mmmmm, yummy! fabric stack for the quilt you can see partially constructed behind it. Quilt is the 9 Patch Trellis quilt by Oh Fransson!
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
another neat trick from the magic lantern firmware replacement.
focus stacking.
I couldn't get this to work at first, but it turns out that you have to have the camera in live view before the feature will activate. I never would have persevered, but one of my flickr contacts got it to work, so I knew it must be possible. it's always easier to figure out something you know is possible.
this is about 42 exposures processed through Helicon Focus. it's a pretty nice program that comes with a 30 full feature trial. I think it's about $50 to buy, and I'd think about it.
I used a 100mm f2.8 canon macro lens and focused it in front of the coin and then stepped through the focus range until just past the coin. not sure if it's a feature or a side effect, but helicon seems to have picked out the subject and left some blur on the background, including a 'frame' of sorts around the whole image (which I cropped out)(but you can still see some of the blur behind the coin).
Stacks on! Here's one of the girls from Nicky's pod wrestling with two other dolphins during courtship. These guys aren't shy about mating, they'll do it anywhere... orgy's are always fun... and you gotta have an audience!

Diesen Tannenzapfen habe ich im Fokus Stack Verfahren aus 10 Bildern zusammen gesetzt. Der Fokus wurde dabei mit jeder Aufnahme ca 1mm verschoben, bis der gesamte Zapfen "abgescannt" wurde. Mit Photoshop habe ich dann die Einzelbilder zu einem Bild überblendet.
This Picture was created by using the Focus stack principle. 10 Pictures has been shot. Each of them with a very little different Focus. All of them are put together by using Photoshop.

Cast Iron pans for making small loaves of cornbread. I originally shot this for the Macro Monday group but selected the previous two images to post there. I suppose that makes this the runner-up.

After a wonderful indoor picnic (lots of good food (the Beef BBQ sandwiches were killer!) and great company), We drove to Miami to catch the skyline and fireworks... there we found more Flickr friends and lots of independent fireworks masters... so the atmosphere was smokey from the get-go. I thought I had gotten some pretty good images, most were obscured or partially so by the smoke... I never have much luck (poor fireworks skills) Sigh.... so much to learn!! Should have incorporated more water for reflections, and don't really know how to get the smoke out without messing up the rest of the image... Oh, well, live and learn! Any pointers would be welcome...
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.

West
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 to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. 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.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
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.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.

This one is three separate boxes that stack on top of each other to make a trinket box tower of sorts :-) Each box is 85 mm (3.5") diameter by 45 mm (1.8") deep. The top two boxes each have a foot ring that sits inside the previous box preventing them from sliding about. The bottom box has a flat base which is why it appears shorter in the third pic. Overall height when stacked, including the lid is 155 mm (6.1"). The shiny finish is achieved with liquid Kato, a method taught to me by Debbie Crothers.
Working have been cutting up these rails, which are piled up next to the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern west of Vermilion, Ohio.
in this view of the gold and black plume agate, you can see the end from where I took off the polished nub I first uploaded the photograph of on Dec. 22nd. On the damaged, outside edge, I had spotted the faint outline of a plume-like structure, which is why I decided to pick it up and keep it. It certainly was not a very pretty or impressive looking specimen, but I just had a feeling it might be something good.
