Pembrokeshire. Home to many guillemots, noisy ones too, and smelly with the wind in the right direction!
Sacred geometry inspired, original design, hand printed on black, brown, and coral velvet. Conceived, printed and sewn in Oakland, CA.
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.
Let me get that hair "TWISTED". Check out my FB page @A'Shique Stylez by Ladie A'Shique to see more of my work.
Here you can see what image stacking can do for you. Image stacking is the combining of multiple images shot with similar parameters (which is different than HDR which combines images of various exposure levels). In this case, look at how much more detail shows up in shadow areas, under the eaves and doorway, compared to the standard single exposure on the left. You can see details in the bricks and doorway that are seemingly not there in a single image. Even the shrubs look better. It does require some software, such as EasyHDR that produced the image on the right, but there may be some free options out there. The image on the left was processed with DXOptics.
Fun to play with when you have a bunch of shots such as from a burst series.
The aerosol stack for the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) stands ready to collect measurements during the second deployment of the AMF in Niamey, Niger.
From January 2006 – 2007, the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) supported the Radiative Atmospheric Divergence using AMF, GERB, and AMMA Stations (RADAGAST) field campaign conducted in Niamey, Niger. The purpose of the experiment was to study dust storms, specifically their impact on incoming solar energy and monsoon generation.

Mucking about with enfuse and align_image_stack, free tools that do image blending.
This image is a focus stack, meaning a set of images shot with narrow depth of field (50mm 1:1.4 in this case) but with the plane of focus changing rom front to back. Kind of like an exposure bracket, but with focus.
Softness in the result is unavoidable; it's the 'leftover' image from each out of focus frame.
I think this would work better with a longer focal length and/or a smaller aperture; f/1.4 may simply be too narrow. That's why I think the soft halos are so bad.
Still, an interesting trick to be able to call upon.

An interesting move for Saturday morning. X100 turns south at Deshler, bound for Cincinnati with a train of double stacks behind.
Some creative stacked pebble thingys I happened across on the rubble beach at Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto.
My first attempt at focus stacking. Hand held but ended up better than individual shots. Minolta 58mm f/1.2 MC Rokkor-PG with custom EF Canon Mount.
8 denim rugs woven for a customer totaling nearly 40 feet using old denim jeans. Instead of putting it in a landfill we found a new use for the denim.......just like my grandma did!
I wove these on her Union 36 Loom :0)
Focus stacked pond. 7 images. Focussing gradually going back in each image. I have been practising this for a few months and this is the first one that I am happy with.
Not sure my computer liked it - I ran out of scratch disk space and it crashed.
