I was already making more macros of printed circuit boards. This has in the past always worked quite well, but as close as here I am never approached due to the then low depth of field, it lacked the viewer just a lot of information about the board.
In these images, I've done two things differently:
Setup as shown us by Tilo Gockel (Thanks Tilo, cool idea!) Supplemented with slight brightening by a flash with blue gel. So I wanted to make the PCB a bit upbeat.
Then 15-20 photos made with migratory sharpness, which were afterwards rendered with a Stacking software into a single image.
So beautiful can electronic waste be
I find especially the blurry photos quite aesthetically.
Here's some examples (with making-of).

GEORGETOWN STUDENTS SERVE URIBE SUBPOENA TO SPEAK UNDER OATH ABOUT PARAMILITARY TIES
Last week, students at Georgetown University in Washington, DC succeeded in serving Colombia's ex-president Álvaro Uribe with a subpoena to testify about paramilitary ties in Colombia. The Adios Uribe Coalition has campaigned since September to get Georgetown to drop Uribe as a 'Distinguished Scholar'. Following a rally at Georgetown's Red Square of over 100 students, teacher and activists, former SOA Watch Prisoner of Conscience (serving 6 months in a federal prison in 2003) and current Georgetown law student Charity Ryerson served Álvaro Uribe with a subpoena, directing him to testify under oath in a case against Drummond Mining Company.
The importance of this action cannot be overstated. Uribe will have to talk about his knowledge of paramilitary collusion with the transnational Drummond and with the Colombian Armed Forces. Drummond is being sued by close to 500 families of victims of paramilitary terror, who claim that the coal company worked with the Colombian paramilitaries to murder, torture and disappear their loved ones. Augusto Jiménez, the president of Drummond in Colombia, is a distant relative of Álvaro Uribe.
Under the regime of Álvaro Uribe, close to 35,000 Colombians were killed, with thousands being presented as guerrilla fighters killed in combat. He has been accused of wiretapping his political opponents, attacking social movements and many in his party have been tied to the paramilitary infrastructure. While the Jesuits have been outspoken defenders of the poor and the marginalized in Latin America, Georgetown University continues to try to clean the image of Uribe by employing him as an academic. SOA Watch remembers the thousands of disappeared, displaced and massacred in Colombia and across the Américas, and calls on Georgetown to drop Uribe.

President Richard Nixon resigned after wiretapping a handful of journalists, sparing the nation the ordeal of impeachment. We call on Obama to do the same. His administration vetted the NSA's surveillance of millions of Americans and seriously violated the Fourth Amendment. He confiscated the personal records of reporters, thus violating the First Amendment, and the IRS under his watch harassed political organizations opposed to his policies. Moreover, his administration has lied under oath to Congress. In addition to violating Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution by invading Libya, his administration engaged in torture and conducted a covert drone war. Due to the severity of these crimes, we call for the immediate resignation of Barack Obama.

The Watergate complex is a group of five buildings next to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. in the United States. The 10-acre (40,000 m2) site contains an office building, three apartment buildings, and a hotel-office building. Construction was delayed for several months while the developer, government officials, and others debated the appropriateness of the complex's architectural style and height. Construction began in August 1963, and, after additional controversy over the height and siting of the fifth building, was completed in January 1971. Considered one of Washington's most desirable living spaces, the Watergate has been popular with members of Congress and political appointees in the executive branch since it opened. The complex has been sold several times since the 1980s. In the 1990s it was split up and its component buildings and parts of buildings were sold to various owners.
In 1972, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, then located on the sixth floor of the Watergate Hotel and Office Building, were burglarized, documents were photographed, and telephones were wiretapped. The investigation into the burglary revealed that high officials in the Nixon administration had ordered the break-in and then tried to cover up their involvement. Additional crimes were also uncovered. The ensuing Watergate Scandal, named for the complex, led to the resignation of Nixon on August 9, 1974. The name "Watergate" and the suffix "-gate" have since become synonymous with political scandals in the United States and in other English- and non-English-speaking nations as well.

