The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Stack". This is a "stack" of fishing lure jacket patches.

These termite mounds are only a few minutes from my Dundee Beach block in the Northern Territory of Australia. I captured this image using the focus stacking app on my Nikon D850, it consists of 17 images that I rendered using Helicon Focus 7 software.

This sea stack is at Downpatrick Head, County Mayo and is on the Wild Atlantic Way. We drove part of this route last week and will be going back for more in the not too distant future.

Macro Mondays ~ Mostly White

...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.

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.

Happy weekend everyone :-))

I took a trip out to Shell Creek Road to checkout the wildflowers. They are better than last year but I picked a time of day when the wind was terrible - meaning the flowers were blowing around. So, I decided to use a lower f-stop to allow for a fast shutter speed, which narrowed my DOF considerably. This shot was a blending of 5 images using Focus Stacking.

Uno de los insectos más interesantes que existen. Son depredadores. Se alimentan de otros insectos y han evolucionado para hacerlo llegando a ser extremadamente rápidos, tanto en el aire como en el suelo. Vuelan como una avispa con un despegue vertical y maniobran a la velocidad del rayo. Pero son más fáciles de detectar cuando se mueven por el suelo, donde su velocidad los distingue de los otros insectos. Se alimentan de casi todo lo que pueden ver y atrapar, incluidos los invertebrados que pueden ser más grandes que ellos.

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.

A wide-field image of the region of Perseus and Taurus from the pink California Nebula (NGC 1499) at top, to the blue Pleiades star cluster (M45) at bottom. In between and surrounding the main bright objects are many tendrils of interstellar dust clouds, varying in shades of brown and pale blue.

Around the Pleiades the faint clouds reflect some of the blue light of the young stars, but away from the Pleiades the clouds take on a warm reddish tone, or appear as just dark fingers blocking all light from behind. At centre right are some brighter patches known as IC 348 around the star Atik, aka Omicron Persei. The glow at left in the darkest cloud is IC 2087. The small star cluster at upper right is NGC 1342.

This is a stack of 30 x 4-minute exposures with the Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 800, and the low-cost Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 lens at f/4 and shooting through a NISI Natural Night light pollution filter, a mild broadband filter.

All stacking, alignment and processing with Photoshiop 2021, with luminosity masks created with Lumenzia v9 extension panel, which was very helpful in bringing the faint dust clouds out from the dark background. No dark frames or LENR applied on this cool winter night.

Bound to our flat due to Covid-19 I gave focus stacking with my macro lens a try. I used Affinity Photo for the focus merge and am quite happy with the result.

first attempts at focus stacking

Should NOT have posted these just before lunch ! I am HUNGRY!! I took a bunch of other THREEs for MM. This is one of them!
