This cicada was perched vertically on a cement wall, at the Montreal Botanical Garden. It had rained previously, which is why it was still a bit wet.
Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Yongnuo YN-560 III. Probably around 1:1. Five-shot handheld focus stack, with EXIF from the first shot.

Branches, penned together... I have no idea for what purpose. Possibly to be cut and turned into woven fences... Ashwellthorpe Wood managed by the Woodland Trust, who I am sure know what they are doing.

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.

Cute little smoke stack sticking out of the little "Over the Blue" cafe where I had lunch outside in the little garden out the back.
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.
Raspberry -Foodscape
Another "foodscape" (my take on food photography) This is a focus stacked macro of a raspberry focus bracketed on my Olympus OM-D E-M5Mk2 with 26mm of "macro tube" attached and stacked in PS6 (this increases the depth of field, so more is in focus)
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!
Three wooden spools of thread stacked with a straight pin and buttons.

A view of the disused chimney stack at Broadlie Works in Neilston. Taken from the back of the factory, which was formerly a bleach mill dating back to 1792, and then converted to a split leather tannery in 1947, the Clyde Leather Co Ltd.
Another bash at the slime mould eighty shot stack this time, trying for just a bit more depth of field. A bit hard when the top the the slime mould is abut the size of a pin head.
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.