Leslie Bacon, arrested as a material witness in the March 1, 1971 Capitol bombing case, is shown in an undated photograph.
Bacon was a 19-year-old antiwar activist living in Washington, D.C. and helping to organize the upcoming Mayday demonstrations that would attempt to shut down the U.S. government in protest of the continued war in Indochina.
On April 27, 1971 she was arrested in Washington, D.C. and spirited to Seattle, Washington where she lived in a motel room for several weeks with federal agents while being held incommunicado.
She ultimately refused to testify before a grand jury investigating the Capitol bombing after being offered limited immunity. She was sentenced to jail May 19, 1971 by Judge William N. Goodwin and remained in jail until June when a Court of Appeals ruled that she could be released into the custody of her attorneys.
The Court of Appeals voided the initial arrest warrant saying she should have been provided the opportunity to appear before the grand jury voluntarily like other citizens. The Court of Appeals later also voided her contempt charges when the federal government refused to turn over the transcripts of illegally obtained wiretaps.
No else was arrested in connection with the Weather Underground bombing of the U.S. Capitol that destroyed a restroom in protest of the Indochina War.

Anthony Scoblick talks with his wife, Mary Cain Scoblick, outside the federal building in Harrisburg, Pa. April 30, 1971 after she was indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to blow up government buildings in Washington, D.C. and kidnap National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger.
Anthony Scoblick had already been indicted and was conducting a fast outside the federal building in protest of the government’s use of the grand jury.
Ultimately seven defendants stood accused of conspiring to raid federal offices, to bomb government property, and to kidnap Kissinger in 1971. Prosecutors accused them of planning to use the heating tunnels beneath Washington, D.C. to carry out the plot.
The group was primarily composed of Catholic non-violent direct action activists: Phillip Berrigan, Sister Elizabeth MacAlister, Rev. Neil McLaughlin, Rev. Joseph Wenderoth, Anthony Scoblick, Mary Cain Scoblick along with Eqbal Ahmad—a Pakistani journalist and political scientist.
The trial sparked a nationwide defense effort that included a rally in Harrisburg that drew upwards of 20,000 people to support the seven.
Father Berrigan was serving time in the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary, in central Pennsylvania at the time of the alleged conspiracy.
Boyd Douglas, who eventually would become an FBI informant and star prosecution witness - was a fellow inmate. Douglas was on a work-release at the library at nearby Bucknell University.
Douglas used his real connection with Berrigan to convince some students at Bucknell that he was an anti-war activist, telling some that he was serving time for anti-war activities. In fact, he was in prison for check forgery. In the course of the investigation the government resorted to unauthorized and illegal wiretapping.
Douglas set up a mail drop and persuaded students to transcribe letters intended for Berrigan into his school notebooks to smuggle into the prison. (They were later called, unwillingly, as government witnesses.)
Librarian Zoia Horn was jailed for nearly three weeks for refusing to testify for the prosecution on the grounds that her forced testimony would threaten intellectual and academic freedom. She was the first United States librarian to be jailed for refusing to share information as a matter of conscience.
U.S. attorneys obtained an indictment charging the Harrisburg Seven with conspiracy to kidnap Kissinger and to bomb steam tunnels. Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark led the defense team for their trial during the spring months of 1972. Clark used a then relatively untested theory of scientific jury selection—the use of demographic factors to identify unfavorable jurors.
Unconventionally, he didn't call any witnesses in his clients' defense, including the defendants themselves. He reasoned that the jury was sympathetic to his Catholic clients and that that sympathy would be ruined by their testimony that they'd burned their draft cards. After nearly 60 hours of deliberations, the jury remained hung and the defendants were freed.
Douglas testified that he transmitted transcribed letters between the defendants, which the prosecution used as evidence of a conspiracy among them. Several of Douglas' former girlfriends testified at the trial that he acted not just as an informer, but also as a catalyst and agent provocateur for the group's plans.
There were minor convictions for a few of the defendants, based on smuggling mail into the prison; most of those were overturned on appeal.

On April 27, 1971 she was arrested in Washington, D.C. and spirited to Seattle, Washington where she lived in a motel room for several weeks with federal agents while being held incommunicado.
She ultimately refused to testify before a grand jury investigating the Capitol bombing after being offered limited immunity. She was sentenced to jail May 19, 1971 by Judge William N. Goodwin and remained in jail until June when a Court of Appeals ruled that she could be released into the custody of her attorneys.
The Court of Appeals voided the initial arrest warrant saying she should have been provided the opportunity to appear before the grand jury voluntarily like other citizens. The Court of Appeals later also voided her contempt charges when the federal government refused to turn over the transcripts of illegally obtained wiretaps.
No else was arrested in connection with the Weather Underground bombing of the U.S. Capitol that destroyed a restroom in protest of the Indochina War.
