely needed in bright sunlight).
Shifting the subject goes as follows: i hold the subject in my left hand, between index and thumb. While shifting the subject through the focal plane, my left hand rests on the sliding tube. So left hand and black tube slide together over rod 2. This helps to gain full control over lateral movements that could destroy the composition. It also helps to make steadier - regular shifts.
It didn't take much exercise and this slider is a great help. However, it does add wheight to the camera, but it's a winner since this method doesn't require the need for much heavier tripods and sliding plate, etcetera.
A small rod (7) is placed under the contraption and serves as monopod (12cm); it gives better support to the camera by resting it on the right knee or any other support available.

Before you start hunting it is best to train all this on a static subject.
It's also good to have all the camera settings right before bringing the subject in front of the lens. Usually camera settings are like this:
a) The camera is set to continuous shooting, the highest frame rate. The more the better. The Sony A6300 (or A6500) has 11fr/sec, the Sony A7R5 has 10fr/sec.
b) while pressing the button, the specimen is shifted through the focal plane. Because of this movement, you need to use shutter priority and set it to at least 1/160sec or even faster (if light allows). You can also use aperture priority, but then keep an eye on the shutter speed, it should be faster than 1/160sec.
c) With the Sony A6300, A6500 or A7R5 an ISO setting between 200 to 400 gives excellent jpegs. I only shift it higher than 100 if necessary, so only when the resulting aperture is too low 2.8
d) in general i try to get an aperture around f5 and exposure compensation at -0,7 to -1.
e) I shoot with the highest jpeg, and i am only interested in stacks with images of 6000x4000px. Usually the A6300's buffer fills up after 60 images. This means that a complete shift/stack with the A6300 needs to be made in less than 5 seconds. Which is perfectly possible. With the A6500 or A7R5 this is not a problem, the buffer is big enough.
f) So far I have used this technique with the Canon's 100mm & 60mm macro, and also with Sony's FE90mm macro and the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X macro APO.

Stacked [Whatever] Block. I say [Whatever] because it could be so many different things. Bolts of fabric, books, bricks... Of course turning it sideways gives you a whole slew of new choices! You can read more and find the tutorial to download over here.
South Stack (Welsh: Ynys Lawd) is an island situated just off Holy Island on the North West coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses.
When the weather is clear you can make out Ireland as well as the Isle of Man.
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. Permission was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock marking a tiny islet off Anglesey at the north west tip of Wales.
The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Height of Tower: 28 m
Height of light above Mean High Water: 60 m
The historic South Stack Lighthouse is located on a small island reached via a descent of 400 steps down the steep mainland cliffs. South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea.

The stacks off the coast of Vik in southern Iceland are very picturesque. I used a big zoom to try to capture the power of the massive waves breaking on the beach.

Stack of 7 images captured after today's rain from my HONOR 3C
camera fv 5, camera app for android, is used which i found to be the best when it comes to the manual controls.. with some limitations of course.
in long exposure mode, maximum res available is 0.9 pixel which is 10 % of the actual camera power.

This is the first time I've done a focus stack that hasn't involved a macro lens and tiny fungi or lichen, but I really liked this moss covered root reaching out to the world and I happened to have my tripod with me for once, so I thought I'd give it a quick go. It was too cold to hang around for long though.
For Iron Photographer 238 where the elements are
1 - a stack of three things
2 - one red thing
3 - cinematic aspect ratio
Hope I've got this correct having my red thing atop the stack of three things?
A timelapse of the sunset over the partially frozen Little Cranberry Lake.
I'm not sure if I ran out of space on my SD card, or if my batteries died, but either way, I wasn't fully prepared for this timelapse, because I missed the end of the sunset.
I couldn't think of a decent title that I haven't used already, so I went with generic numbering, and I'm kind of surprised I haven't made it past 1000 time stacks yet, but I guess it's because not all timelapse work well for stacking.

I made this time stack by combining 239 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
