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)
239 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script, advancedstacker.com
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 made this time stack by combining 218 photos into one image.
The previous photo(s) digitally mirrored.
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.
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.

Giant willow trees in my back yard lit from street lights close by. The Earths rotation is seen in the stars by combining 205 photos in one image that represents about 2 hours time.
164 photos merged together using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. A timelapse of cumulonimbus clouds rising and falling creating these smooth hills in the sky. Viewed as a timelapse video, they look more like explosions. This one will be in my next timelapse video college.
Another photo stack, made from a daytime timelapse of clouds passing over Lake Ontario. Check out the video... My latest timelapse creation... www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLuZhXZztGw&feature=youtu.be

A small patch of ice and a much bigger patch in the distance (which is part of Cranesnest Lake) reflect the sunset.
I made this time stack by combining 264 photos into one image.
This was an interesting sunset. There were three layers of clouds moving in slightly different directions. The two lower layers caught the first bit of colour, and once they faded to gray, the clouds above/behind them lit up orange and then red before also fading to grey.
I made this image by combing 228 photos.

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.

Not only is this moth stunning to look at, it's also nearly 30 years old! Sample preserved and provided by our dear friend, entomologist and photographer... Stan Malcolm. His work can be found here: www.performance-vision.com/airline/

I noticed some fireflies around here while storm chasing a few nights before this. I decided I'd go back on the next clear night to get some star trails along with the fireflies.
I was hoping to see more fireflies in the foreground, but for whatever reason, they all decided to hang out pretty far away from the camera.

Ants and bees are fantastic creatures for me. I'm fascinated by their social life. Moreover I find them as being very interesting photomacrographic subjects.
I took more pictures of this medium size ant (have no idea about its ID), but I only chose three to publish.
I used JML 21mm mounted on a Nikon PB-6 bellows. I didn't measured the magnification, but I'm pretty sure that is about 7X-8X. Stack made out of 111 exposures.
Note: I don't use to shot in RAW when I make stacks, but this time I forgot to change the file format and during the conversion from RAW to JPG, the background color has became more vibrant, thing which I don't like personally.
Sunset over the frozen and snow covered Little Cranberry Lake. My first sunset of 2018 was a decent one to start off the year.
I made this time stack by combining 80 photos into one image using the mean stack mode in Photoshop. Here's a quick and easy tutorial of the process I use. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
