A friend and I took a walk down the vault road in Violet to catch the sunset. You can also see the moon, which is the bright white streak in the sky.
I made this time stack with 268 photos.
236 photos merged into one image. Not a great sunset, but it's certainly more interesting as a time stack. The amount of mosquitoes that followed me to get to this location probably could have picked me up and carried me away. Luckily I had a bug net, jeans and a hoodie. The only other defense I could have used would be a pair of gloves and a flame thrower.
Update! (photo info is at the end)
It's been a while since I've uploaded anything, because I've been busy working on my "Best of 2014" timelapse video. It's almost done, I just need to finish up the music for it. I've also been time slicing like a mad man, creating time slice timelapses. I'll probably post a that video once I get a dozen or so clips, but it takes for ever to process. Some of the time slice frames take more than 10 minutes just to slice, and that's only one frame (I usually do 30 frames per second or faster) I'm currently working on my fourth time slice lapse, and if all goes well, the guy that wrote the time slicing script will write a script to automate the time slice lapse process as well, which would speed things up and make my life much easier. I've also been busy shooting, lately I've been doing timelapses of myself making spirals in the snow on the lake. Last night I light painted one, and it looks like it's going to be a good one, but I'm pretty far behind, so it will be a while before you get to see it. Another thing that's been holding me back is storage. My Drobo (a NAS storage system) is pretty much full, so I need to buy another one before I can unload all my SD cards. I've been deleting and moving around some stuff to make room when I need it. Always keep one sd card free in case a good photo op comes up.

I faded in the first 307 photos and faded out the last 200 photos using the ultra streaks preset.
The stars draw concentric rings around Polaris, making the night sky resemble a giant vinyl record, while planes fly overhead in straighter lines, looking like scratches on a record.
I made this time stack by combining 118 photos into one image.
119 photos merged into one image using the lighter layer-blending mode in photoshop. I'm not sure why some trees get left in fields, but I like the look. I would think fields for crops would be easier to manage without any trees, but maybe there's a good reason for it. It makes for an interesting photo, but I doubt that's the reason for leaving a tree there.
Another stack that's very similar to one I've done before. I think I like this one a little better because of the little pond with reflections of the stars. The other one I did was in the winter. www.flickr.com/photos/matt_molloy/13728281895/

234 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I haven't had many photo opportunities between work and weather lately. January was a fairly slow month for photography, but I did manage to sneak in a sunset at the end of the month. I hope the weather clears up soon, so I can go play in the snow and take some photos while I'm at it.

Lines in the sky "drawn" by airplanes (contrails) "paint" the sky along with regular clouds in the distance.

A lovely sunset over the ocean shot from a beach in Inverness, Nova Scotia. This was made from160 photos merged into one using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, then digitally mirrored. That's why the sun is shaped like a heart. It looked more like a Q-tip before mirroring it.

This place is simply amazing!!!
I had spent several different visits at Bisti and had confused this location with Bisti, originally. I finally sorted out this was it's own location and made a plan to visit it on my time earlier this year in New Mexico.
The drive to this location is about 15 or so miles on dirt and rutted roads. The last part is on basically jeep trails to where you park. I thankfully had good weather and was able to access the trailhead area in my campervan (saved me some hiking). While getting familiar with the place, thinking I'd have it all to myself (remember I was in the middle of nowhere badlands New Mexico), I came across a tourist photography group with a Navajo guide. So much for solitude :)
Around sunset the group left, so at that point I was excited to be there alone. Well, out pops another guy, a more serious photographer like me and we both joked with thought the other was with that group LOL Thankfully he hung around, as I ended up realizing I had forgotten my headlamp and would have had to hike back to the van, 2 miles, without much light. The photographer and I were both there to shoot some of these formations and then work on edits with Milkyway compositions. This photographer did this alot, so I learned some really great tips as we talked. We ended up shooting this area and Bisti the next day together.
This shot is of 2 different shots and time. It is comprised of stacked sunset shots (I believe about 5 exposures) and then a separate milkyway shots that I tried to stack and compose. I joined both shots into Photoshop, and then had to do a lot of masking and fringe cleanup. Final touches using Lightroom and it's new layers masking tool for subjects and sky (what a huge add)

