NS 1846 leads hotshot intermodal train NS 25A southbound through Arrowhead, Virginia along the NS Washington District.
This 65x5s stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are often the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 5.4 minute exposure, differing cloud height and cloud types resulted in different colors. Movement in cloud elements are noted by the rippled texture (streaking).
This stacked imaged ended just before the sun appeared above the roof of the foreground house.
First attempt at focus stacking!
I've been interested in macro photography of lately and I'm luckily in Italy at my parents' for the holidays. My father has got a couple of macro lenses lying around (this vintage Nikkor 60mm Micro AF-D f/2.8 and a Nikkor Micro DX 85mm f/3.5) and my teenage bedroom is packed with photogenic small items.
As a first attempt I then took 6 shots at this Porsche model and imported them into Photoshop. The only spot I'm not particularly happy with it's that part of bonnet at the base of the windscreen, plus the protruding ends of the back of the car. I really couldn't get them in focus well enough to make it work: especially those parts on the back, Photoshop took a shot focused on those as a shot of the background, which really messed the stack up. Had to get rid of it and make do with the remaining photos, so that's out of focus.
I'm really eager to learn more, especially given how we still pretty much live indoors, nowadays, and these are good subjects when there's no option to go in the field.
This was shot with the car on top of my Kobo e-reader and the camera on top of a couple of books, with the lens cap to prop the lens and tilt it up just enough to help the framing. Inventive, but I look forward to do this with my tripod 😂
I didn't really touch the file at all, so exposure, colour and everything else comes just out of saving the stacked RAWs into the final JPEG.
Sorry for the missing camera/lens/exposure info, I need to find a way to recover it (or re-write it) after Photoshop does its magic and spits out a file that obviously doesn't retain any of the original data.
Maybe one of the two lenses can come to the Netherlands with me for some more practice LOL
This here is a 9 image handheld focus stack of a tiny Aphid (Species unknown) using CombineZP, I hear you asking why CombineZP when you have just purchased Zerene?
Well it seems that when I add Kenko extension tubes to my MP-E, the resulting vignetting throws out the stack in Zerene Stacker, this is the only explanation I can find, if the image has no vignetting then the Zerene program works fine, the vignetting is caused by the Kenko extension tubes as they have not been designed for a ful frame sensor, I have included one of the stack images in comments to illustrate this. However, the stack worked fine in CombineZP, has anyone come across this issue in Zerene and if so are there any solutions?
I know I could buy other makes of extension tubes to overcome this or even use my 1.4x extender. I was wondering if there might be any Zerene settings that need adjusting? Oh and tried both PMax and DMap, DMap was a bit better, but I think the dark lines of the vignetting are confusing the program.

Cute little smoke stack sticking out of the little "Over the Blue" cafe where I had lunch outside in the little garden out the back.
Taking 100 x 2s frames from: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/48871130426/in/photost... at the height of the fire sky, I stacked them in Photoshop and used lighten to create this image.
Ns 4097 leads the 21T west toward Hardin Mo. 3 Ge's power this train down the joint trackage with the Bnsf. This shot has always been a favorite to me but as the years go on it's starting to get treed in. Sept 5,2020.
Running hot ahead of the Northstar Commuter train, these stacks hustle through the Anoka Northstar Station with a clear shot to St. Cloud.
Waited all summer for this I have!!
I've wanted to visit here since I first clapped eyes on the location a good few months ago now......but it's been just this mountain first or that mountain while the weathers' good, which to be fair I have appreciated and enjoyed even if the legs haven't.....
ironically had to ascend upwards a little to get here too - keeps me fit I suppose!
A test to shoot macros with an ordinary 85mm lens, coupled to a 35-mm Fotodiox Pro extension tube.
Composite shot made up of 35 focus-stacked exposures, set using the built-in function on the Nikon Z7. Stack processed with Helicon Focus.
Three wooden spools of thread stacked with a straight pin and buttons.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0. Background texture added in Photoshop.
Sorry for my recent inactivity; I have been quite busy, but here is something very different from the rest of my stream. I have recently been experimenting with high magnification macro. This first one is a portrait of a fly found on my desk. Magnification: about 8X, 100 stacked images.
Went out to catch the Falcon 9 Heavy launch. That li'l puff on the left. But all I got was this lousy stack XD
Resolution lens test with the Olympus OM Zuiko Auto Macro 38mm f/2.8 @f/4
Ratio 6:1
Stacked from 324 images, step length 0.005mm.
Sony A7R III, 42 MP
For me an excellent lens, it is sharp up to the corners.
Not bad for a lens from 1980.
A view of the disused chimney stack at Broadlie Works in Neilston. Taken from the back of the factory, which was formerly a bleach mill dating back to 1792, and then converted to a split leather tannery in 1947, the Clyde Leather Co Ltd.
Another bash at the slime mould eighty shot stack this time, trying for just a bit more depth of field. A bit hard when the top the the slime mould is abut the size of a pin head.
This fly was in our Staffordshire garden before. I don't recall seeing one like this before and sadly, didn't know what sort of fly it was. As I guessed, somebody soon came along and advised me (on Twitter as it happened).
This is a 9-image focus stack, combined using Zerene Stacker.
[Update: I've been advised that this is a robberfly; probably Dioctria baumhaueri.]
Running from Lincoln to the village of Harby in Nottinghamshire is a pleasant cycle path much used by cyclist and dog walkers. Where the path passes under the bridge carrying the B1190 road some two miles from Skellingthorpe, the same spot where I found the teddies, there are some tags painted on the underside of the bridge. This is one, another can be seen here.
Just a little tester shot to try out my new Nikkor 50mm F1.8G Lens.. Thought id try a little bokeh since every1 else is doing it lol
Hope You Enjoy!
When I arrived at this field the area was pitch black. When the sun's light first appeared, hay stacks dotted the landscape and were the first to greet me.
I finally found something that stayed still long enough for me to take several photos for a focus stack.
This is the first one I've tried with the mpe65 lens since I've had it.
It's 4 images taken at 2.5x and focus stacked using Zerene.
Not the best one you'll ever see, but hey, you gotta start somewhere :P
