Amazing pre-sunrise sky at Portmarnock on Tuesday 1st June 2021 to start the summer. It lasted for a good half hour or so, certainly the longest sky of this kind I’ve seen as usually they last 10 minutes at most.
9 x 1 sec exposures stacked w/ Nikon D5300 and kit 18-55mm lens.
I was a little bit surprised to see the pinks and purples show up in this one. I guess the clouds were dark enough in those ares (early on in the timelapse) to let them show through. It's also nice that it didn't get too messy, as this is over 300 photos merged into one image. Sometimes it only takes 50 photos to fill the entire sky with streaks of clouds, not always the most desirable effect.

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.

I posted some of these images over a year ago, but I didn't have the resources to validate my observations. I noticed that the scales of pachyrrhynchus resemble the pristine crystalline structure of SiO2 H2O. That is Opal! In other words, quartz with components of water that allow light to reflect and refract various colors if the molecules are arranged in a certain way.
Is there any chance that someone has analyzed the chemical composition on the scales of this weevil? I would be awfully curious to know. FYI: I used higher powered optics to take the first shot shown above. Take a a look at the scales up close!

Order: Lepidoptera
Much appreciated any idea about family or species, although there are not too many details that might help for identification
There are dozens such of moths during evening where I live. This one was almost dead when I found it on my kitchen table. I took a closer look and I saw that one of its middle legs was missing.
It was a challenging stack (at least for my limited experience) due to the fine texture given be the moth scales which are basically spread all over its body. The only organs without scales are its eyes from what I noticed.
If I had been a fashion designer I would have been inspired by this moth "cloths" :)
Magnification: 5:1
Stack made out of 71 different exposures (Zerene Stacker-PMAX). The lens used was JML 21mm f/3.5
Light: One Nikon SB-600 diffused through a yogurt plastic bottle + aluminum reflector. I'm not quite happy with the light setup that I used for this image because the flash was not configured properly.
I will add another two images with dorsal and ventral view of this moth.

Even though this was still before the official release of the lanterns, there was still a lot of them being launched into the sky.
I made this time stack by combining 211 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc

This is 579 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 19 photos with 5% increments of the layer opacity.
This shows just under 40 minutes of time in one image.
Little people, big world.
A 'tribute' to all those LTC tv shows out there. "Bridezilla, obsessed with the dress, found the gown, say yess to the dress, etc."
I used photostacking to get the bride and the policeman with the vest both in focus.
Photostack 101 pics- Dmap & Pmax -April 22nd 2013 - France, 155m, F. de Mormal - I-1984 - Background HDR taken November 27th 2012
Magnification 5X (133 exposures)
Lens: JML 21mm f/3.5 mounted on Nikon PB-6 bellows
Light: SB-600 diffused through the same yogurt plastic bottle and reflected from behind.
Although PMAX is better than DMAP when it comes to detail retention and transparency (like bristles), I found some time last weekend and I experimented DMAP stacking in my last two pictures and it was nice to notice that if DMAP is configured properly I can get a much better subject isolation and background. The colors are also more natural.
A combination between this two seems to be ideal.

Star trails over a slightly foggy Highway 15.
I made this time stack by combining 381 photos into one image.
Striped Lynx Spider. Adult Female. 1 cm Diagonal Leg Span. Endemic to many portions of the Southern US and Mexico. Even found in Hawaii. This harmless little spider is great at catching the little pest bugs that buzz around your plants and lights.
Alsobia 'Cygnet' is a cross between Alsobia dianthiflora and Alsobia punctata. I uploaded a picture of a solo flower from this plant recently but I generally think flower pictures are more interesting if I can get an arrangement with more than one flower.

195 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. It's neat to find out that painters have done this kind of technique long ago. (Late 1800's) Wikipedia says, "Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles"
Euphorbia milii var. splendens. Such a square and rectangular arrangement of flowers (or in this case cyathia) strikes me as unusual in nature.

Out for a paddle on a lake, and I managed to find some nice mushroom groups too. The little Olympus tough did a fabulous job of the photostack (30 images, stacked in camera)
This is a stack of 20 photos taken with the Nikon D850 and 105mm F2.8D micro lens. The stacked photos were taken with Controlmynikon. The images were processed using Zerene Stacker and DXO Photolab 2.

Volevo dare alla foto precedente un effetto particolare, un po' più caldo e se vogliamo più "hipster".
Alla fine ho fatto che caricarle entrambe, questa versione mi piace abbastanza alla fine
Aerides jarkiana. Usually I'm trying to capture flowers at their peak of "openness" but these unopened buds were so shiny and remind me of little duck heads.
This is image is a stack of 7 images in an attempt to get the flower buds in focus while blurring the background. If you look at the image closely you can see a lot of artifact from the process. In general, it does an amazing job but there are limitations to what it can do. The problem is that in areas where there is a flower bud in the foreground, the in focus image of the flower bud in the background has this blurry blob of the closer bud along its margins.
