Happy Fence Friday

This focus stack turned out better, although the constant wind was giving me a hard time. Still room for improvement, and maybe next time under better environmental conditions.

We think we have Stacks of time

to tell someone we love them.

But sometimes we do not.

Lockdown has caused so much to disruption to every day lives. Here we have Staithe's crab and lobster cages all stacked up waiting to go.

This amazing stack is at Cathedral Cove Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, NZ.

Very many thanks to Nick Twyford www.flickr.com/photos/67654596@N04

I spent a number of memorable days in his company visiting various locations around Coromandel.Peninsula and out to West coast beach's

On this occasion we trekked down to Cathedral Cove from Hahei with our torches at 0430hrs hoping to find an empty beach and catch a sunrise. Unfortunately no clouds.

A magical time..

A freshly stacked pile of timber rests along the edge of a snow-covered forest under a clear Nordic sky. The cut surfaces reveal a remarkable palette of natural colors—from pale yellow and warm amber to vibrant orange and deep brown—contrasting beautifully with the white snow, blue shadows, and evergreen trees in the background. Beyond its visual appeal, the scene represents a renewable natural resource and the long tradition of sustainable forestry that shapes much of the Scandinavian landscape. In the low winter sunlight, every growth ring and texture tells a quiet story of time, climate, and life in the forest.

 

Fun fact: The orange and golden tones visible in freshly cut conifer wood often become darker and browner over time as the wood is exposed to oxygen and sunlight, a natural process known as oxidation.

1 of many stacks can be found dotted around the Pembrokeshire coast.

I used a 25 Second exposure to blur the movement in the water.

These huge sea stacks are located at Duncansby Head, the far North Easterly point of the UK mainland, very close to John o Groats. I wasn't quite prepared for just how impressive they are in real life, they are magnificent. The beach there is fantastic for foregrounds which I've tried to capture the essence of here. The day wasn't the best for photography and so I waited until there was a hint of the coming twilight before I took the shot.

The North end of the Salt Lake Valley is pictured with the Great Salt Lake and ever further mountains beyond.

This is a quick and dirty stacking of 21 lightning images. The quick part is to place the images in camera raw, reduce exposure so only lightning is clearly visible, save, then stack into Photoshop, lighten resulting image then lighten exposure as necessary to bring out the foreground.

 

This method avoids using masks for nearly each image in the stack. The downside is that some movement (leafs, clouds, cars, etc.) will not be fixed and sharp. That's the dirty side of this technique. Sometimes the images can tolerate less post-processing.

 

iLightningCam2 app was used for this night display.

my 1st try out with ' focus stack' technique

An old Norwegian myth rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack if you don't want the trolls coming.

An old Norwegian hikers rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack to mark the path.

A new Norwegian tourist rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack if you like this place and want to come back.

 

A good starting point for a series of lots of Norway photos being uploaded in the next weeks.

Inntel Hotels Amsterdam-Zaandam has been labelled the most bizarre hotel in the world by news channel CNN.

This typically Dutch building consists of a stack of almost seventy traditional detached Zaan houses in four different shades of Zaan green. Here, the present is connected to the past and tradition to innovation. Five different Zaan house types can be distinguished in the facade, from workers' houses to notary houses.

A striking exception is the blue house in the upper right corner, which refers to the painting "La Maison Bleue" by the famous French artist Claude Monet during his visit to the Zaan region in 1871.

 

Inntel Hotels Amsterdam-Zaandam is door nieuwszender CNN bestempeld als het meest bizarre hotel ter wereld.

Dit oer-Hollandse gebouw bestaat aan de buitenkant uit een opeenstapeling van bijna zeventig traditionele losse Zaanse huisjes in vier verschillende tinten Zaans groen.

Hier wordt heden verbonden met verleden en traditie met vernieuwing. Er zijn vijf verschillende Zaanse woningtypen te onderscheiden, van arbeidershuisjes tot notariswoningen.

Opvallend afwijkend is de knalblauwe woning in de rechterbovenhoek, deze verwijst naar het schilderij "La Maison Bleue" van de beroemde Franse kunstenaar Claude Monet tijdens zijn bezoek aan de Zaanstreek in 1871.

Post-sunset, blue hour view of multiple sea stacks on Bandon Beach on a clear but windy summer evening. I used a 10-stop filter to extend the exposure to get a smooth glaze on the water's surface.

The Elegug Stacks consist of two large detached pillars of limestone which in the spring provide valued nesting sites for razorbills and guillemots. Elegug is the Welsh for guillemot

Used by the Ministry of Defence as a firing range, since the 1940s, there has been relatively little human influence on this area of the south Pembroke Coast dominated by dramatic limestone cliffs.

This lack of disturbance has produced a rich, unspoilt range of habitats for wildlife (apparently the wildlife don’t mind the noise too much!

 

gestern in der Abenddämmerung habe ich die helle Tanzfliege (Empis livida) auf einem Halm in Wartestellung erwischt, so dass ein 23'er-Stack möglich war.

Die Tanzfliegen ernähren sich von anderen Insekten, die sie mit dem langen Rüssel aussagen aber auch von Blütenpollen oder Nektar. Diese helle Art hier findet sich gerne in Nähe von Gewässern auf Wiesen.

Tanzfliegen bieten ein Brautgeschenk auch der eigenen Sicherheit wegen, um nicht von der Braut verspeist zu werden.

A stack of quite a few images of the New York Cityscape from New Jersey. The intent was to shoot a time lapse of the sunset, and that turned out well, but I think a stack of the images works pretty nicely too.

Crazy Tuesday !

With a long intermodal train in tow, CP 8747 races eastward past the 10,600 ft siding at Gap, Alberta. The train has conquered the climbs of Rogers Pass and Kicking Horse Pass, so from here it's all a gentle downgrade along the Bow River to Calgary.

 

In the distance are the peaks of Mt Lawrence Grassi and Ha Ling Peak, part of Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park.
