22 images stacked at 200mm of Comet Neowise. I'm still very early in my development as far as processing for DSOs, so this is a little rough, but it's a lot of fun pulling out detail that you get from stacking.
2.5 seconds for each exposure with the Tamron 70-200 on the Nikon D850.
Last night, 8/12/16, in City of Los Angeles, during two hours, I saw 27 Perseids, one sporadic meteor. and a UFO (UFO was most likely a glint off a space craft, lasting about 0 .6 sec. mag = 0).

In 1966, this is what the sky looked like to my eye at any instant, during the Leonid meteor swarm, 150,000 per hour. A memory of a lifetime!

Stacked rocks in Iceland. Not sure exactly where this tourist "fad" started, but we saw them several places in Iceland. On the good side, at least in this case, the Icelandic environment can be "harsh", and the lifespan of a stack itself could probably be measured in days. Maybe hours.
Either way, I thought it made for a good picture.
Photo of the stacks of the main branch of the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, through what used to be exterior windows. (The library was opened in 1898.)
This photo was taken from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's dinosaur exhibit room.
Note that the ceilings here (and the floors of each story above them) are made from very thick greenish frosted glass which allows the light from each floor above to help light the floor below. The two lower-right windows show some of the large double-sided bookcases.
The windows have window seats where two patrons seem to be hanging out, away from the action in the main part of the library.
Handheld focus stack of 4 images. Shot with XT3 and Venus Laowa 60mm f2.8. Didn't have a flash with me so its a bit more grainy than I would have preferred.
Please view large because this image doesn't respond well to sharpening, which flickr does on smaller sizes.
Anyone that knows me, knows I am a dyed in the wool Electro-Motive Diesel fan, especially the SD70's, with few exceptions. So when I was called out of the hotel in Chicago, Wednesday night, and my conductor handed me our train profile, I got a little excited.
We were called for the I16602 out of CPKC's Schiller Park Yard, and according to the profile it was going to be lead by CP 7043 with KCS 4030 as a DPU on the rear of the 45 car double stack train.
Right away I noticed a problem with having KCS 4030 on the rear of the train. Upon arriving at the yard office, that yes that is the way CPKC had planned to run the train.
Phone calls were made to address the problem, and eventually it was decided to take the DP off the rear and just run the train with both locomotives on the front of the train.
Now to me things were really getting exciting, with a pair of EMD SD70AC variants in the lead. Even cooler to me was the fact that one of each were in CPKC's predecessors paint, Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern
Anymore in CP's later years finding a EMD on the roster became pretty hard with the exception of four axle units as CP had been buying General Electric locomotives almost exclusively for years as power for road trains, so to have a EMD leading let alone a SD70 version is still somewhat rare.
Finally after shuffling some stuff around we departed and had a decent trip home to North Baltimore, OH. After pulling up to the crew change pad, I headed in tied up and took off out the door with photographing the train after departing the yard.
Heading east from North Baltimore I finally found a place that would work, and pulled off the side of the road, and waited about 40 minuets later for the train to show up.
In this early afternoon view CSX train I16602 is eastbound passing a recently harvested bean field as it approaches the interlocking at Godsend, outside of Fostoria, OH. with CP 4073 a EMD SD70ACU leading KCS 4030 a SD70ACe pulling approximately 6400 feet of double stacks bound for Canada.

I am not so thrilled about this image. This is the first stacked star trail I've done, for a reason. I personally don't like stacked star trails, so I've only used single exposure star trails in the past. But, I wanted to give the method a try, and, here, in the location under the stars, I wanted to see ALL the stars in the star trail, and that was only possible via the stacking method.
As a star trail shooter, I completely see and recognize the validity and need for stacking images for night shooting. I've seen some stacked star trails that blow me away and would not be possible to get star trails in the single exposure method. But still, personally, I like star trails from a single exposure better.
The other factor, I cranked the ISO up for this, so I could have set the exposures to not capture so many stars.
I think as an abstract art form, this has merit. But, traditional sense of beauty seems lost to me.
The different colors of the star streaks are from the "temperature" of light that the stars burn at. Just like a candle gives and orange light, and a gas stove burns blue- the stars in our sky shine all different sorts of colored light.

On the south side of Morro Rock is a large field of rock shards of various sizes that have fallen from Morro Rock. Visitors have stacked the rock shards. There must have been at least two dozen stacks of various heights in an area of about 200 square yards. The stack on the right was one of the tallest. 26 stones high plus several extra smaller stones used for leveling.

In early October my wife and I took a week to explore the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. We saw a wide variety of nature and small towns. To see more pictures of our fifth day out, read my blog post Olympic Peninsula: Rialto Beach to Hoh Rain Forest in my blog Batteredsuitcase.net

30 Images edited in Lightroom then stacked in Photoshop to create a ND effect without using an ND filter.
Strobist: Red gelled flash inside, naked flash outside, around 8 exposures @ 3 minutes each stacked in Startrails.
This is my first go at stacking multiple images in Photoshop, using the 'mean' method, (7 images).
Given the conditions on the day, I'm really happy with the result I've achieved and I'm fairly close to the image I had pre-visualised.
There is plenty of room for improvement, but as a first step, I'm very happy with it.
