At last some cloud! Tried using my Reverse NDG here but it's pants....... don't buy one! Best seen LARGE or in My Flickeflu (Click the link below). Thanks for looking folks.
I found this hornet twitching on the pavement so though I'd do a studio stack with it at home.
197 images stacked in zerene stacker, Dmap retouched with Pmax. f2.8 aperture, last image stopped down to f8, 1/100 second, Sigma 150mm macro. Single flashgun diffused through paper and a reflector.
Probably my most ambitious stack so far. Took a whole day to prepare, shoot and process but well worth it.
Best viewed large!
Long exposure of 15 seconds of the stack near Thortonloch in Scotland. Taken before the loss of my ten stop.
Not the best angle / comp, but couldn't take this shot from anywhere else. Was standing on the arch to get this shot, so had very limited space/ angles. Couldn't even fully extend the tripod due to the width.
Luckily there was no wind otherwise I wouldn't of chanced it.
I began to use the focus stacking technique to increase depth of field in 2018, and this was one of my first attempts. It is a natural light shot of some of the Phottix equipment I use to take photographs in the studio with flash:
• in the foreground is a radio receiver I would use on a cobra flash without a built-in one, such as a Nikon SB–900 unit;
• then is the Odin II radio controller which goes on top of the camera, and is used to remotely set all Phottix monolights (i.e., studio strobes) and cobra flashes, as well as non–Phottix strobes equipped with a receiver. It is a wonderful little tool that works over hundreds of meters if need be and allows me to modify the settings on any strobes, assemble them into 5 different groups if needed, and of course fire them;
• and in the background is one of the batteries that powers the Indra500 monolights. Thus, they are completely portable and can be used anywhere in the field reliable and for a long time. It works with high–speed sync too, if necessary.
I see from my notes of 2018 that this is a composite shot made up of 7 focus-stacked exposures, taken with a 60mm macro lens at f/8 only. I would never have been able to obtain such a great depth of field without focus stacking, while operating the lens at its “sweet spot” aperture. The D850 has a focus stacking automatic feature built in, which saves a lot of time and effort, as one can dispense with focusing rails and minute manual adjustments.
The stack was processed in Zerene Stacker, which is the software I used at the beginning. I then moved on to Helicon Focus, which I still use today.
September 2025. I am reposting this photo as a testimony of gratitude to the Phottix flash equipment I used for many years with lots of satisfaction, in the studio and outdoors. It was not perfect, and certainly the Godox AD flashes I now use are not only more powerful (600 W/s) but above all more convenient, as they are true “monolights” with self-contained batteries that eliminate the need for battery packs and connecting cables. Nevertheless, the Phottix were with me when I began exploring the wonderful world of off-camera flash, and that is a memory I will retain for as long as I live.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - When I reached the High Park Lookout, these stacked-plate lenticular clouds were hovering above Bighorn Peak and Loaf Mountain. They took on a deep orange color after the sun went down.
On the drive to Killarney Provincial Park, we stopped by a chip wagon for some Poutine French Fries. (mmmm). The massive stack of full tree logs was taking over the scenery.

Few things make me happier than a pile of books. Except maybe two piles. Or more.
These are at the home of a good friend ~ The kind that gives you free rein to take pictures of their stuff.
In Chichester Cathedral..waiting to be set out for a service...
For the TSC group challenge ( over on Ipernity) 7th June..Your favourite song and picture that goes with it..well I seem to have a different favourite song every week..depending on my mood..where I am..etc etc..this week it is Re:Stacks by Bon Iver..I am playing it to death at every opportunity!..
Have not had a chance to get a new picture to go with it so this old one will have to do..
Here is a link to the song in case anyone wants to listen to it ..
I of course think it is wonderful but everyones tastes are different :))
We are riding on a legend in the intermodal world. Over the past 50 years, you could find these monster machines in the yards of most railroads across the country.
The PC90 was an intermodal loader built by FWD Wagner Company. Manufacturing began in the late 1960s. They can still be found loading and unloading trains today.
Today, the last container of UPS high priority freight is being set for pick up. After an inspection of the cars, the track will be released and the cars placed into a train.
It was awesome to ride this beast. The operator was a veteran at ITS and was very skilled. He precisely spotted containers on chassis and well cars. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this behind the scenes side of railroading.
The PC90 is a huge machine. It is much larger than the modern European built counterparts that are replacing them. When the operator opens the tucked in legs and spread them wide open. the PC90 resembles a Transformer. It's size seems to increase quite a bit. Let me tell you, Bumblebee has nothing on the PC90!
Stack Em!
The colourful second-hand U.S Bluebird school buses have been an integral part of the Panama public transport network for years but are becoming a rarer sight.
According to local media, with a new transport system being developed, the traditional Red Devils imported to Panama throughout the last 40 years are now disappearing and are only used for a few specific routes.
This example is quite under stated with its original paint scheme. Note the string of LED lights across the rear of the roof.
Those over the top stacks are connected to the exhaust system - they produce a loud deep growl like a wounded bear.

… of a Stack of Hats.
Yes, he really did balance them - at least for long enough to get the shot!

A stack of 4 slightly blurred (purposefully) shots, taken handheld. Autoaligned in the stacking process, then ungrouped. I think I was meant to crop at that point, but I really liked the resulting 'frames', so they stayed.
A combination of blend modes - a bit of glow, a bit more of screen - producing an intentionally (honest) contrasty image.

I made this time stack by combining 384 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
Two UP Stack trains meet in Traver, CA. This is a small town of about 700 people along the SR-99 "valley" corridor of the Central Valley of California. Traver is known for its grain exports.
Today these two stack trains waste no time blazing through town, even with an older Southern Pacific (now UP) loco second out on the Westbound (Compass North) train.
