Stack of 8 photographs, Helicon Focus

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.

CN 3006 is running solo on CN X421 with all stacks as they head eastbound on the Grimsby Sub in Hamilton, Ontario.

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. 😁👍”

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.

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.

Sea stacks along the Redwood coast north of Ft. Bragg, CA showed well in the morning light on this day in October, 2024.

I think this was taken about half an hour after sunset, just before the pink colours "evaporated".

SWELL Sculpture Festival. 'Stacked Chairs' by Alexander Piperides (Qld)

Stacked Chairs is an assembly of found chairs, portraying a column like structure. Although each chair has its own individual memory and function, they have become dependent on one another; the failure of one chair could result in the failure of the whole system. I would like to think of this similar to our current lives; where we are all at some stage or another, in the midst of various responsibilities, whether intentional or not. (the artist)
