Here comes an eastbound stack train in Chesterton, Indiana, on the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern.
No photoshop or stacking

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.

Five of the seven stacks that still stand at the old blast furnace complex in Ensley, on the southwest edge of Birmingham, Ala.
There are a bunch of smaller stacks that were knocked down and left where they fell, and are now being overtaken by brush.
If you look at historical photos of this sprawling facility, there's dozens of stacks and a pall of pollution hanging overhead. You can imagine the smells and sounds, too. But today it's quietly reverting to nature, and seems relatively clean, not counting whatever is hidden in the soil from a century of steel production.
I'm stacking books on top of my various bookshelves. I'm running out of the space...
If you are interested with the content of my bookshelves : www.librarything.com/profile/adulau
I took the picture for a blog entry : www.foo.be/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/2009-10-25_An_e-Book_Reader_Is...
Focus stack-images taken with Fuji GFX 50s on Cambo Actus view camera with Rodenstock 105mm lens at f5_6 ISO 100 2.6 sec with tilt up 9 degrees.
The spooky top floor of the stacks in the state library. I don't think anybody goes up there because the lights are always off. It's only dimly lit through the floor because all the floors in the stacks are made of translucent glass. It's sorta like an abandoned library or something.
I think if I keep going up there, I'll run into the scary librarian ghost from Ghostbusters. That lady always scared the friggin' crap out of me. Shhhhh!
I've been bad with Flickr. Really bad. I finally saw some amazing photos posted by friends from 9 (!) months ago! #shite #Isuck. I've been bad about posting too. So here's something from a roll just developed after being in my camera for 3(+) years.
These (among many hundred more) were stacked up in Canterbury Cathedral. I think the colour in the chrome is coming from the light from the stained glass.

MY FAVOURITE OF MARCH 2008.
This is in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral. I had spent a long time taking pictures of the huge interior of the cathedral when I spotted these piles of chairs. I could see the stained glass reflected in the chrome legs and I liked the repeating patterns. All I can say is if it were not for VR, this picture would not have come out.
The December sun was just low enough around midday cast the shadow from the chimneys on the other side of Trinity Street in Cambridge onto thiis chimney stack.
Captured with a Nikon 28mm f/2.8 AI-S lens at its closest focus distance of just 7 inches and wide-open aperture. DOF was so thin (see this also) that I focus stacked three photos into one.
Stack of 5 images using Zerene Stacker software.

I began to use the focus stacking technique to increase depth of field in 2018, and this was one of my first attempts. It is a natural light shot of some of the Phottix equipment I use to take photographs in the studio with flash:
• in the foreground is a radio receiver I would use on a cobra flash without a built-in one, such as a Nikon SB–900 unit;
• then is the Odin II radio controller which goes on top of the camera, and is used to remotely set all Phottix monolights (i.e., studio strobes) and cobra flashes, as well as non–Phottix strobes equipped with a receiver. It is a wonderful little tool that works over hundreds of meters if need be and allows me to modify the settings on any strobes, assemble them into 5 different groups if needed, and of course fire them;
• and in the background is one of the batteries that powers the Indra500 monolights. Thus, they are completely portable and can be used anywhere in the field reliable and for a long time. It works with high–speed sync too, if necessary.
I see from my notes of 2018 that this is a composite shot made up of 7 focus-stacked exposures, taken with a 60mm macro lens at f/8 only. I would never have been able to obtain such a great depth of field without focus stacking, while operating the lens at its “sweet spot” aperture. The D850 has a focus stacking automatic feature built in, which saves a lot of time and effort, as one can dispense with focusing rails and minute manual adjustments.
The stack was processed in Zerene Stacker, which is the software I used at the beginning. I then moved on to Helicon Focus, which I still use today.
September 2025. I am reposting this photo as a testimony of gratitude to the Phottix flash equipment I used for many years with lots of satisfaction, in the studio and outdoors. It was not perfect, and certainly the Godox AD flashes I now use are not only more powerful (600 W/s) but above all more convenient, as they are true “monolights” with self-contained batteries that eliminate the need for battery packs and connecting cables. Nevertheless, the Phottix were with me when I began exploring the wonderful world of off-camera flash, and that is a memory I will retain for as long as I live.
East bound CNW stack train was sent on the wrong track and sheared off almost 30 roofs of the top stack train at Brach Candy BRC bridge.I guess they forgot to read the sign above the bridge Stack trains prohbited
So I decided to start photo stacking. But where to start. There are so many programs that can do this. Some are free and some are not. I subscribe to Photoshop CC. So I decided to google photo stacking using CC. And guess what ? It has the capability to do this. Bonus. So I decided to try photographing an indoor plant then progressed to an out door plant. There was a fair amount of wind today so I didn't know whether this would work. However photoshop did a great job. I photographed many Trout Lilies then combined them to make one image.
My submission for week 3 of the 2014 photochallenge.
The theme for the week is still life fruit.
Strobist: 430exii in a Lumiquest SBIII, 1/8 power, camera left, 1/2 cut CTO; triggered by PW.
Working the SBIII in tight like this with a CTO gives a painterly quality to the light that reminds me of the Dutch masters -- appropriate for a fruit still life, I suppose.
The stacks are home to a large colony of seabirds. They are very loud, and the smell can be felt as far back as the car park. The cliffs are very steep and seemingly unstable. To make it even more exciting (or simply scary) the army is based just round the corner and there are lots of signs warning of explosives and gunfire.
I framed the couple on the cliff on the left side to give a sense of height. His wife was pretty scared and pretty vocal :)
I think that's me done in Pembrokeshire for now. Next I will be looking to visit Cornwall again for a few days, and perhaps it will be time for Snowdon. I maybe will try camping for a day or two as I start to find longer daytrips very exhausting, particularly the driving home at night bit.

Long exposure of 15 seconds of the stack near Thortonloch in Scotland. Taken before the loss of my ten stop.
Not the best angle / comp, but couldn't take this shot from anywhere else. Was standing on the arch to get this shot, so had very limited space/ angles. Couldn't even fully extend the tripod due to the width.
Luckily there was no wind otherwise I wouldn't of chanced it.
