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.

321 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I was hoping the steam from the power plant would light up like this www.flickr.com/photos/matt_molloy/8307166761/ but it didn't. It was a decent sunset none the less.
364 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I really wanted to get closer to this barn, but I didn't want to bother anyone asking for permission, so I shot it from the side of the road. I was stirring up mosquitoes as I walked through the long grass in shorts. I gave about a half dozen of them a good meal while I set up as quick as I could, then I ran back to the car to watch the show.

Nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist) - these are five seed heads of this most attractive flowering plant. The final image is a blend from 21 images done in Photoshop. The process is Photostacking.
Nigella damascena is an annual garden flowering plant, belonging to the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It is native to southern Europe, north Africa and southwest Asia, where it is found on neglected, damp patches of land.

This time stack was made with 320 photos. I stacked the last 160 photos as I usually do, and I stacked the first 160 using the long streaks preset from this time stacking script, advancedstacker.com
I was a little late getting set up for this timelapse, but the end of the sunset produced some nice colours.
I made this time stack by combining 152 photos into one image.
I was happy to make it to the rooftop for sunset, even though I was a little late. (you can read about that in the description of the previous photo)
It was a bit of a struggle, and the payoff wasn't great, but I still felt somewhat victorious, and also very hungry, so I headed back to my hostel, making a quick stop at a street vendor to pick up dinner - fried chicken and sticky rice, with sweet and spicy sauce. One of my favorite street meals that you can find all over Thailand.
I made this time stack by combining 200 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I used. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
I should also note that I used the "mean" stacking mode, instead of "maximum" which I usually use. The reason is because the clouds didn't make very nice trails (sometimes this happens when there's two layers of clouds) but the "mean" stacking mode gives you an average of all the photos, producing smoother trails, but they also tend to look a little ghostly.

Sunset over a small marsh. It looks like the marsh has expanded, and killed some of the trees around the perimeter. Wind and snow has bunched up the cattails around these dead trees, reminding me of scenes in horror films where the forest comes alive.
I made this time stack by combining 220 photos into one image.
I noticed this small Ferris wheel while I was photographing the lanterns at Nawarat bridge, and thought I'd head that way to get some photos of it. Lucky for me, there was a street food village surrounding it (I was pretty hungry at the time) and even though it was around midnight, it was still open.
I went for some of my go-to favorites, Gyoza - Japanese style fried dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, and a cocoa yen to wash it down (yen is the Thai word for cold) it's like iced coffee, if you replaced the coffee with hot cocoa.
I made this time stack by combining 47 photos into one image. (using the mean stack mode in photoshop) Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I used. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc

Please download and use these open source images for your own purposes. If you do, please reference Macroscopic Solutions.
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.
