While shooting this timelapse, and admiring the view, I had no idea that this was a man made lake. This was just a river winding through the valley before the dam was built.
"The Kaeng Krachan Dam is a multi-purpose hydroelectric dam in the Kaeng Krachan District of Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. The dam impounds the Phetchaburi River. It was officially opened in 1966 by King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit.
Kaeng Krachan Dam is an earth dam. It is 760 m (2,490 ft) long and 58 m (190 ft) high. Its reservoir has a maximum storage capacity of 710,000,000 m3 (2.5×1010 cu ft) with a catchment area of 46.5 km2 (18.0 sq mi).
The dam is considered multi-purpose, supporting electricity generation, irrigation, water supply, fisheries and recreation activities. The islands in the reservoir were local hills prior to their submergence." -Wikipedia
I made this time stack by combining 250 photos into one image via the mean stacking mode in photoshop.
Processor part of the FreeStyle Libre blood glucose monitoring system. This processor controls also the NFC communication as well as the actual blood glucose sensor readout. The four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) is located inside the white enclosure of the monitoring system. 52 photos are stacked (first stacked 6 sub-stacks) using Zerene Stacker. The full width of the photo is approx. 15mm.
Camera: Nikon D850, ISO 64. Lens: AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D @ f/11 + 68mm Kenko extension tubes. Manual controlled microrail @ step-size 100um. Natural light.
Remarks:
- It is not easy to open the sensors enclosure.
- The black square part on the photo is the processor from Texas Instruments. The other components are some capacitors and a resistor. At the right of the photo a part of the battery powering the complete monitoring system.
- In the hole at the right, most likely, two individual stacked board sections are visible which gives a four-layer PCB design.
- The gold-color 'circles' (with a hole inside) are so-called VIA's which interconnect the PCB-trackes across the PCB-layers.

I can't help but wonder what happened to these trees. It looks like the area flooded and eventually killed them while the cattails took over, but really I have no idea what actually happened.
I made this time stack by combining 100 photos into one image. I usually use the "maximum" blending mode, but this time "mean" worked out better.
This passenger seems a bit perplexed.
Can we help him find his photo?
I can see Alison's photo but not yours, let's think who we can ask to help .......
Colletes hederae Schmidt & Westrich 1993

Efeu-Seidenbiene / Ivy Bee
Merkmale / Morphologic features:
Was ist zu sehen: Teilausschnitt des Kopfes. Feinstruktur der Kutikula. Gefiederte Haare, charakteristisch für alle Bienen. Die haare sind jedoch in großer Vielfalt bei unterschiedlichen Arten ausgeprägt. Unterer Bildrand: Basis der Fühler. Darüber am oberen Bildrand (in Richtung Hinterleib) drei Ozellen auf dem Kopf. Zwischen Fühlern und mittlerer Ozelle verläuft ein Scheitelkamm. Dieser ist bei einigen Bienenarten ein gutes Art-Kennmerkmal.

What we can see here: Details from the head. Fine structure of the cuticle. Feathery hairs typical of all bees but developed in all sorts of shade. Lower rim of photo: base of antennae. Above at the upper rim of photo (in direction towards the abdomen) three ocelli. Between the antennae, there is a crest. In some bee species this is indicative for species determination.
Funddatum /Collection Date:
17.09.2019: - colony showing full flight activity.
09.10.2019: Latest two females found crawling at nesting site during rain shower. Entrance holes were still visible but partially obscured, possibly by weather erosion.
25.10.2019: even though weather was sunny, and the slope of the nesting site was fully sun exposed, no bee was seen. Neither, any of the entrance holes could be identified.
21.09.2020 A sunny, warm day, but no evidence of a thriving colony, no evidence of a single bee at the nesting site! No nest entrances. A dead pine tree had shed bark onto the nesting site. But that bark was removed about a month previous to bee-hatching time. At the Schauenburg-Ivy bush two females and one male were observed on 21st Sept. 2020. One female possessed two parasitic larvae (triungulins) of the species Stenoria analis . Was the colony killed by these parasites or was it the storm-shed bark on the nests keeping the ground to moist? Or was it a nearby hornets nest....?

252 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. This is the second timelapse I shot that evening, after this one... www.flickr.com/photos/matt_molloy/9592981600/
After playing around last weekend with some £5 extension tubes why not try again. Found this cheeky spider in the garden. Made up a couple of mini flash box diffusers from a coffee box and grease proof paper. Two flashes with wireless triggers and an iPhone torch to uplight. a quick youtube lesson in photostacking and a bit of editing in lightroom. Shot using an old 35-70mm 2.8 as it has manual aperture control at f11 (with stacking).

Since this is the main river though Bangkok, it gets a lot of traffic. You can watch all kinds of different boats going up and down the river, at any time, day or night. (I'll be posting some night shots later)

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!

I was late for this sunset, which meant I only got to see the last part, when the light shifts to the red end of the spectrum, but that also meant that the reds are a little brighter than my usual sunset time stacks, starting when the sun is on, or even above the horizon. It also meant that I didn't get many photos before the light was gone, but I was shooting with my new super telephoto lens, which decreases the time it takes for clouds to move across the frame, compared to the wide angle lens I often use. (I think it's because there's less and less distance for the clouds to cross as your focal length increases, if my telephoto lens shows a few kilometers of horizon from one side of the frame to the other, then my wide angle would show several kilometers, so the clouds don't actually move faster, they just appear to, because there's less sky to travel the more you zoom in on the sky)
I made this time stack by combining 30 photos into one image, using the mean stacking mode in Photoshop.
