I somehow linked my Stack Overflow account with my Stack Overflow account. By doing nothing. Awesome

Why in the world would a toaster manufacturer provide a setting that allow you to turn perfectly good bread into charcoal?
You should have seen the expression on Bernadette's face when I setup our toaster outside and proceeded to try all the different settings that the toaster had to offer, including the seldom used 6!. Don't panic, I have not gone totally crazy, and if you are are a design student at AUT University on the 14th you might find out the method behind my madness...
I've been working for a few months on a new project - macro photography.
Inspired by a few great macro photographers, I decided to purchase some new lens and other accessories in order to be able to take high magnification pictures like this.
The project is over now in terms of new equipment acquisitions, but the real challenge, the shooting itself, has just began.
After a few days and several attempts I finally succeeded to "create" my first high magnification picture.
This is a common fly (found lifeless on my window still and prepared in studio) shot at approximately 2.5x (2:1) magnification.
The picture is a stack made in Zerene Stacker from 38 different exposures.
It's far from being perfect and for a trained eye this is quite obvious, but considering that this is my first try I would say it's not to bad.
All the equipments used for taking this shot and other useful information are listed in the tag sections.

The South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey. It was built in 1809 to warn ships of the dangerous rocks below.

I've seen such stacks often when hiking to mark trails that are off the beaten path. But I never knew people did it for....fun?.....boredom?......art?.....because they can? Thanks to Google, I found out they are called cairns and date back hundreds of years. Over the years it has come to mean many things.
Probably needed much more exposure time in a dark sky location using an astro-modified camera with a nebula filter and a scope with clean mirrors! ‘Astrophotograhy for fun’ is my motto, so it matters not to me that this image of C11, the Bubble Nebula that I have made by stacking some shots that I captured yesterday evening is far from perfect😉 I did get to see a bright Leonid meteor zoom close by this target area (just a few seconds before the clouds arrived though!).

Taken in the afternoon so the sun would shine thru the white panels. Will be twice the width when I'm done!
