Handheld. Not a total success as the 8 shots were short (or my camera moved) but this one turned out ok.

"slink mid foot"
#Revanche
didn't expect to ever be able to stack one of these
actually found two of these relatively not moving on a wall - this is one of them (and the wall)

A Slinky is a toy pre-compressed helical spring invented by Richard James.
It can perform a number of tricks, including travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum,
In 1943, Richard James, a naval mechanical engineer stationed at the William Cramp and Sons shipyards in Philadelphia, was developing springs that could support and stabilise sensitive instruments aboard ships in rough seas.
James accidentally knocked one of the springs from a shelf, and watched as the spring "stepped" in a series of arcs to a stack of books, to a tabletop, and to the floor, where it re-coiled itself and stood upright.
James's wife Betty later recalled, "He came home and said, 'I think if I got the right property of steel and the right tension; I could make it walk.'"
James experimented with different types of steel wire over the next year, and finally found a spring that would ‘walk’.
Betty was dubious at first, but changed her mind after the toy was fine-tuned and neighbourhood children expressed an excited interest in it.
She dubbed the toy Slinky; meaning "sleek and graceful”.
On COLOURS...
Light and colour can influence how people perceive the area around them. Different light sources affect how the colours of walls and other objects are seen. Specific hues of colours seen under natural sunlight may vary when seen under the light from an incandescent (tungsten) light-bulb: lighter colours may appear to be more orange or "brownish" and darker colours may appear even darker.
Light and the colour of an object can affect how one perceives its positioning. If light or shadow, or the colour of the object, masks an object's true contour (outline of a figure) it can appear to be shaped differently than it really is.
Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of three-dimensional shape.
The colour of an object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion. In particular, the trajectories of objects under a light source whose intensity varies with space are more difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source.
Carl Jung is most prominently associated with the pioneering stages of colour psychology. Jung was most interested in colours’ properties and meanings, as well as in Art’s potential as a tool for psychotherapy.
Colour has long been used to create feelings of cosiness or spaciousness. However, how people are affected by different colour-stimuli varies from person to person.
There is evidence that colour preference may depend on ambient temperature. People who are cold prefer warm colours like red and yellow while people who are hot prefer cool colours like blue and green.
A few studies have shown that cultural background has a strong influence on colour preference. These studies have shown that people from the same region regardless of race will have the same colour preferences.
I'm ALWAYS fascinated by COLOUR!
Hope this brings a smile again, have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Evening Sea Stacks. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Sea stacks and surf on an overcast evening, Crescent City, California.
The circumstances of this photograph were just a bit unusual, and it is not quite the photograph that I thought I’d be making when I recently visited the coastline at Crescent City. Because the days are so long right now, we decided to go out for an early dinner, planning to head back out into the field to photograph an hour or so before sunset. The plans was not totally solid, but I had this spot in mind as one of the possibilities, as it more or less in Crescent City. We finished dinner and it was still too early for the photography I had in mind, so we did a bit of exploring before we ended up back at this post.
I had photographed these very rocks a couple of years ago, and this time I was imagining something with sunset light, the colorful ocean and sky, and perhaps some dramatic shadows. The conditions had something else in mind. To the north a line of clouds was arriving, likely the result of a weak incoming cold front. When it became apparent that the brilliantly colorful sunset I imagined was not to be (though something else interest did eventually happen) I rethought the mood I wanted to suggest and began to see the appeal in this framing of the scene, focusing on the foreground island with the more distant sea stacks closer to the top of the frame.

I've missed a few Sunset Sundays...so this one is a two for one. Its a sunset and its the stacks!

Even though this was shot at f/8, both the wildflowers a few feet from me and the mountain dozens of miles from me are in focus. How? Click here to find out: traveljapanblog.com/ashland/2014/03/my-first-not-entirely...
Taking 100 x 2s frames from: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/48871130426/in/photost... at the height of the fire sky, I stacked them in Photoshop and used lighten to create this image.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic 'Redo". A redo of my original "stacks" image of forks, this time from the other end.

Three wooden spools of thread stacked with a straight pin and buttons.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0. Background texture added in Photoshop.
NS 282 flies up the mainline as the DPUs of NS 712 whine in full dynamics slowing the train as the two trains travers CP Green on the Atlanta North District.
When I arrived at this field the area was pitch black. When the sun's light first appeared, hay stacks dotted the landscape and were the first to greet me.
I spent six hours yesterday on Conception Bay, most of the time in a Zodiac with my wife, her sister and brother and their spouses. It was a fine day to be on the water. We circled the largest island in the bay, Bell Island. Among its many attractions are these, at the southern end. If you look closely, you can see a small motorboat about a third of the way from the left side. I would guess the stacks are about 60 metres tall.

Pose inspired by work by Barrie Spence with Lilith Etch here on Flickr, though I took a somewhat different approach in lighting. Barrie was also kind enough to answer a question of mine about a similar image he has with Lilith. Thank you Barrie, you continue to be an inspiration.
Definitely also one where the proportions of the model will make a real difference, as well as the model compared to the cube. Fortunately this model also has good flexibility.

This here is a 9 image handheld focus stack of a tiny Aphid (Species unknown) using CombineZP, I hear you asking why CombineZP when you have just purchased Zerene?
Well it seems that when I add Kenko extension tubes to my MP-E, the resulting vignetting throws out the stack in Zerene Stacker, this is the only explanation I can find, if the image has no vignetting then the Zerene program works fine, the vignetting is caused by the Kenko extension tubes as they have not been designed for a ful frame sensor, I have included one of the stack images in comments to illustrate this. However, the stack worked fine in CombineZP, has anyone come across this issue in Zerene and if so are there any solutions?
I know I could buy other makes of extension tubes to overcome this or even use my 1.4x extender. I was wondering if there might be any Zerene settings that need adjusting? Oh and tried both PMax and DMap, DMap was a bit better, but I think the dark lines of the vignetting are confusing the program.