I made this time stack by combining 297 photos into one image. I also went back and added in the dark parts of the swan(s) because they got erased by the lighter parts of the water after stacking the photos.
Getting closer to the image I envisioned, but not quite there yet. Once again, the light painting I did is over exposed. I turned the ISO way down compared to the last one, but my light was still too bright. (testing on site before shooting is how I should figure out the optimal camera settings) I did get the alignment right this time, so I was happy about that. Once I get the light painting figured out, all I'll need is a clear night.
I made this time stack by combining 184 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
My first crack at photostacking using Adobe CS4 Photoshop. I was lucky enough this little stingless bee (about 1 cm long) stood still for more than 2 minutes after visiting a small whitish flower as if it was trying to rest. Was able to get 7 different shots using my Nikon 105 mm f.28 reversed with 50 mm lens.
Above image is a stack of 5 shots, then cropped and processed using CS4. See the other image below of the same bee I was following the entire time at my backyard garden.
ID of this bee is appreciated. I'm guessing its a species of Megachile, (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) but I'm not so sure.
Taken with my Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, stack of 81 manual 1:1 macro shots at f/5.6 with ISO 400 for half of the pictures and ISO 200 for the other half to compensate for the extra length of light. I did miss the focus on a very small section, however, so 82 photos would have been better.
Stacked with Zerene stacker.
The entire knob is about the size of my thumb nail.
My knees in a bog and hand-holding for a 5 image photostack is not the ideal way to take pics but these wasp spiders are so special. This is the ventral aspect and prey may just be visible.
Newburgh is a large stone-built village on the wide sandy estuary of the River Ythan, close to the point at which it is bridged by the A975. he origins of the village date back to 1261 when a charter was drawn up by Lord Sinclair establishing a settlement here. A little later it acquired the Chapel of the Holy Rood and St Thomas the Martyr in Inch Road. The Chapel is long gone, but the Udny Family Mausoleum which formed part of it can still be seen in the Holyrood Cemetery. art of the name of the original chapel also survives, in the imposing Holyrood Chapel on Main Street. This was originally built as a school in 1838, and the clock tower was added in 1892. The village itself developed as a centre for salmon fishing, and later as a small port. By the 1850s there was a steady traffic of boats and barges calling at the newly built quays on the River Ythan. And by the 1880s there was a small fleet of sailing vessels based here, alongside a dozen resident fishing boats. A little earlier, in 1828, Newburgh became the first port in Scotland to have a Lifeboat Station, then called the Shipwreck Institution. The RNLI, as the Institution became, based a lifeboat in Newburgh until 1961, when it moved to Peterhead. In the 1950s Newburgh remained an active port with quays and a mill. Much of its economic base had declined by 1970, but the corner was turned - as with so many settlements in north east Scotland - with the discovery of oil under the North Sea. Newburgh, with its attractive setting and within commuting range of both Aberdeen and Peterhead rapidly became a desirable place to live. Today's Newburgh is an active and thriving settlement. At its centre is the Udny Arms Hotel providing accommodation, great views over the River Ythan, and an excellent restaurant. Beyond the River Ythan lies one of the oddest landscapes in Britain. Forvie Sands comprises an area of dunes some three miles long and a mile wide. At its heart are the remains of Forvie Kirk, built in the 1100s. This is all that can now be seen of the village of Forvie, once a thriving community but buried by shifting dunes during a storm in 1413. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/newburgh/newburgh/
Sands of Forvie Nature Reserve: www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/forvie-national... Shifting sands and seabirds The stark beauty of empty sand dunes is complemented by the call of eider ducks, wafting like gentle gossiping across the Ythan estuary. With the constant shifting of the dunes, layers of history have come and gone, revealing the half buried remains of a twelfth century church. Bird life is plentiful and you can watch the summer acrobatics of diving terns or the determined stabbing of the carrot-coloured beaks of wading oystercatchers.
First time trying star trails, the moon was bright just up to the left so did reduce the stars i could capture, This is 96 images stacked in Photoshop with aircraft lights removed. Light pollution from Louth just in the bottom of the image.
Shortly after I started this timelapse the clouds parted and revealed the sun, which left the majority of frames overexposed in places. So I tried stacking this one using the darken blending mode and ended up with this. I painted the highlights of the seagull back in because it looked funny without them.
Once again, I used the script from advancedstacker.com to automate the process. I was happy to find the darken blending mode is now part of the script, because in the early version I was using, I had to modify it myself to get that option. Now there's all kinds of fun stuff to play with, and the creator is taking suggestions on what to add. Gotta love it!
A small storm cloud passed by as the sun started to set creating the orange patch of cloud trails on the left. It was interesting watching it, as it seemed to stay in one spot, but had a trail of turbulent vapors moving the opposite direction the other clouds were moving, which kind of gave the illusion that it was moving with them. (upon further inspection I found it's mostly stationary)

