Understanding the idea of shallow DOF when using macro lens but I still quite surprise when I was unable to focus both of these heads at f/8 since they look pretty much in the same focal length (to me).
So I decide to take this opportunity to test the technique which I've read but never tried before: focus stacking.
And here it's.
Quite happy with the result :-)
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.
Taken during a hike from the Lucin VORTAC to a center-pivot irrigation sprinkler 1.3 miles (2 km) south of there. Westbound Union Pacific stack train near Pigeon Mountain, Utah. It's moving from left to right.
I discovered the round irrigation pattern while surfing in Google Earth. Because the place seemed ill-suited for growing anything, I decided I had to see it. The fact that it's out in the middle of nowhere made it attractive.
Who built these mysterious stacks?

Stacks of Duncansby, Just east of John O'Groats. I was there on holiday, and decided to make the short trip along the cliffs to see the stacks, and the bowfiddle rock formation. The light was fading, which is why it was so noisy, and blowing a gale, but worth it in the end.

Had a black and white version of this but there is so much colour I couldn't pass this up. This was at a corner store in Madrid and the man was buying a pair of earrings for the woman next to him who was a prostitute. Cute
I'm enjoying drawing. It really helps me relax.
I don't have many photos to post because when I went out this past weekend I took my film camera, not my digital and I have to finish the roll of film and try to find someplace to develop it. Ah, the joys if film!!! Not.. :)
Happy Wednesday, all.
Down in Cornwall at the moment. Went to Zennor to find some water that I could try to smooth with an ND400 filter, but forgot to bring the correct step adapter. Doh! So I took about 20 regular shots at high speed and merged them. The camera was hand-propped on the railing of a bridge - so a little image re-alignment was needed (using Hugin) before the partial transparency merge. I just wish I had a slightly wider angle lens for this - which is now on my wishlist.
Sea stacks at sunset near Point of the Arches along the Olympic Coastline. I used a 30s exposure to smooth out the rough water.
Stack Rock Fort was constructed between 1850 and 1852 to protect the waterway. It was originally designed for two decks of artillery casements, but only the first floor was completed and used as a gun deck.
My second attempt at focus stacking. Twelve photos this time. I think it looks better, but still see room for much improvement.
I'm manually adjusting the focus for each shot. It ends up requiring some guesswork. I can see where a focus rail could be a lot more accurate.
