Oh look, it's the view from my backyard for the millionth time. Not my best time stack, but not my worst either. I've got a few good ones to post soon. Stay tuned! 173 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop.

Instead of keeping the title "Insert Clever Title Here" I went with Shannons suggestion.

230 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. Some interesting shapes and patterns created by contrails and clouds moving in different directions.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A photo stack from a timelapse I shot of the sun setting over some train tracks. I wish I could fasten my camera to the front of one of these trains and do a timelapse from the trains perspective. I'll have to see if I can find out who to ask about that sort of thing. Maybe VIA rail could use it for a commercial, as they seem to be advertising a lot more lately.

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.

Cloud trails over remnants of corn rows poking through a snow covered field in Seeley's Bay.

 

I made this time stack by combining 250 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc

There are a lot of Chedis within the walls of Wat Pho. (I think it's 91 in total) There's 71 small chedis (5 meters high) that contain the ashes of the royal family, and 20 slightly larger ones clustered in groups of five (one of those groups is pictured here) that contain the relics of Buddha.

I was happy to catch the moon along with the end of the sunset, as it fired up for one last quick burst of colour.

Another sunset over Little Cranberry Lake from Haskins Point. The clouds looking a bit like a marlin, with the contrail from an airplane making the the dorsal fin, and the clouds below coming to s fine point on the right.

Bulbophyllum Louis Sander is a cross between Bulbophyllum longissimum and Bulbophyllum ornatissimum.

61 pics Photostack Pmax - Amsterdam, January 13th 2014 - Slovenja-Aduissina, Selva di Tarnova 1100 mt.VI-2013

This night was calmer than usual, which made for some nice reflections of the stars on the lake. My next timelapse video collage will have a fair bit of night photography, since we've had a bunch of clear nights. (and days) I'll be putting that together soon, I just need to finish the music.

Last one of the head louse. 19 photo stack using tablet remote to view image remotely. Shame about the selotape & dust......Time to move on to the next subject.....probably to the delight of some of my friends

288 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. (via a script from star circle academy to automate the process) I thought the jagged edges of some of the clouds was interesting.

A photo stack of 6 stills from a timelapse I shot in June. I like the chaos of how the clouds mixed together.

I was late for this sunset, so I didn't get much cloud movement, but the colours were nice.

I made this time stack by combining 109 photos into one image.

The images in this database were captured using the Macropod by Macroscopic Solutions.

 

The Macropod is a 3D, rigid, portable photomacrography system that is paired with the Canon 6D, MP-E 65 mm 1-5x or 100 mm lenses.

 

Images between 7.5x and 50x magnifications are achieved by replacing the MP-E 65 MM 1-5x (and various ext. tubes) with a Nikon BD Plan 40 Objective, chipped adapter and series of M42 extension tubes and adapters.

Just for pure fun! I took a balloon and added some food colouring and then froze it in the freezer. After removing the balloon I then took a propane torch and heated the surface of the ice ball. This is a similar method that ice sculptors use to clean the surface of the ice. I decided to photo stack with about 5-7 incremental exposures to focus from outside to inside of the ice ball. Although it is not perfect it does give an interesting look at the inside of the ice ball.

This was a great sunset that I had to shoot in two parts because once the colour faded, the light dimmed and my photos were starting to get underexposed, I could see that the colour was starting to come back. So I stopped the first timelapse, adjusted my settings and started shooting this one, the elusive second sunset, which are always shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.

I made this time stack by combining 224 photos into one image. This one is a combination of stack modes. The "mean" stack mode for the sky, and the usual "maximum" for the foreground.

Here's a photo stack of the last timelapse I shot for this music video... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOrfmCVjzwQ

 

It's about 130 photos. It was a great storm to watch, it never rained either, so it was something of a photographers dream. There were multiple flashes each second and lots of lighting bolts off in the distance. It would have been great if the lightning was closer, but that may have brought the rain as well, so I can't complain.

325 photos of the sun setting over Lake Ontario, all merged into one image than digitally mirrored.

383 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. Another timelapse of fireflies. This time in a field for horses. The metal thing in the foreground is for holding hay.

257 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. About an hour and a half of time in a single frame. The moon setting, stars spinning and planes flying over Lake Ontario.

The legend of how this temple came to be is a fun story, but like many of the legends from long ago, parts of it seem pretty hard for me to believe.

 

Here's how Wikipedia tells it...

"According to legend, a monk named Sumanathera from the Sukhothai Kingdom had a dream. In this vision he was told to go to Pang Cha and look for a relic. Sumanathera ventured to Pang Cha and found a bone. Many claim it was Gautama Buddha's shoulder bone. The relic displayed magical powers: it glowed, it was able to vanish, it could move and replicate itself. Sumanathera took the relic to King Dhammaraja, who ruled Sukhothai. The eager Dhammaraja made offerings and hosted a ceremony when Sumanathera arrived. However, the relic displayed no abnormal characteristics, and the king, doubtful of the relic's authenticity, told Sumanathera to keep it.

 

King Nu Naone of Lan Na heard of the relic and bade the monk to bring it to him. In 1368, with Dharmmaraja's permission, Sumanathera took the relic to what is now Lamphun, in northern Thailand. Once there, the relic broke into two pieces. The smaller piece was enshrined at a temple in Suandok. The other piece was placed by the king on the back of a white elephant which was released into the jungle. The elephant is said to have climbed up Doi Suthep, at that time called Doi Aoy Chang (Sugar Elephant Mountain), stopped, trumpeted three times, then dropped dead. This was interpreted as an omen. King Nu Naone immediately ordered the construction of a temple at the site." -Wikipedia

 

This golden chedi is where the alleged piece of Buddha's shoulder bone is stored, among other relics, like the ashes or bones of other important people.

 

It was very crowded here, and tough to get a shot of the chedi without someone standing in from of it, so I found a relatively safe pace to set up my tripod (next to a wall) and I shot a timelapse. That way I could make a time stack (with the mean stack mode in photoshop) to "erase" all the people, only this place was so crowded that there's still some ghostly remnants of them.

 

For this image, I stacked 122 photos using the mean stack mode in photoshop. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