Star trails over the fields of Burnt Hills, with a little mist in the distance.
I usually shoot night timelapse so the stars are over exposed, to better show the Milky way, or just so you can see more stars overall. This makes the timelapse video a little more interesting, but it causes problems when stacking. Mainly the lack of colour in the star trails. (which I'd really like to have in any star trail photo) One of these nights I'm going to try camera settings that will give me good colour in the star trails. (I haven't really done this yet because I like to get more "bang for my buck" and bringing the exposure down will likely make the timelapse no good as a video, hopefully I'm wrong there)

This is a time stack that I mirrored and manipulated a bit.
I made it from 336 photos, plus one or two for myself and the flashlight.
A sunset over Morton Bay and Whitefish Lake from the outlook at Rock Dunder.
It's only a 5 minute drive from the place I just moved to, so I'm sure I'll get to know it well. There's 3 trails, the longest brings you to this great view of the Rideau Waterway from the highest point in the area. It's 84 meters (275 feet) above Morton Bay, which is nothing compared to the mountains to the east, but since this area is relatively flat, it makes for a great view.
I made this timestack by combining 419 photos into one image.
I watched the clouds fly by in the wind while I was shooting this timelapse, but stacking all the photos gives an even better view of the wind. I love the new perspectives timelapse photography brings to the table.
Near the end of the timelapse a few park rangers came up to me and asked what I was doing, and if I had any guns in my vehicle. I think they thought I was hunting, but the only thing I was hunting was clouds, and a few flies that were annoying me. Luckily I was done my time-lapse by this point so I went on my way.

I found this little Nut Weevil inside the moth trap on morning. I was very excited as I love a weevil, and so whilst it was still, I managed to do a couple of handheld stacks and aligned, blended and edited them inside Photoshop
More help needed on ID - growing under beech in 3 distinct clumps - too low to get shot of gills and I wasn't going to pull any up just to see. The maturation of the cap suggests brown rollrim but I'm not convinced.
A bunch of icebergs on the move, aside from a few that have settled on the ocean floor. This is a timelapse I shot at Long Point in Twillingate, Newfoundland. 321 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop automated with this script advancedstacker.com
This beautiful jumping spider was found by my cousin in the grandparents garden. When I saw it, I was really amazed, because I have never seen jumping spider which looks like that... Because of my broken lens I was not able to take photos of it, so I kept it about three weeks like a pet. I fed it with small springtails, stinkbugs... And then my lens was repaired, so I was able to take some photographs of this wonderful spider... When I take about 1hundred shots he just jumped away and I said good luck...
When I got back home from holiday, I sent this jumping spider photos to Lithuanian arachnologist, which indicated it as a new species in Lithuania. So I was really lucky...
I took these photos with CanonEOS40D photo camera + extension tubes + CanonEF100mmMacroUSM lens + Kenko close up filter
Please have a view of full size... Thanks :)
Stapelia. Not sure of the species. Has that distinct rotting corpse aroma that has earned Stapelia the common name of carrion flowers.

Star trails circle around the north star (top left) and the lines straighten out as you look to the east (right side) if you could see the view to the right (out of frame) the lines would start to curve again, in the opposite direction as the stars appear to circle the south pole.
I made this time stack by combining 356 photos into one image. I also took out a few airplane trails, and faded in the beginning and end of the timelapse so the star trails don't start and end abruptly.
