Huge numbers of Katiannidae globbies on fitness equipment, the first time I'v eseen them in these numbers, they're also joined by large numbers of another species, Entomobrya albocincta, mainly on the plastic covers for the nuts
Not fantastic, because the Mitakon 20mm f/2 4.5X is okay but a little soft. This is a stacked shot of 108 photos at 4:1.
Focus stack of 91 single shots. Shot with the EOS 90D and a Laowa 25mm Ultra Macro on a Cognisys StackShot Macro Rail. Processed in Helicon Focus and Lightroom. Natural light.
I was experimenting with the focus stacking technique to keep the background out of focus. This was the result.
messing about with some old lenses, tried a 135mm prime with an old 50mm prime reversed and all on tubes.This is a 37 x shot focus stack.Here is a BW Version.

These are six single valves of cockles — marine bivalves in the family Cardiidae. From the shape and ribbing, the most likely ID is Atlantic giant cockle, Dinocardium robustum, but I am not fully certain from the photo alone because worn cockles can overlap in appearance with Florida prickly cockle, Trachycardium egmontianum. The strongest feature here is the broad, heart-like outline and many smooth-to-rounded radial ribs, which fit D. robustum well; that species typically has about 30–40 rounded ribs. By contrast, T. egmontianum usually shows spiny or scale-like projections on the ribs, though heavy wear can reduce that clue.
Best identification: Atlantic giant cockle, Dinocardium robustum
Confidence: moderate
Close look-alike: Florida prickly cockle, Trachycardium egmontianum
What is in the image
There are six detached shell valves, not matched pairs. All are from the same general cockle type: thick, ribbed, fan-to-heart-shaped bivalve shells. The dark areas appear to be weathering, staining, attached residue, or beach wear, not natural pattern alone. The gray-blue shells are likely the same kind of shell with different weathering or surface condition rather than a different species. This last point is an inference from the visible similarity in form.
Individual description
Top shell
Large valve, cream to tan with brown banding, heavy dark encrustation or staining concentrated near the upper-right margin. Strong radial ribs. This is the most weathered specimen.
Left shell
Large valve with bold alternating brown and cream striping. Broad, inflated form, evenly ribbed, fairly intact.
Center shell
Medium-large valve, slate-gray to blue-gray overall with paler lower margin. Same ribbed cockle structure, but more muted due to wear or surface alteration.
Lower-left shell
Smaller valve, white to cream with crisp brown striping. Cleaner and more regular than the larger shells. Nicely preserved rib pattern.
Lower-center shell
Small darker valve, gray-black to olive-gray, visibly more worn. Ribbing is still clear but the surface looks abraded.
Right shell
Medium-small valve, pale cream with narrow reddish-brown striping. Cleaner, lighter, and more symmetrical-looking than the darker examples.
General description
These shells have the classic cockle architecture:
strongly radial ribs running from the beak to the margin
a rounded to heart-like outline
thick, sturdy valves adapted to life in sand or mud
variable external coloration, often cream with brown markings in Atlantic-region cockles

Sistema di messa a fuoco "Focus stacking"
Tutti gli insetti comunemente chiamati LIBELLULE appartengono all'ordine degli "odonati"
che dal greco significa "mandibole dentate".
Esistono due gruppi principali: gli Anisotteri, o vere libellule, e gli Zigotteri o "damigelle"
Si distinguono da posate perché le vere libellule tengono le ali aperte e orizzontali mentre le damigelle le tengono verticali e chiuse sopra il corpo.
Hanno entrambi un corpo allungato, occhi molto grandi, antenne corte e due paia di ali trasparenti, tutte si nutrono di insetti che catturano in aria.
NOTA Personale:
"Quando si dice che l'occasione fa l'uomo ladro".
Pascal disse:- non basta essere bravi , ma, bisogna cogliere anche lo "spirito" pronto.-
Era una giornata nuvolosa, quando mi trovai davanti alla finestra di casa una libellula appoggiata sopra un ramo del balcone. Cominciai a fotografarla come se posasse solo per me. Sicuramente mi sarebbe stato più facile con una modella. ho rischiato qualche strappo muscolare Comunque alla fine lo sforzo premia.
Personal note:
"When we say that the occasion makes the thief".
Pascal said - not enough to be good, but we must also grasp the "spirit" ready .-
It was a cloudy day, when I found myself standing at the window of the house a dragonfly resting on a branch of the balcony. I began to photograph her as if she were posing just for me. I definitely would have been easier with a model, risking tearing some muscle even though I used a tripod. However at the end rewards the effort.
This is a mixed collection of marine shells (mostly gastropods + a few bivalves), plus at least one coral/sponge fragment.
Seashells are the calcium-carbonate exoskeletons of marine mollusks such as snails and clams .
Identification (left → right, most probable)
1. Spiny shell (far left)
Likely: Murex / Rock snail (Family Muricidae)

