I shot a 4 hour timelapse hoping to catch as many Perseid meteors as I could, which worked out better than I expected. (see previous photo)
Since this time stack represents about 4 hours of time, that means that the star trails did 1/6th of a revolution. (a full revolution takes 1 day)
I made this time stack by combining 480 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I used. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc

These African violets are reliable bloomers multiple times a year. They were a gift in 2018.
This photo is made from over 20 individual images all with different focal points to create an in-focus image over most of the image. Not perfectly executed, as I'm learning.

I took a few long exposures at a busy intersection in Saratoga and stacked them in Photoshop to remove moving cars and people. For the most part, it worked, though there are some ghosts of moving cars that still remain. I think I should have shot a few more images, perhaps about dozen, so the software would have more to work with.
For the long exposures, a Lee Big Stopper was used, plus a 2 stop ND and a CPL to get an exposure time of 165 seconds.

Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod.
The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

This is a time stack that I digitally mirrored. It was made from 305 photos, combined in photoshop using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script, advancedstacker.com
484 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I wish I let the timelapse go a little longer so the clouds would have disappeared over the horizon, but I had already taken over 1300 photos, which was a lot more than I wanted to take.
A storm rolled through just before sunset, but luckily it broke up just in time to catch some colour. (which you'll see in the next photo)
I made this time stack by combining 60 photos into one image.
This is a collection of my photostacks of the genus carabus. Every single speciman is a photostack itself.
A photo stack of a sunset timelapse I shot not too long ago. You can see the timelapse in this video... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DqonlltUV0
When the night is darkest
Open up your mind
Dream begins it's becoming clearer
Listen to the distant
Listen and you'll find
A midnight train is getting nearer

I'm not sure what year I started this (it's been more than a few now) but I've made several attempts every year, trying to make a better spiral each time. (usually with plans of coming back at night to light paint the spiral and get a good timelapse of the stars spinning above it, preferably with the north star aligned with the center of the spiral. It looks pretty simple and straight forward, but I've found many struggles in the process. The worst of this particular spiral was the deep snow. I didn't have snow shoes, which made walking much harder, and I over did it this time, going further than I should of, and regretting it for the next few days, as my legs were quite sore, and the sides of my knees had sharp pains while walking, especially going up or down stairs, or any kind of incline/decline. Luckily, this pushed me to find out that the local library has snow shoes that they'll lend out for free.
Drosera omissa x pulchella. One of the fun things about pygmy Drosera is that the flowers can be almost as large (and in some cases much larger) as the actual plant.

Sticky Boobialla Myoporum petiolatum, a series showing flower development from bud. Grows in my garden but grows naturally in Victoria and South AUstralia. Stacked images.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the full moon set during this timelapse, but it worked out alright in the end, with this interesting composition where the path of the moon almost meets up with the path of the lens flare it created.
I can't help but wonder if the lens flare would have grown a little bigger, as the moon shrunk smaller (as it gets closer to the horizon it gets dimmer, making it look like it shrinks if it's overexposed to begin with) and they would match up, looking kind of like a super bright meteor. (they often have colour changes near the beginning and end of the time that they emit light while burning up in the atmosphere)

I also faded in the first and last 19 images using 5% increments of the layer opacity.
I've been hoping to catch a good sunset here for a while, the only problem was that this is facing east, and that direction doesn't seem to catch as much colour as the opposite direction, during sunset.
I was a little late getting out of the house this day, but the eastern sky looked promising, so I headed straight here, and made it just in time to catch the best part of the sunset.

I've been fascinated with pyramids ever since I first discovered them when I was young. (No I wasn't the guy that found the pyramids, I discovered them through photos in a books)
Maybe that's why I love doing these mirrored time stacks of sun/moon sets like this.
This is comprised of 7 photos and focus-stacked using Photoshop Elements Plus and then converted to BW with Silver Efex Pro.
I didn't have to do any of the work, as far as the light painting goes. There was a boat full of people waving flashing light wands and someone operating big spotlights with coloured filters behind me, painting the falls.

This is the macro photo I am most proud of to date. For what reason? Because the photostacking is all done manually in Gimp and not in Helicon as I have previously done.
16 handheld shots meant that they weren't aligned as like if I'd used a tripod, so the first challenge is manually lining them all up. then going through each layer one by one using a layer mask to pick out the bits in focus.
Bottom line: social media adds keep trying to tell me to use AI apps which will get the work done in moments. Where's the heart and soul in that? It's the reward for the hard work I enjoy. I really felt good about this outcome because it was me

This is the timestack I recently posted, digitally mirrored a few times.
I think this is the last thing I'll be posting from this timelapse. I definitely put it to good use! Here's a gif I made as well. matt-molloy.tumblr.com/post/116156424440/i-love-the-loopi...
I made my first moss terrarium. Now something is growing, I tried to capture a vertical stack of 15 shots.
A bug and fly on sunflower leaf.
Focus stack: Both photos were not shot with intention to stack them, but i got reasonable result. You can see non photo stacked version in following link

And just coverted raw from DPP default setting slight boost of saturation. Love ya 100mm !
Another attempt at the giant snow spiral. This time I made the spacing wider, and I also shot from a little higher than the last one. (though I'm still not getting the angle I'm hoping for) I set my camera up in the second floor of my house, over looking the lake.
As I'd done before, I made the spiral during the day, in hopes of coming back at night to do some light painting.
If I'm still living in this house when the lake freezes, I'll try another one, only this time I might shoot from the roof, and I'll make the spiral a little oval to compensate for the foreshortening.
Just under 3 hours from start to finsih. I wish I took the time to find a better foreground for this timelapse. I was a little rushed. Once I start my trip across Canada, I'll have plenty of time to set up my timelapses. If all goes well, I'll be heading east near the beginning of next month.
