South Stack from Holyhead Mountain..
For the last night of my stay I stopped on a campsite very close to South Stack. It's a great site with 200ft sheer cliffs, very clean and close to Trearddur Bay and the beautiful beach at Porth Dafarch, with spectacular views over to the mountains of Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula. The last of the colour in the heather is just about hanging on but the chill in the air up here was noticeable. Autumn is definitely on the way.
However....South Stack is a lighthouse and that can only mean one thing....Yup, Adrian had 'Lifted' going through his head for the next two days.
Damn you The Lighthouse Family.
Personal critique - a bit like most of my school reports “ Could do better” Excuse, not done many stacks. Lots to learn.
Lewis and Harris. Mangersta Rock Stacks, which I was desperate to return to. Pity tho, it was so windy and squally, showery, it was only possible to take mobile phone snaps. The stormy weather certainly made for dramatic seas. This is one angle, but tho you can walk out onto the point, had to return and do that another day, as the winds were so fierce, it wouldn't have been safe.
Focus stacking – a new era
It turns out that the FL-LM3 lamp can be used for focus stacking, which in the Olympus system is added as an accessory to the E-M1 Mark II. Basically, this lamp lies unused by all photographers who want to have "real" large reportage lamps.
I have been running a project called "macro photography" for some time now and I am trying to understand what is most important in it. In this first photo I want to prove that you don't have to buy a large reporter lamp, the FL-LM3 lamp with a low guide number (9 m) is enough. The first important lesson is to get as much detail as possible with as few shadows as possible in macro photography. The key is soft light, which depends on the reflecting surface (reflector) and on the gain, direction and distance of the flash in relation to the size of the photographed object. The larger the surface of the reflector in relation to the size of the photographed object, the softer the incident light. You should also make sure that it falls from different directions in order to "destroy" the shadows with the light falling from a different direction - this can be achieved with the shape of an ew reflector - using lower backlight from a diffuser.
I called my starting macro setup "Akocot Diffusor 0.0" (with a 12-40 lens) - the photos below show it. The reflector and reflector are a cosmetics bottle cut out for the FL-LM3 lamp. I specifically used a low sensitivity of ISO 64 and a large aperture of f10.0 and the maximum flash of the lamp (I also did equally good tests for ISO 200, f/10 and 1/32 of the lamp power), the photo is in JPG format, a file created directly in the camera body with 15 photos.
I am currently working on a diffuser that will ultimately work with the M.Zuiko 60 mm ED f/2.8 lens + Raynox DCR-250 + FL-LM3 lamp - I think I will show the effects of such a combination soon. The diffuser being developed will be called "AKocot Diffusor 1.0" and is dedicated to the body + lens + lamp system - it contains all the best solutions used in diffusers such as Cygnustech Diffusor, AK Diffusor, Pope Shield, Radiant and many other DIY.
I plan to continue and develop this project in the coming months, when there are few good weather days for landscape sessions. I think it's a good idea .
Focus-Stacking mit jeweils 10 Pics, im Dauerregen (40 l/m²), die Schmucklilie hat`s gefreut!
Focus stacking with 10 pics each, in continuous rain (40 l/m²), the lily was happy!
A break in the weather and the farmers have got started on the harvest here, This was a difficult shot to meter for, the sky was so bright so I ended up blending three shots together .
Zo klein maar zo mooi. Stack van 50 tal beelden bij natuurlijk licht, stapjes van 0,25 mm. Simpel 50 mm prime lensje met tussenringen op zelfbouw stacksysteem. LR PS en Zerene software.
A westbound Union Pacific stack train, led be EMD SD70ACe-T4 No. 3054, departs Green River, Wyoming, and begins its climb of Peru Hill on September 27, 2020.
Loch Stack is a lonely and wild place in the far north west of Scotland. A windy single track road goes past it, and this accessibility makes it rightly popular with photographers. In many cases you will see this view across Loch Stack to the great Quartzite lump that is Arkle, with a boarded up shed in the foreground. I have a few of those shots too, but decided that I liked the fleeting light on the little Birch trees that dot the boggy shoreline.
A simple stack of a stunning raft spider. If you look on the right hand side you'll see and even smaller spider which I'm yet to ID. It spent a couple of minutes annoying the raft spider and getting kicked around before it ended up as dinner. Imagine annoying someone so much that they resort to eating you...
A westbound double stack train passes the Metrolink station at Riverside. A lone searchlight signal still guards eastward movements at this location.
Passing the Edmonds Ferry Dock is a northbound (eastbound) BNSF stack train cruising along Puget Sound at Edmonds, Washington, on the sunny morning of June 30, 2006.
Not my photo!
A friend of mine in America, Len, sent me this photo yesterday.
I told him that I think it’s a beautiful photograph and asked if it would be okay to post this and his tale on Flickr. He agreed.
I met Len a number of years ago. We both play ‘Words with friends’ (it’s like the game of Scrabble) on their app.
He’s a good friend, and we often message or email.
Len and his wife live in Montana in the summer, and Arizona in the winter.
Len:
“Sunset View from our humble abode of the smoke stack at what was the Anaconda Cooper Co. Smelter where they processed copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc. It was shut down in the mid 1980’s. The stack is over 900 feet tall and the largest free standing stack in the world and is now a National Monument.
When it was in operation I brokered the insurance on all 1600 employees families that worked in the plant and had a claims office in Anaconda just to handle this insured plan. It was a great time in my life and a lot of fun. Many dollars commission for my family over the years. Also a lot of lifetime friendships built as a result. 😁👍”

So I thought I should explore the in camera stacking mode of the Nikon d850 as that is one of the top reasons I purchased the camera. So my learning curve begins.
Coasters stacked white, blue, white, blue, sandstone, base of the mower blade balancer, top of the mower blade balancer, and ring. The lawn mower blade balancer was thrown in for the crazy but I do love this for a few photos, only a few times that it may have to go to the garage but mostly on the cupboard waiting for a photo. 😊
QU'EST-CE QUE LE FOCUS STACKING (ICI AVEC UNE FOURMI NOIRE) ?
L'empilement de mise au point combine plusieurs images focalisées sur un point différent pour créer une image résultante avec une profondeur de champ plus grande que n'importe laquelle des images sources individuelles !
Il s'agit d'une technique conçue pour surmonter les limites de la profondeur de champ, en d'autres termes, lorsque la configuration de l'appareil photo ne peut pas gérer ses capacités de profondeur de champ !

WHAT IS FOCUS STACKING ? ( WITH BLACK ANT ) ?
Focus stacking combines multiple images focused on a different spot to make a resulting image with a greater depth of field than any of the individual source images.
It’s a technique designed to overcome the limits of depth of field, in other words, when the camera’s setup can’t handle its depth of field capabilities.

The view from the top of Hay Stacks looking down to Gatesgarth Farm and the Lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water. I sat here for quite a while drinking it all in before carrying on along this wonderful row of Fells.
Taken during blue hour with a Fujifilm X-T5, 8mm f/3.5 lens, this isolated storm put on a good lightning show. I stacked 5x6s frames and lightened in Photoshop. The star trail above the thunderstorm reveals the 5 frames.
Picture of the day
This cliff fall happened about 15 years ago, everyone thought the pinnacle would fall into the sea fairly soon after but it's still there.
