1. WeMacro Focus Rail
Canon MP-E 65mm - Canon 80D - Yonguno YN24EX - f5.6 - 193 micron units - 21 stack
The WeMacro Focus Rail offers the finest degree of control. The lowest increment can be as low as 1 micron. Although this degree of control may be needed for magnifications of x10+ - for insects at 5x - 62 microns is ample. WeMacro provides a very useful DOF Estimates For Macro Chart. Using this method one sets the depth of field step size based on aperture and magnification. I just looked it up on the DOF Estimate for Macro Chart. For example, on an APS-C sensor using f5.6 at 2x magnification 193 micron step sizes are recommended.
Pros: Offers the greatest degree of control and maximum magnification - an incredible 1 micron
Cons: Heavy - great for studio but not to so practical for field stacking
2. Novaflex Castel Q Focus Rail
Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 - f5.6 - quarter mm increments - 16 stack
There is always the good old fashioned way of manually stacking using a focus rail. Although much slower than using an automated method it does provide the satisfaction of being able to see the focus with each turn of the focus knob. With care and attention manual focus stacking can be suitable for maximum magnifications of 5x.
Pros: Area of focus can be clearly seen on-the-fly and with each turn of the focus knob.
Cons: Slow - by the time the stack is completed there’s a good chance the subject will have lost patience and moved
3. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 8 - 8 stack
By far the quickest method and great for taking stacks in the filed. The camera generates 8 jgs and from these a final RAW composite is made. Alternatively one can bracket up to 99 images and have these imported into stacking software, such as Zerene Stacker. The main drawback of this method is that you have to estimate the focus point by setting a ‘differential’ between 1 - 10. 1 represents the smallest of increments and 10 the largest.
4. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 2 - 8 stack
As can be seen, a diff of 8 provides substantially more depth of field than a diff of 2 (where only the mouth parts of the dragonfly exuviae are clearly in focus
Pros: The lightest and quickest method of all. Great for stacking in the field.
Olympus E-M1 with Olympus Zuiko 60mm lens and STF-8 twin flash weigh just under 1 kilo. Compare this to my Canon 5D and Yonguno YN24EX on Canon Speedlite Bracket SB-E2 weighing in at a whacking 3 and a half kilos!
Cons: The amount of focus increments needs to be approximated from a differential of 1 - 10. One can’t set the focus starting and ending points as with the WeMacro Focus Rail nor see what’s in and out of focus - as with manual stacking.
Feeling tonnes better today.... I think the change in weather has helped. Mister sunshine had his hat on. Was lovely to walk home from the Metro with no jacket on.
Decisions, decisions...... sometimes you struggle to get one photo you like then other days you can't choose. This was one of those days. ODC's challenge was Stack/Pile, surprisingly I opted for Lego, AGAIN. However, I did have a couple of other photos that I liked one of some playing cards stacked up in a pyramid, and the other a tower of apples.
The "stacks" are the areas in the library in which books are stored. Here students come to find materials to reference for classes and for personal reading.
Plenty of stone stacking here on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, looking South along the eastern shoreline. It felt very inspiring!

Visiting a local garden centre they had hundreds of pots, all stacked high on pallets but well displayed. The pots on this particularlar pallet had wonderful textures.
The London Heathrow Epsom 'stack'. Three twin-jets follow the descending spiral route over Surrey prior to joining the approach to London Heathrow.
Stacked set of 50 images taken on 20 second exposure and varying ISO's. This image is made using jpeg's so I'm hoping when I stack and properly process the RAW files it'll come out even better.
Many, many Long Pie Pumpkins this year. They look like overgrown zucchini, but you know when they're ready to pick by the orange spot on the bottom.
They'll cure here on the porch for a few weeks, then I'll haul them upstairs to a cool room, where they'll keep almost all winter.
Long Pie makes a fine pumpkin pie, and the seeds are pretty tasty, too.
Stacked precariously with my little "understudy" at my feet!

sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.

Tylopelta gibbera, a wee, brown, spec-like, treehopper. This species runs from Central America north where it quietly sips sap from the tick-trefoil plant group. These specimens came from the Sarah Kocher lab at Princeton, where they were imprisoned in small net cages in greenhouses while Sarah and her white-coated lab staff use lasers to listen in on treehopper sex talk; where competing males shout to females by drumming on the plants making tiny vibes that, if played correctly, are aphrodesial to any female in the area. They are using the treehopper's molecules to deconstruct why, where, and how these sexy vibrations vary across the landscape. Who knew. Both 10x and 5x shots involved.

Canon EOS 50D, Canon EF 100mm ƒ/2.8 macro USM prime @ ƒ/2.8, ISO 12800, 2 sec. exposure x 50, tripod, 2 sec shutter holdoff.
*** best viewed full size ***
The big picture is one of the 50 OOF shots I took. Just couldn't make that macro lens get to critical focus tonight; the stars were dim (humidity) and my eyes just aren't up to it with that ƒ/2.8 aperture.
The inset is what I could get out of the stack of fifty. Wish it had been in focus. Oh well. :)
On Monday, I should have an 85mm ƒ/1.8, and the next clear evening, I'll see what I can do with that. It's about a stop and a half of additional light, so hopefully that'll make it easier to focus. Here's hoping it won't be a CA nightmare like the ƒ/1.2L 85mm was!

I picked out 36 8 stacks and arranged them in a dark to light progression, with the yellowish diamond shape in the large diamond. I would be thinking of the dark as the center and putting the star on a dark background. I'll either go with this arrangement - maybe change a few- or just go back to a random arrangement, like the last one.
A crew from Dogsthorpe was called to a stack fire at a farm in Middle Road, Newborough.
Approximately 10 tonnes of baled straw was well alight and had spread to wooden pallets and trees.
Firefighters used hose reels and jets to contain and control the fire and a farmer with a teleporter assisted by removing wooden pallets.
At 9am the incident was handed back to the farmer and fire crews will return to inspect the stack.
The crew returned to station by 9.15am.
The cause of the fire was deliberate.
South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
