I posed a question on the blog today, asking what you like to see in the "basics" chapters of quilt books. I'd love to know if you'd care to take the time to let me know! Blogged.
This is Oliver painstakingly stacking and unstacking his stacking toy, riht after he learned how to use it, at about 10 months.
First session of Focus Stacking using free download Combine ZP. Doesn't seem to work with RAW files, so shot this in jpeg. There is unpleasant fringing, some of which I've removed. I got better results from shooting in RAW and then converting to jpeg: very time consuming. Equipment: Nikon D300, Nikkor 50mm manual lens, manual extension tubes. Lighting: 1 LED torch. Considering the basic equipment used, I'm pleased with this first effort.
Focus stacked in Element 12 with plug-in.
using two images should have been 3 as mid ground is not sharp. Still its a economic way to get focus tacking in Photoshop Elements. using smart phone to control camera on low tripod. with out having to get on my knees I could adjust position of camera on tripod looking at phone screen.
The concept of stacking two twisted is also possible for hexagonal twists. This is one molecule.

When I come home with groceries I sometimes leave them for my son to unpack. His idea of unpacking is to stack up as many items as he can before they all fall over. He doesn't consider putting them in cupboards to be part of the job!
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #20 - Stacked. I came back to the kitchen and found Natasha posed next to the stack. I don't know if she realized the cat food was at the top of it or not!
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.

I wold love to acknoledge the person who stacked the coins and took the photo, however, I don't know who he or she is. So thank you to you. Love the shot.

He spent his early childhood in Adria and Rome, becoming fluent in French and Italian at an early age, and did not learn English until returning to Los Angeles when he was seven. He took some drama courses at the University of Southern California, where he played on the polo team. Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy were family friends who often took him hunting and fishing.

He said about his role in The Untouchables: “Well, I come from a military family. Whether it's the country or city, I never liked the bad guy. I never put my arms around John Gotti, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano. For me, very simply they were the bad guys. And when I did The Untouchables, I told them going in, ‘If you try apologizing for any of these crumb bums, get someone else to play the part.’.” He also said: “As a matter of national survival, we need to do the best we can to sponsor the good guys and to do something active about bringing down the bad guys.” In a 1998 interview with The Associated Press, he said: "Somebody once said, ‘You really think you're Eliot Ness.' No, I don't think I'm Ness, but I sure as hell know I'm not Al Capone.' "
He underwent radiation therapy for prostate cancer in October 2002 and died of heart failure on May 14, 2003 at the age of 84. He and his wife, Rosemarie, had been married for 47 years at the time of his death.
He was an actor who didn’t take life in Hollywood too seriously. He said: "It's all malarky; even the wonderful part is malarky”. In life, and in the business, he was a nice guy and a professional, who followed the advice Clark Cable gave him when he was first starting out: “You're gonna be one thing: A pro. Show up on time, know your lines. ... And if you ever become a thing called a celebrity - a word I hate - if you ever do, and you use that power to push people around, I'm gonna kick you right in the (expletive)."
A stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, isolated by erosion. Stacks are formed through processes of coastal geomorphology, which are entirely natural. Time, wind, and water are the only factors involved in the formation of a stack. They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island. Without the constant presence of water, stacks also form when a natural arch collapses under gravity, due to sub-aerial processes like wind erosion. Stacks can provide important nesting locations for seabirds, and many are popular for rock climbing.
Stacks typically form in horizontally-bedded sedimentary or volcanic rocks, particularly on limestone cliffs. These rock types medium hardness means medium resistance to abrasive and attritive erosion. A more resistant layer may form a capstone. (Cliffs with weaker rock - such as clay - tend to slump and erode too quickly to form stacks, while harder rocks such as granite erode in different ways)
The formation process usually begins when the sea attacks small cracks in a headland and opens them. The cracks then gradually get larger and turn into a small cave. When the cave wears through the headland, an arch forms. Further erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast - the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump. This stump usually forms a small rock island, low enough for a high tide to submerge.
You know, it must be something about this 18-25 age range that makes people want to stack things like this. This particular achievement was a collaborative effort between Monty and myself.

The Garfield Smelter Stack is the tallest free-standing structure west of the Mississippi River, the fourth tallest smokestack in the world and the forty-third tallest free-standing structure on earth. It is the only operating smelter chimney left in Utah - Wikipedia.

Seeing as I'm currently confined indoors with a potentially fatal dose of man flu I thought I'd have a go at a couple of photo stacks.
This one was about 80 photos done with a £30 focus rail from e-bay a Sigma 105mm and Raynox 250
Some time ago I built a wooden flexure stage because I wanted to take focus-stacked macro photos. Originally the contraption was meant to be operated manually, but last week Sophia automated the thing as part of a homework project for her high school electronics class. An Arduino microcontroller drives a motor that advances the stage towards the camera in tiny steps, and a relay that triggers the camera. The size and the number of steps, and how much time the camera needs between steps to take a picture, are entered via an infrared remote control.

Up until now, all of my deep focus stacks have been done entirely, fully, PAINFULLY by hand. Entirely manual.
After getting hit in the face about a thousand times with the flash unit, I decided it would be better for my sanity to invest some R&D time into an autostacker. 12 hours (and no sleep) later the entire unit and its software is written and running very smoothly.
Please stand by while comzine ZM stacks the latest 150 image stack -- done entirely hands free!

I found this little dude (3.5mm) grazing on a stone wall at Wollaton on Friday, it was hardly moving and I managed a whopping 2 image focus stack, saying that it does make a difference, better details on the main body and an antennae in focus.
I kind of liked the patterns on this ones body, there are a few colour variations in these guys, from dark red, to red and orange and I have even found a light orange variety, see comments. This colour pattern on the main image is commonly known as Variant 1 :o)
