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
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.

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...
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.

Focus stacking from 15 shots using DslrDashboard and CombineZP

Three wooden spools of thread stacked with a straight pin and buttons.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0. Background texture added in Photoshop.
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.

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.

Resolution lens test with the Olympus OM Zuiko Auto Macro 38mm f/2.8 @f/4
Ratio 6:1
Stacked from 324 images, step length 0.005mm.
Sony A7R III, 42 MP
For me an excellent lens, it is sharp up to the corners.
Not bad for a lens from 1980.
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.
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)
Five full-size cars have been stacked on top of one another, then perched atop a 20-foot-high cedar stump. This monumental work of art is called "Trans Am Totem" located on the edge of False Creek, not far from Science World.
