Stacked (comet center only), plus a few brush adjustments...came out much better than I initially expected (seeing conditions were pretty poor). Probably would have been better if I did it at 135 mm on Tuesday night, but it's something! DeepSkyStacker: 200 mm, f/2.8, 12800 ISO, 1.6 sec x 48 frames.
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 390 stone steps down to the footbridge, and 10 metal steps (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 8,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, with a visitor centre, and bird hide at Elin's Tower. The tower provides a place to see Choughs, Peregrine falcon, Kestrel and various marine mammals like the Harbour porpoise seen at high tide, Grey seal, Risso's dolphin and Bottlenose dolphin.
As the storm neared it developed this double and then triple stacked shelf cloud. The core was getting mean looking, it was green but had been turned yellow by the reddish setting sun behind the storm. COOL!
A what could now be considered a short container train rolls west through Swanton Ohio. If you come here today this scene has changed a lot, the crossing is gone, a bridge has been built over the track, a multi track storage yard used to normally hold coal trains and unit trains take up the entire left side of the scene today.
Brilliant! Shelley's crooked cake, conceived as a stack of doughnuts, with a coffee cup balanced precariously on top.
Winter light on Scotland's north east coastline with one of the Duncansby stacks.
Despite the clear skies there was a rim of cloud along the horizon preventing me from capturing the best light.
I counted about 15 seals with cubs on an inaccessible stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It was great watching their interactions. I was disappointed to see a number of large polystyrene chunks and other litter surrounding them

When arriving in Ethiopia, I always wanted to take photos of the stacks by the roads. It seems I only saw them in the first one or two days, and I don't think I saw them in southern Ethiopia. Thankfully I took a clear picture in the first day.
I guessed they were Teff stacks (so I didn't even ask the guide what they were).

New contract - Go-Ahead London E264 (SN62DFL) on route 291 to Woodlands Estate at Woolwich on 08/12/2018
In readiness for the introduction of Crossrail (or to give its proper name - the Elizabeth Line), the 291 gained a substantial capacity increase in the form of Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, and Go-Ahead won the contract running the route out of it's Morden Wharf garage in Greenwich.
In sharp contrast to the 9.6m Enviro200s they replaced, these vehicles carry roughly the same number of passengers on the lower deck alone as their predecessors did, so the overcrowding issues on the route should no longer be an issue.

Exhaust from a power plant stack literally lights up from the sun's rays early in the morning on a wintry December morning.
Hay bales shown in previous images are now stacked, awaiting transport.
Out & about in rural Norfolk uk.
A tornado warned supercell passing by Burlington, Colorado. May 27th, 2018. One of the more unexpected, photogenic storms I've encountered.
I photographed this wood stack on The Sleat Peninsula near Calligarry. The whole area used to be a big pine forest and all the trees had been cut down for timber, acres and acres of trees felled and piled up, it was quite sad to think that all these magnificent trees would be someone’s coffee table or bed frame next year. I really hope they plant more trees to replace them. We sneaked up the dirt track on a Sunday when none of the workers were around, really high up with an amazing view. When we passed the next day it was a hive of activity with loads of workers driving heavy plant machinery, and more trees falling. :-(
Sleat is a peninsula on the island of Skye in the Highland council area of Scotland, known as "the garden of Skye". It is the home of the clan MacDonald of Sleat. The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Sléibhte (or Slèite), which in turn comes from Old Norse sléttr (smooth, even), which well describes Sleat when considered in the surrounding context of the mainland, Skye and Rùm mountains that dominate the horizon all about Sleat.
Sleat is a traditional parish that has several communities and two major landowners (the Clan Donald Lands Trust and Eilean Iarmain Estate). Sleat Community Trust (Scottish Gaelic: Urras Coimhearsnachd Shlèite), the local development trust, has purchased the Skye Ferry Filling Station at Armadale and in common with many communities is investigating the options for renewable energy production. It also owns Sleat Renewables Ltd., a timber production company. In October 2007 the Trust hosted the Highlands and Islands Community Energy Company annual conference. Recently the final section of a new double-track road through Sleat to Broadford was finished. Most teenage school-children in Sleat attend Portree High School, where there is a hostel for those who live particularly far away.

"You've never seen so many chairs in one place... And yet, everyone is standing! This curious show is in the courtyard of the Coulanges Hotel, in which Tadashi Kawamata has made a home to exhibit his new eccentric installation, a monumental stack of chairs, which extends from the top of the building to the cobblestones of the inner courtyard."

Only in Utah you will find amazing stacked rocks with Ravens enjoying the view from above. Don't you wish you could fly.

My first attempt at focus stacking an image, this is 15 images stacked with photoshop
Happy enough with the general result as I can seen now what it is all about, don't know did I pick an image with too much detail or use too many images as there are quiet visible artefacts around the central stalks if the Lily. but it is all about learning for the next image
Still more to stack to the left of the picture, but that's going up to the house. Love this new location. Always in the sun and made stacking rather nice since it was cold but I was in the sun all afternoon.
There is a place down south of my way that those who know about it know where I took this photo. If you don't know where this is then perhaps just leave it be, I would hate to see a viewing platform full of six hundred point and shooters sharing the moment with me. As it is I had the location for the entire evening before and the next morning to myself at this place. The only evidence of movement there after I left in the evening and returned the next morning was a single set of footprints and two sets of paw prints.
This is a single frame shot against sunrise with the sky colors assisted by the DSE controlled burns going on in the area. There has been little enhancment and a lot of red taken out of the shot. I found that even though I shot at a neutral color temperature there was still a stack of red color cast that had to be taken out.
PS: To the abalone poachers that rolled up as I was walking out - F#$k you dirtbags.....

So, today I did a quick indoor focus stack image using a bunch of dried roses I'd be saving for when I got a chance. Going in close has given a certain abstractness to it I think.
25 images shot as high quality jpeg, auto aligned and stacked in Photoshop, edited slightly in Lightroom for colour balance, light levels and curves, Cropped and exported to Photoshop for framing and logo/watermark.
Comments welcome!
A calm sea, low winds, and constant drizzle. As per the previous 'Coast' image , a short window of time to grab a few images with a lot of standing about waiting in between.
Showdown Challenge Theme #2 - triangles.
Mikul is back for a rematch. Please write "I vote for ..." in a comment on the photo you choose as winner. Unless you are voting for him, then just tell me how nice this beach is! ;)
My son Sam and his sister, Emma, joined me over a long weekend roadtrip to the north end of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Along the way, they both came up with triangle ideas and suggestions. But on our only good weather night I happened to be on Shi Shi Beach. Some of these sea stacks screamed TRIANGLE to me. Of course, the nice sunset doesn't hurt. LOL.
Here's Mikul's triangle photo. And please don't fall for his charm or underdog demeanour. He has tons of contacts and his photos get many, many views. Why? - because he has great skill at taking and processing images. I'm lucky to have him as a Flickr friend.
