...like 747 Heavies landing at O'Hare, these bees are attracted to the sugary solution in the hummingbird feeder for which it's meant. So far, no hummers. Not complaining though, since we suspect that the bees are far more endangered than those tiny birds, and without the bees, well, you know how that goes!
This is NOT a multiple exposure!
In case you didn't know: Bees produce honey by collecting nectar, a clear liquid consisting of nearly 80 percent water and complex sugars. The collecting bees store the nectar in a second stomach and return to the hive, where worker bees remove the nectar. The worker bees digest the raw nectar for about 30 minutes, using digestive enzymes to break down the complex sugars into simpler ones. Raw honey is then spread in empty honeycomb cells to dry, reducing its water content to less than 20 percent. When nectar is being processed, honey bees create a draft through the hive by fanning with their wings. When the honey has dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed (capped) with wax to preserve it.

Its Monday and for the first time in a long while I am doing a challenge for Monday Photo Challenges and Thursday Retreads. The challenge was
"Lets find some interesting views of piles or stacks of things. "

Well I thought it might be fun to have a stack of Willows (she who made me fall in the night with a thump on Saturday). I reckon I will not fall over this stack. of course you realize I could have done a stack of Chloe's or Ellas as well...........now there's a thought.
Have a good Monday
At 2AM, more thunderstorms moved through and woke me. So since I was up, I put in a fresh battery and kept the same setting from an earlier session then went back to sleep. This is what I captured. Five of the best compatible images were stacked and lightened in Photoshop.
The blue and orange discharge colors are part attenuation due to rain (acting like a filter) and part jpeg artifact.
Sunrise at Milang in South Australia.
Just after sunrise a fog/mist started to roll in across the lake.
I focused stacked 10 shots in the camera. not so much for the focus but to enhance/thicken the fog and mist. I think it did a good job of that but not so good with the moving reeds in the foreground.
The shape behind the jetty is a navigation marker.

This is one image in a series on the city at night–––the magic and lure of its lights, the mix of architectural styles, the resulting dynamic when framed with a portion of the purely functional parking decks which served as my shooting platform. In the end though, it is the light that drives these images, providing the visual magic and lure that is a city at night. To see more in the CITY LIGHTS series, check out my City Lights Album
Stacked layers of sarongs - souvenirs from a wonderful holiday in Bali, a few moons ago. They are so bright and pretty that I could never get rid of them.
Taken for todays (27-Jan-2018) Smile on Saturday 'stacked' theme.
Happy weekend everyone :-))

Me that is... I didn't even see the other little critter when I was taking the photos for this stack :P
Focus stacked using Zerene.
Natural light.
This might very well be my last Blue Banded Bee photo till next summer, they're getting very scarce now the weather is cooling down.
rosa Rettichhelmling illuminiert. Stack. Die Rettichhelmlinge findet man recht zahlreich im Mischwald am Boden. Sie gelten als hochgiftig. Ich finde sie aber ziemlich attraktiv. Schön auch, dass die Lamellen etwas Licht durchlassen.
I bought this lilac stem the other day, and its pleasant scent freshens the air in my kitchen. It's seen here in an 80-frame focus stack, blended with Helicon Focus.
Ostoma ferruginea, Trogossitidae
Size 9 mm
A different take on the species from the last post. This dead/prepared specimen was borrowed from a friend's collection.
This is was shot in the studio with darkfield style lighting (light coming from behind). See the comment section below for more info!

A few weeks ago I escaped to the Eastern Sierra to try to capture some of the fall color that was still happening this year. After spending some time north of the massive wall of smoke from the Creek Fire at June Lake, I decided that smoke or not I would check out the McGee Creek area. In the smoke, I drove up to see what I could see. I found some really fantastical light. The sunlight filtered through the thick smoke onto golden and even red aspen trees and cottonwoods at the peak of their fall splendor. Gradually I made my way up to the terminus of the road, where McGee creek gently flows along the parking area. I made a few dozen shots of the beautiful creek scenes and then something caught my eye in the creek itself. Pushed up against one of the rocks was an enormous stack of aspen leaves. I was mesmerized by it. I took various photos trying to capture a leaf adding to the stack by the current, and in different compositions. I pondered what the odds must be to form such a perfect pile, oriented perfectly in opposition to the flow. Golden leaves freed from this season’s labor by the wind landed in the creek and whisked by the scene. What were the odds that one would land onto the pile, I wondered. I watched many leaves bounce off the pile, and a few small ones joined the stack. I wished I had stayed longer but the choking smoke drove me away. In such a crazy year, it is a fantastical escape to just ponder a stack of golden leaves piled up by nothing more than the current in a creek.
The great windstorm of last fall left plenty of fallen wood for stockpiling in advance of the winter. Unlike last year, March has come in like the proverbial lamb with temps in the 30s, 40s, and now even 50s with bright sun causing a dramatic melt of the snow. Some of you have inquired as to the lake and it will be some time before the thick ice releases its grip. While there remains plenty of potential winter in the month ahead, this has been a most pleasant change from last year. Perhaps this pile will endure until next fall...
Just to keep things interesting, here is a photo of stacked lumber. This was like the tip of an iceberg as there were rows upon rows upon rows of these stacks, all the same height and as tall as trees! I've never seen lumber stacked like this and thought it was a great way to dry it out. The boards looked like 4x4 or maybe 6x6 boards. Hard to tell as my chauffer was not keen on slowing down much for photo ops! LOL
UPDATE: I did more research and found out these are stacked railroad ties! Interesting stuff. The Stella-Jones' treating facility in Goshen, VA of German-stacked, untreated ties
Another stacked mushroom.
No additional light, camera lying on ground.
Taken with Sony A-6000 (Sony ILCE-6000) and SEL-24F18Z as RAW. Converted to JPEG with LR 6 and Helicon.
Some of the most dramatic coastlines in Wales that you would ever come across is near the southern Pembrokeshire National Park from Castlemartin Range East to all the way to Govan's Head. Castlemartin Range East is the only one that is open to public subject to some Ordnance tests that happen from time to time. It is also the only route to get to the Green Bridge of Wales - A natural sea arch that is simply spectacular.
As you walk east from the Green Bridge, you would come across these two sea stacks. You can also see the Devil's Cauldron in the distance. There are a lot of other less prominent stacks till you reach Govan's head which is spectacular on its own. This has a 6 stop ND filter and a graduated ND filter. I also had used the UV filter to limit some of the haze but as the sun was setting in the other side, I could not get rid of em all...
Thanks for viewing and have a nice day!
This 96x5s interval stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Intense fire sky displays can yield the most interesting stacked images. In this equivalent 8 minutes elapsed time, the start through the end of the fire sky is depicted.

I was quite happy with the way this time stack turned out, since I was rather unimpressed with this sunset. That's why I have a "stack 'em all" approach to time stacking. You never really know what you're going to get.
I'm almost exactly 1 year behind in posting photos online. I shot this timelapse on March 18, 2019, and it's interesting to see the difference in weather via the lake. In this shot from last year, it's completely frozen over, but today it's mostly open water. (I didn't even get to go on the lake this winter because it never seemed safe, but I'm also extra cautious and usually wait until it could hold a car, just to be sure)

I made this time stack by combining 238 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
This is from the rock stacking festival. So, they were doing more than stacking rock. ..lol..Who knew I would find a bench at the rock stacking festival..;) I know you're laughing..;) Anyway, I had a great time. Got a little sunburned. I put some lotion on but I may have waited too long to put it on.
