This is a hand held bracketed 5 frames (0.3ev shift) shot, then made 'Super Resolution' in Photoshop following loosely on these guidelines;

petapixel.com/2015/02/21/a-practical-guide-to-creating-su...

The results kinda speak for themselves, it's like a handheld hdr pixelshifted shot with a K-1 (and not a K-1mkii).

Note this doesn't always work out this well, sometimes the alignment process is too skewy to make it come out sharp and defined like this, but it's a simple thing to try, and it doesn't involve a lot of setup time on the camera, just point and shoot and move on :)

Note: my images are processed to appear correct on a calibrated, professional grade colour-accurate monitor set to Adobe RGB output / 6500 K temperature / gamma 2.2. Many consumer grade screens (particularly mobile phone screens) at default settings will display these images with too much saturation and contrast, so please bear this in mind when viewing on such devices.

Some years ago, this was one of the scenes I shot on my first roll of medium-format film.

Now we emulate the same kind of look in Snapseed...

Noctilucent Clouds, around 1am - Crieff across Strathearn from Auchterarder

A total 2 minutes of exposure to see what the NLCs and ordinary clouds would get up to over that kind of timescale.

I first stumbled across this composition a couple of years ago - a very strong sense of depth - and have been meaning to update my "take" on the scene ever since.

So, passing by the area again, I called in and made this long exposure, black+white, pixel-shifted focus-stack image of it.

Receding layers of rock (till/diamicton and Catterline lava+psammite+quartzite+feldspar conglomerate) leading the eye toward Todhead Point lighthouse in the distance.

The front of the Sexton's cottage (left) and Church House (right). It was built in 1537and originally had a thatch roof. There are 7 octagonal granite columns.

The Sexton maintained the church buildings and graveyard.

Church House was used to raise funds for the church by providing ale, refreshments and shelter. Ale may even had been brewed. In the 18th century it was used as a almshouse and in the 19th century as a workhouse with school on upper floor.

Focus Shift + Pixel Shift

This is the one they chose.

I was asked to test the new 3.0 firmware and make a few images using the newly combined features of Pixel shift and Focus Shift. During the testing process, I was asked to make an image that Japan would end up using to launch the new firmware. I was incredibly honored that they chose this one.

This was captured as 1,600 NEF files... merged using NX Studio to 50 NEFX (180,000,000 pixel) files... then stacked in Helicon to a single image of about 1.09 GB. Then in Photoshop Elements, it was 'dumbed down' to the 5 MB file.
