18 stacked images using Photoshop CC. Reverse mounted Nikon 24mm f/2.8 no extension tubes. Dual Nikon SB-R200 flash heads. Insect size about 1 cm.
Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.
Rainroom by RedBlackProduction
Heya!
I had the idea recently of doing a Rainmeter theme based on Lightroom, as I really like the look of it's user interface. As I'm starting to get the hang of Rainmeter I feel compelled to add more and more information as I pick up bits and pieces! Bars and meters everywhere!!!! More functionality!!! At the same time I don't really like a cluttered look and I don't particularly want RSS feeds clamouring for my attention all the time . . So I thought maybe I could create a modular set of docks and have some buttons to switch them in and out as needed.
I've been using this setup for a while now and am really enjoying it's functionality, especially combined with Launchy, Standalone Stacks and CD Art Display. This is Rainroom in full flight, with all the modules active . . .
. . The black outer frame is always on and is meant to fade from the windows taskbar at the to the slightly transparent black at the bottom. On the bottom left is the module controller, in the center is currently a very familiar looking clock setup which is flanked by two small docks. These docks contain the folders I access 99% of the time! Left click opens the folder in explorer while right click launches a Standalone Stack. To the bottom right is a little Twitter input box! Utilising SendTweet by the talented Mr JSMorley, when it's clicked on it turns opaque and offers a text input for tweet tweet tweeting away . . . and it fits in seamlessly! I was thinking of using Taskkill.exe and making that little button on the bottom bottom right right kill Raininput, acting as a 'cancel tweet' button [for when I'm too lazy to use the keyboard :]
On the inner left is the CAD cradle module, ToDo list module [controlled by launchy :], and . . . well, something that wasn't finished in this sceenshot . . a Task Launcher module for a couple of tasks I run regularly: system maintenance scan, defrag, backup flash drive contents to pre-designated folder on hard drive etc.
On the inner right is the System Performance module, RSS reader module utilising a combined feed of my personal faves, Drives module incorporating histogram, activity lights and drive launcher, and finally a Twitter feed module . . .
You can see the five level of the lignite open pit with the stacker in foreground.

East and westbound BNSF stack trains fly through Naperville kicking up snow on a very cold Groundhog's Day in 2013.

All banana cake with some chocolate buttercream and some vanilla buttercream. All edible, including the note paper.
1st attempt at a stacked timelapse image folks a bit of mucking around but definitely a viable way of doing these shots.... :-)
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.
Stack Rocks or Elegug Stacks / Elegug comes from Heligog - guillemot in Welsh .
A Stack is formed, when an arch collapses , leaving its supporting pillars .
An important breeding site for thousands of Guillemots ( May- Mid July ) / Razorbills lower down the stack / a few Kittiwakes / Gulls .
Seabirds - Cormorants , Fulmar, various gulls, etc. - are also on nearby cliffs / the Stack of the Green Bridge / The Cauldron ( Flimston Castle ) .Choughs also breed along this section of coast.
Guillemots and Razorbills, are very obvious on the cliffs from early May until late July, although both make sporadic visits, normally during spells of settled weather, from early winter onwards. The chicks remain ashore for no more than 21 days after hatching. Better for the chicks to complete their fledging at sea than in the jostling cliff communes / 1.8 / 7069 / SR 926.945
The Green Bridge of Wales is nearby.
The path is at South Stack, and leads down from the car park to the RSPB bird watch hut. The RSPB site is open in the summer for free access, and you can use their good quality binoculars to view the nesting birds. In the summer you can also access the lighthouse and Island for a small fee. Cafe open in the summer. This picture was taken in Feb, so very few people around and everything was closed.
We like thick layers when we 3D-print!
We 3D-modelled a candy bowl and a stackable box to test 3D-printing objects using thick layers. Normally the diameter of a 3D-printer’s nozzle is 0.4 mm. We drilled this bore up to 1.0 mm - which allowed for more plastic flow and thicker layers.
The results are stronger objects and also an exaggeration of the step features of the layers. Surface smoothness is not so relevant for many objects and by making thick layers they can become a nice feature - specially for decorative.
You can download the STL files for our candy bowl and stacking box below.
I'm having a great time with the leftover stacked fabrics! I'm going to try the five in the picture on the lower right, using the ten degree ruler. The five quilt tops shown are the ones I used these fabrics in originally.
Not a whole lot of difference in the blocks, but enough that I think it made the stacking worthwhile :)
Haven't found anything today so thought I would upload an old stack attempt.
Tried on many occasions to get this to stack using CombineZp but it couldn't handle it , so tried Zerene Stacker on it tonight and it did a reasonable job.
I did not manage to get enough shots to focus all the legs and several are messed up.
Picture is a total of a 9 freehand shots , stacked and retouched in Zerene
It was quite a sight looking up at the scene on this rocky beach, rocks/large pebbles stacked right across the beach in towers.
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 shipping in the Irish Sea of the dangerous rocks below.
I'm so used to looking at the octagons made with a 3.5 inch strip, that these from the 3 inch strip look so cute! The geometrics make such neat patterns :)
Described rather well in the listed building report as "the best industrial chimney in Scotland". It's true. The Statement of Special Interest continues to list comparable structures in England - India Mill (Darwen), Saltaire, Manningham, Tower Works (Leeds), and then states "none match the exuberant decoration of Cox's stack."
I also like the entry in the bibliography: "every post 1860s guidebook to Dundee."
