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.

Railroad ties are stacked in a corner of a parking lot for the New London (Ohio) town reservoir as an eastbound CSX coal train passes in the background. I'm not sure why these ties were stacked here.
Looking back though the unprocessed archives, this image shows a boarded up bothy sitting at one end of Loch Stack in Sutherland, north west Scotland.
Stack of 5 sea urchins on a bed of sand.
I like the way the white dots on the different size urchins line up with each other.

I have been promoting noise reduction by stacking for years, but while I was able to recommend "Starry Landscape Stacker" for MAC users, there was no easy to use Software for Windows.
This has changed lately, with the release of SEQUATOR, a very easy to use program for stacking untracked nightscapes (for noise reduction) and the best of all: It is freeware!

So far, I have been using fitswork, a dedicated software for stacking tracked star images. While I learned to use it for untracked images as well, this process is painfully slow. It would therefore be immensely helpful if SEQUATOR was able to perform as beautifully as fitswork, without all the slow manual interventions needed…
Today, I was able to do my first test of SEQUATOR. To see how it performs, I did a side by side comparison with an image I already processed with fitswork.
First I had to find an untracked image sequence. I have been doing mainly tracked shots lately, but I found my Bisti Eggs image which I shot from a fixed tripod:
To get a meaningful comparison, I decided run SEQUATOR with the same preprocessed TIFFs I have used for stacking in fitswork and publish some 100% crops taken from the resulting TIFFs right out of SEQUATOR and fitswork and without further processing. SEQUATOR has several options for stacking, but I found that “Freeze Ground”, “Auto Brightness OFF” and “High Dynamic Range ON” worked best for me.
As you can see, SEQUATOR does an extremely nice job. There are no star trails and no stacking errors and I really like how the foreground and the horizon are razor sharp. Very impressive indeed!
On closer scrutiny, the SEQUATOR result has a tad more saturated colors than my fitswork resut, but selecting “High Dynamic Range ON” avoided burning the stars. The increased saturation leads to slightly increased color fringes around the brighter stars, but this would have happened with the fitswork image as well during post processing and there are techniques to reduce this effect during processing.
SEQUATOR is really easy to use and it took me less than 5 minutes to produce the result, while my normal workflow in fitswork takes about 3 hours to arrive at the same stage.
Conclusion:
I can highly recommend SEQUATOR! If I ever have to process an untracked image sequence again, I use SEQUATOR instead of my fitswork workflow.
On Windows, it is by far the easiest to use and fastest stacking software for nightscapes and produces very good results. Even beginners can immediately produce excellent results. There are no excuses anymore for noisy single shot nightsapes… ;-)
PS:
1. Of course I still highly recommend using a tracking mount to achieve “deeper” sky exposures, by using lower ISO and higher exposure times. This means that you have to shoot the foreground separately with your tracker off and merge the two exposures during post processing. For this techique SEQUATOR might not be the best software out there, but to stay fair, that is not what it was built for…
2. Here is a very nice quick tutorial for SEQUATOR. The only point where I disagree with Mike, is that for better sharpness and no burned highlights, I recommend to use HDR instead of Auto Brightness.
I shot this as a timelapse and stacked the images to show the variety of Siskiwit Bay, Lake Superior traffic. Try to find the swimmer!
The stack effect may have been sold better if I had more action in my frame, but also part of the charm of the south shore is the still very isolated beauty.
The South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales. It was built in 1809 to warn ships of the dangerous rocks below. The 91-foot tall lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander.

Sometimes after a tough day where everything you tried to do seemed to flounder or fail, just go back to your childhood. Lay back on the grass and simply look at the sky. Search for animal shapes or people's faces and let your troubles float away for awhile. (Rooster Rock State Park DSC_9790.jpg)

ANSH scavenger20 Stacked

While walking along Sunset Beach in Vancouver, I found a lot of rocks stacked up in a weird way. Some people said they're miniature inukshuk's, but they're kind of missing the arms and legs... But they were still very interesting none the less.
Anyway, I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get more of the sky and that warm light though.
Some work is going to begin on the powerlines it appears, these logs must be for a temporary roadway...or just a good background for a portrait photographer
