Wanted to try my hand at more astrophotography, so this is a collage of several techniques combined with a long exposure (25 second exposure) while light painting with a 100 lumen flashlight and a 20 photo stack of Orion's Nebula (ISO 12,800 at 1 sec exposures, ƒ/1.8).
I took these shots close to home as I didn't feel like driving to the Malahat which is a little ways out. So the noise pollution was there which made for a interesting way to frame the trees but I was actually surprised how little it affected my shots of the Nebula,
Anyhow fun shots for the evening. Will have to seriously look at doing more astrophotography one day.
UPDATE: I've also included the full sized version of this file to see the details of the stars.

a7 + Auto Cosmogon 1:2 F=58mm
This Cosmogon is an export Helios 44M lens variant, usually sold along with Cosmorex-SE (Zenit EM) camera. According to unofficial sources, the lens belongs to a special series in honor of the joint Soyuz-Apollo flight into space. Cosmogon! :-)
So here is my 1st focus stacking test in 2014 :D
I didn't noticed the insect when I did it

Haystack is a very common post harvest scene in most part of the world. However it has only recently appeared on the local landscape, so I suspect we'll be seeing more of these soon. Btw these are dried cane leaves.
Heading towards Newkirk (which is not much more than a gas station on I40) is this UP hauled stack train.
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.
This is a seed jar made by Rachel Sahmie, a renowned Hopi-Tewa potter from Polacca on First Mesa, Hopi Nation, Arizona, USA. It is a typical example of contemporary pottery in the style of Sikyatki Polychrome (c. 1400 - 1600 AD), which was revived by her great-great grandmother, the famous potter Nampeyo in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She made this pot out of clay rolls, pinched together and smoothed, then she polished the surfaces using a pebble. No potter's wheel was used. Paint was made of boiled up plant material. Firing took place outside, in a heap of sheep dung. This is the traditional way of making Hopi pots. We met Rachel and her mother, Priscilla Namingha in Priscilla's home and bought two pieces in 1997.
This image is the result of 13 shots combined by focus stacking for increased depth of field, using Lightroom and dedicated stacking software Helicon Focus. I never tried this before and I am quite happy with the result. Nikkor 2.8/105mm macro lens at F 8, D850 camera. Jar diameter is c. 12 cm (5 inches). At these settings, the normal depth of field would be a few mm. Again, if you look carefully, you'll see that the back rim is in focus too, which would be impossible in a single-shot image. My previous attempt was received pretty well, what do you think about this one?
The top of the hills appear as islands in this sunrise shot.
This multi shot panorama was created with two stacked Lee filters...a .6 soft grad and .9 hard grad.

Follow me:
South Stack is a tiny island off the north-western tip of Holy Island - itself an island off the north-western tip of Anglesey. It is joined to Holy island by a small suspension bridge for pedestrians, at the foot of a steep flight of 350 steps down the cliffs, and is crowned by a 90ft lighthouse, now automatically operated.
Another shot from my recent holiday, this is a view of the amazing lighthouse at South Stack on the north coast of Anglesey (Wales). There was a howling wind and it was extremely cold but it was an amazing site to see!!

Having a bit of creative fun, I stacked 130x2 second images and lightened in PhotoShop 6.0. Unlike my previous examples: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/albums/72157689221737561, these clouds seemed to be moving in many directions over this 4.3 minute interval.
Anyway, I thought the pattern was an interesting abstract and worth uploading. :-)

Not much time for photos today as some relatives from Australia are over visiting, quick grabshot of a stack at Noss Head.
I am an old dawg trying to learn new tricks...I have owned my GFX100S for a year and have never tried focus stacking...geez....so, this image is nothing but, stacked the images and then experimented with the ON1 Sky Replace feature....I add the moon (brush) first, mask the edges on the mountain ridge and then apply the sky effect.
Among the most impressive sights along the Jurassic Coast are the sea stacks at Ladram Bay. The sandstones contain numerous vertical fractures and joints that were formed deep in the Earths crust during past mountain building periods. The sea picked out these planes of weakness to form caves and natural arches that have since collapsed to produce sea stacks. The “Otter Sandstone” that forms the cliffs and sea stacks were deposited in a hot dry climates in the Triassic Period about 220 Million years ago. The stacks are composed of the same rock, which is relatively soft, but they have a harder band of sandstone at their base which prevents their rapid erosion by the sea. The striking red colour of the rock is caused by iron oxide, which tells us that the layers were formed in a desert. The presence of ripple marks and channels in the sandstones, together with the remains of the long-extinct plants, insects, fish, amphibians and reptiles, show that the desert was crossed by fertile river valleys.
The “Otter Sandstone” is the richest source of Triassic reptile remains in Britain and one of the most important in the world. At the south-west end of the bay, the most common fossils in the sandstone are networks of vertical, tube-like carbonate petrifactions (rhizocretions): these represent the roots of plants that were able to survive in the harsh dry climate of the Triassic Period.[2]
The bay is sited on the same band of Sandstone that forms the oil reservoir at the Wytch Farm oilfield on the Isle of Purbeck.
This is a stack of 120 images (interval 5 sec; lapse time ~10 minutes), layers darkened and lightened then blended 50%-50% with Photoshop. Since the clouds remained nearly stationary, except for a drifting contrail at top, the image almost looks like a single frame image.
The phantom jeep was unavoidable.
