Vintage ones from ebay of course. Need to source some 127 film for the older Brownies; the oldest Brownies are buggered. I sneaked in my ETRSi, MTL and Lomos. Thanks to JT for the photo and the notes. You trainspotter.
From I-84 Westbound, this is the partially used stack interchange carrying traffic to/from CT-9. Originally, ConnDOT had proposed to build CT-9 north of Farmington and would have been I-291, a proposed bypass of Hartford. For more information, visit www.kurumi.com/roads/ct/xc-stack.html. The picture here is my own, the one on the linked web page was taken by its creator (notice how mine has a shadow from the EzPass thing).

The Asarco smokestacks, idle for years, were the tallest in Texas. They had been for decades an El Paso landmark. The one at left was 612 feet (184 m) tall and the one at right, further away, was 828 feet (248 m) tall.
Both stacks were demolished with explosives on April 13, 2013. View from the entrance to the Asarco site.
Because of time constraints at work, I haven't had time to do any KAP recently, or much of any non work-related photography at all. Friday morning I had about half an hour before things got rolling, and rather than catch up on the weeks of email I've missed, I grabbed my camera and headed into the optics lab.
This isn't my first foray into Z-stacking, but it's not a technique I've used for some time. A while back I upgraded CHDK on all the cards I use in my A650IS. The upgrade didn't affect any of the scripts I use for KAP, but when I tried the Universal Bracket Script, I found it to be almost random in the changes it would make between images. A couple of weeks ago I made a slight change in the script (a 5us delay before each simulated button click), but didn't have a chance to test it until Friday.
The change worked like a charm. The Universal Bracket Script changed focus positions like clockwork, and returned to the same starting position each time. I have some changes to make to one other script I use (or used to use), and I'll declare the upgrade done.
The top image was made using 31 exposures at f/5.6 at a range of focus positions. Combine-ZP was used to pick the sharpest part of each image and combine them into a single frame. For this application Combine-ZP worked flawlessly. No further editing required.
The lower image was done using the same technique: 31 exposures, f/5.6, Combine-ZP. But because of the highlights present in this one, there are some oddball color flares in some parts of the image. (View large to see these.) Combine-ZP really has a hard time with the combination of blown out highlights and chromatic aberration. I may re-run this one after trying to remove CA with PTLens.
In any case it's good to have Universal Bracketing back!
I must say I listen to music whenever I can and in fact I still have a few of my old CDs lying around!

Thanks 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.
Messing around with focus stacking in Photoshop (manually). This is from four photos. It looks like it's going to take some practice...
Comet Lulin will make its closest approach to Earth on February 24, and while it will probably be hard to see with the naked eye, astronomers think the "fresh" new comet has the potential to brighten rapidly, to do something unexpected. Comet Lulin is arriving from the far reaches of the solar system on a nearly parabolic orbit, as if it come from infinity.
The comet's orbit is in nearly the same plane as Earth's but is traveling in the opposite direction. This causes Lulin to appear to move unusually fast and display a rare anti-tail—an optical effect that creates a secondary "tail" pointing toward the sun.
Pictures from non light polluted sites already showing Lulin's rare anti-tail.

Former Adirondack Power and Light plant at Amsterdam, NY on the Erie Canal just upstream of lock E10. The canal follows the Mohawk River here.
As a teen, I traveled the Erie Canal and was fascinated by this plant as we passed on the boat. That was in the late 70's and it was not in use then ether. The 1923 edition of Babcock & Wilcox "Steam, Its Generation and Use" shows an earlier version of the plant consisting of 2 stacks and ending at the third window from the water intake house.
Photographed using a NIkon f with a Nikkor 80-400 VR lens (no, the VR does not work on the F :) Exposure by sunny 16.
Looking at the books during a party held the day before the grand (general public) opening of the Minneapolis Public Library. This party was for the Friends of the Library -- people who donated money toward the project. Man! What a great party! Drinks, food, live music. It was a fantastic evening.

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.
