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.
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.

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.

Yes, he really did balance them - at least for long enough to get the shot!

This is the Michican City Generating Station. The 3 stacks are on a disused portion of the plant. The active boiler house is on the right out of the photo. Photographed from atop a dune in Washington Park at night.
Photographed on Kodak Vision 3 5219 motion picture film using a NIkon F with the FTN finder and the Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 lens. Developed in the Kodak ECN-2 chemistry formulated from raw materials.
Part of my de-stressing regime - baking a whole stack of banana walnut chocolate chip and oats cookies!
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.
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.

This stack has been landmark of my whole life. It's a refinery stack that juts out of the Imperial Oil refinery on the river. It does something in relation to aircraft petroleum (something probably not good). I've used it as a wayfinding reference drunk as a teen, and on more sober adventures, on and off, as an adult.
Clouds stacked in orton
These clouds were taken in from my home, here in West Richland, Washington. My mom & I seen these on our walk, they were quite beautiful and unique.
Top Dad equals one or two biscuits - well, maybe just three!
Our Daily Challenge ~ STACK .....
Thanks, in advance, to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
South Stack lighthouse is located on a rocky islet off the east coast of Anglesey, north Wales. It was built in 1809, and is 28 metres tall, standing about 60 metres overall above sea level.
The lighthouse can be visited, but only by descending - and the ascending - the 400 steps down the steep cliff face. The surrounding cliffs are used by thousands of sea birds, particularly guillemots, as nesting sites.
Part of the presidio, the building in the foreground is Fort Point. Construction began in 1853 at the height of California’s Gold Rush, the fort was later used in the Civil War, then again in World War II, had a cameo in Hitchcock’s Vertigo in 1958, ultimately becoming a National Historic Park in 1970.
The south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge was raised above it in the 1930's, sharing the same promitory on the south shore of the Golden Gate Strait.
