It was pretty windy this day, and there were some nice clouds, so I set out to capture trees blowing in the wind, because I knew if I shot a timelapse and combined the photos, it would give the scene a painted look. It worked out more or less like I imagined, and I'm looking forward to more windy days to make more images like this.
I made this time stack by combining 485 photos into one image.

Melanempis scoliiformis, Bottle Green Madagascan Cuckoo, specimen collected by xxx in Madagascar
Almost all of the bees native to the large and geographically isolated island of Madagascar are endemic (as are most of the flora and the rest of the fauna for that matter), occurring only on that Island and not on the mainland of Africa. One of several endemic bee genera of Madagascar, Melanempis consists of 5 described species all of which are cuckoo bees. The Bottle Green Madagascan Cuckoo is the largest of the lot and very unusual among the bees in being green but not metallic. All other bees with a green exoskeleton in this book (for example xxx) are a metallic green, with the color derived in a similar way to that obtained with a prism. The present example has a green color to the exoskeleton that is based on pigment. Oddly enough, similar dark green cuticle is found in a range of wasps but only on Madagascar. We know of no reason for this added oddity on the Island.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
-- Emily Dickinson

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.

Costus malortianus is native to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. I liked the arrangement of spent flowers in this inflorescence.

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.
This is a seed of Digitalis (foxglove). Its real size is less than 1 mm. The seed was laying on a microscope slide (a white paper was fixed on its lower side). The seed was enlightened on two sides with a 5200°K bulb wrapped with a white cloth. The camera (Canon EOS 60D) was fixed onto a microscope (Leitz Diaplan x25) and 15 photos were taken at different focus. The 15 photos were combined into a single 1 with CombineZM. The white balance was adjusted in DPP using the white paper as neutral grey. The color seen on this picture (with a calibrated screen) matches the natural color. The alveoli present on the seed coat are visible.
My kids poured some old milk and water into a seedling starter pot of potting soil and we keep getting different types of mushrooms appearing. This week is the yellow ones.

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.

180 photos merged into one image. The sun setting over the giant spiral I made on Lake Ontario a little while ago. Gotta love those colours!
I have not been out much for various reasons, so I spent an evening playing around with a branch of clematis seeds that sits on my desk. This is a photostack of three images. If you pixel peep, you will see I should probably have used 5 or even 10 images. the background is a bit busy, but it is what it is.
This photo is based on 18 stacked images captured using a microrail with 500um step-size. Lens: AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D and 36mm Kenco extender ring. Nikon D800 settings: fully manual: 1/200 sec @ f/22, ISO 100. Flash SB900 at 1/32th power.
The raw images are first converted to Tiff (Lightroom CC) and stacked using Zerene Stacker. Post-processed: Lightroom CC.
