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.
NS 1846 leads hotshot intermodal train NS 25A southbound through Arrowhead, Virginia along the NS Washington District.
First attempt at focus stacking!
I've been interested in macro photography of lately and I'm luckily in Italy at my parents' for the holidays. My father has got a couple of macro lenses lying around (this vintage Nikkor 60mm Micro AF-D f/2.8 and a Nikkor Micro DX 85mm f/3.5) and my teenage bedroom is packed with photogenic small items.
As a first attempt I then took 6 shots at this Porsche model and imported them into Photoshop. The only spot I'm not particularly happy with it's that part of bonnet at the base of the windscreen, plus the protruding ends of the back of the car. I really couldn't get them in focus well enough to make it work: especially those parts on the back, Photoshop took a shot focused on those as a shot of the background, which really messed the stack up. Had to get rid of it and make do with the remaining photos, so that's out of focus.
I'm really eager to learn more, especially given how we still pretty much live indoors, nowadays, and these are good subjects when there's no option to go in the field.
This was shot with the car on top of my Kobo e-reader and the camera on top of a couple of books, with the lens cap to prop the lens and tilt it up just enough to help the framing. Inventive, but I look forward to do this with my tripod 😂
I didn't really touch the file at all, so exposure, colour and everything else comes just out of saving the stacked RAWs into the final JPEG.
Sorry for the missing camera/lens/exposure info, I need to find a way to recover it (or re-write it) after Photoshop does its magic and spits out a file that obviously doesn't retain any of the original data.
Maybe one of the two lenses can come to the Netherlands with me for some more practice LOL
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.

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.
Ns 4097 leads the 21T west toward Hardin Mo. 3 Ge's power this train down the joint trackage with the Bnsf. This shot has always been a favorite to me but as the years go on it's starting to get treed in. Sept 5,2020.
Running hot ahead of the Northstar Commuter train, these stacks hustle through the Anoka Northstar Station with a clear shot to St. Cloud.
Waited all summer for this I have!!
I've wanted to visit here since I first clapped eyes on the location a good few months ago now......but it's been just this mountain first or that mountain while the weathers' good, which to be fair I have appreciated and enjoyed even if the legs haven't.....
ironically had to ascend upwards a little to get here too - keeps me fit I suppose!
A test to shoot macros with an ordinary 85mm lens, coupled to a 35-mm Fotodiox Pro extension tube.
Composite shot made up of 35 focus-stacked exposures, set using the built-in function on the Nikon Z7. Stack processed with Helicon Focus.
Three wooden spools of thread stacked with a straight pin and buttons.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0. Background texture added in Photoshop.
Bnsf 3989 heads west with the S-CHIMEM on the Hannibal Sub. Stacks are far and few on this line, So seeing this was kinda neat.
Sorry for my recent inactivity; I have been quite busy, but here is something very different from the rest of my stream. I have recently been experimenting with high magnification macro. This first one is a portrait of a fly found on my desk. Magnification: about 8X, 100 stacked images.
Went out to catch the Falcon 9 Heavy launch. That li'l puff on the left. But all I got was this lousy stack XD

For me an excellent lens, it is sharp up to the corners.
Not bad for a lens from 1980.
The badlands surrounding the Little Missouri River in North Dakota are a prime example of erosion's effects upon the various sedimentary layers and variably dense matierials contained within. Not only does one find different layers of sediment from the ancient sea that once existed here but also countless hoodoos and iron oxide-laden formations that were once embedded within softer materials that have long since eroded away. The cannonball concretions found in the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park are good examples, formed thousands or even millions of years ago by pore water that moved in miniscule spaces, deposting various minerals that sometimes collected around a nucleus.

I've been experimenting with different features available in my Olympus E-M1X and a handful of the Pro lenses, one of which is focus stacking. While one usually sees this technique used for macro images, it can also be quite handy for landscapes, for it takes a series of images at different focus points and ultimately blends the image set into one image with a depth of field that far exceeds the natural range of a lens. I cheated and post-processed the resulting .jpg file that is stacked and saved in-camera in addition to the original .raw files. Working with such features seemed approriate on a rather gray day at the park this past week. (2-6-2024)
This fly was in our Staffordshire garden before. I don't recall seeing one like this before and sadly, didn't know what sort of fly it was. As I guessed, somebody soon came along and advised me (on Twitter as it happened).
This is a 9-image focus stack, combined using Zerene Stacker.
[Update: I've been advised that this is a robberfly; probably Dioctria baumhaueri.]
Running from Lincoln to the village of Harby in Nottinghamshire is a pleasant cycle path much used by cyclist and dog walkers. Where the path passes under the bridge carrying the B1190 road some two miles from Skellingthorpe, the same spot where I found the teddies, there are some tags painted on the underside of the bridge. This is one, another can be seen here.
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 finally found something that stayed still long enough for me to take several photos for a focus stack.
This is the first one I've tried with the mpe65 lens since I've had it.
It's 4 images taken at 2.5x and focus stacked using Zerene.
Not the best one you'll ever see, but hey, you gotta start somewhere :P

My niece and I gathered maple leaves of every fall color up at the cabin a few weeks ago and I stacked them on the chopping block.
Like me on my new FB page, Steph Parke Photography. Just because.