Notes: Spiny projections often broken in surf
Confidence: Medium–high
2. Gray spiral (rear left)

Features: Smooth, rounded whorls, low spire
Confidence: Medium
3. Elongated patterned spiral (front left)
Likely: Whelk or Tulip shell (Busycon / Fasciolaria)
Features: Long spire, banded brown/white pattern
Confidence: Medium
4. Dark smooth oval shell (front center-left)
Likely: Worn whelk or olive-type shell (Oliva sp.)
Features: Smooth, polished surface, reduced pattern
Confidence: Medium–low (heavily worn)
5. Porous tan structure (rear center)
Not a shell
Likely: Coral or marine sponge skeleton
Features: Uniform holes, calcareous texture
Confidence: High
6. Thick orange/brown shell fragment (center)
Likely: Conch or helmet shell fragment (Strombus / Cassis)
Features: Thick lip, heavy structure
Confidence: Medium
7. Small round opening shell (center front)
Likely: Turbo/top shell (Turbo or Lithopoma)
Features: Thick circular aperture, nacre interior
Confidence: Medium
8. Rough encrusted shell (center-right)
Likely: Oyster or heavily encrusted gastropod
Features: Irregular, layered, calcified growth
Confidence: Medium
9. Red fan-shaped shell (rear right)
Definite: Scallop (Pectinidae)
Features: Radiating ribs, fan shape
Notes: Typical bivalve shell
Confidence: High
10. Large glossy brown shell (far right)
Likely: Cowrie or helmet-type shell (Family Cypraeidae / Cassis)
Features: Smooth, polished surface, rounded form
Notes: Cowries are glossy and oval with patterned surfaces
Confidence: Medium
11. White cylindrical shell (right front)
Likely: Tusk shell (Scaphopoda) or worn gastropod
Features: Smooth, tubular, open-ended
Confidence: Medium–low
12. Small ridged shell (front right)
Likely: Cockle fragment or small clam (bivalve)
Features: Strong ribs, symmetrical form
Confidence: Medium
Classification summary
Gastropods (snails): whelks, conch/tulip, turbo/top shell, cowrie/helmet
Bivalves: scallop, cockle
Non-shell: coral/sponge fragment
General rule: spiral = gastropod; two matching halves = bivalve
Description of the scene
Mixed collection arranged in a shallow arc on a neutral surface
Emphasis on texture contrast:
smooth (cowrie/olive)
ribbed (scallop, cockle)
spiny (murex)
porous (coral)
Color range: cream, tan, orange, red, brown, black
Lighting: soft, even, minimal shadow → good for catalog-style documentation

Today's macro photos in the garden all make use of in-camera focus stacking, which really shows the detail that would be hard to see with the naked eye.

Thanks yet again to my wife, Connie, who noticed this scene above us while I was driving.
Focus stack merge of 145 images. Processed in Helicon Focus and Nik Color Efex Pro 4 (Pro Contrast, Tonal Contrast, Low Key, and Detail Extractor).
Close-up photo of a double-sided quarter inch by twenty thumbscrew. Created from 50 images shot at ISO 64, 25mm, f/5.6 and 1/15th of a second exposure. Camera used was a Nikon D850 with the Laowa 25mm Ultra Macro Lens set to 2.5X magnification. Focus stacking was processed in Helicon Focus with method B (depth map) and then finishing touches were done in Adobe Lightroom.
