Found this cool little spot where tradition was too stack rocks i'm assuming.

Iain and I took dad to the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Galleries during the holidays. I love this place and could spend hours just walking around it. We are incredibly lucky to have a wonderful place on our doorstep.

Negative Stacking
I used to do quite a bit of negative stacking in the enlarger in the 90s when I had my own darkroom and an enlarger that would take a 4X5 negative. I was gifted with an A4 LED light tablet for my birthday and decided to try a bit of negative stacking to see if I could reprise that technique in my repertoire.

1st attempt at focus stacking, 50mm at f2.8 to blur the background but stack of 4 images with differing focus points in an attempt to get some depth of field on the flower heads.

While walking along Sunset Beach in Vancouver, I found a lot of rocks stacked up in a weird way. Some people said they're miniature inukshuk's, but they're kind of missing the arms and legs... But they were still very interesting none the less.
Anyway, I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get more of the sky and that warm light though.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was an American steel and shipbuilding company that for much of the 20th century was one of the world's largest steel producer and shipbuilding companies. The company's roots trace to 1857 with the establishment of the Bethlehem Iron Company. Bethlehem Steel was formed in 1904 through the merger of the earlier companies, and existed through the decline of American steel manufacturing during the 1970s until its final bankruptcy in 2001.
The Steel Stacks were preserved as an Icon of the Steel Industry and are now part Arts and Entertainment center

Sea Stacks, Bandon Beach, Oregon.
This image was shot during the early morning hours. At this time, these sea stacks were perfectly lit up with an orange glow. The early morning sun was casting long shadows over the beach and the sky started to brighten up with a typical blue hue. I used a HDR image for the foreground that provided the realistic sharp image I was looking for. For the sky, I used a frame that was under exposed two stops. I composited these two images in normal blend mode in CS6. For a change, I did not overwork this image and I left it as real as I could. A lonely photographer (DW) gave a much needed scale to this image!

I have been promoting noise reduction by stacking for years, but while I was able to recommend "Starry Landscape Stacker" for MAC users, there was no easy to use Software for Windows.
This has changed lately, with the release of SEQUATOR, a very easy to use program for stacking untracked nightscapes (for noise reduction) and the best of all: It is freeware!
sites.google.com/site/sequatorglobal/home
So far, I have been using fitswork, a dedicated software for stacking tracked star images. While I learned to use it for untracked images as well, this process is painfully slow. It would therefore be immensely helpful if SEQUATOR was able to perform as beautifully as fitswork, without all the slow manual interventions needed…
Today, I was able to do my first test of SEQUATOR. To see how it performs, I did a side by side comparison with an image I already processed with fitswork.
First I had to find an untracked image sequence. I have been doing mainly tracked shots lately, but I found my Bisti Eggs image which I shot from a fixed tripod:
To get a meaningful comparison, I decided run SEQUATOR with the same preprocessed TIFFs I have used for stacking in fitswork and publish some 100% crops taken from the resulting TIFFs right out of SEQUATOR and fitswork and without further processing. SEQUATOR has several options for stacking, but I found that “Freeze Ground”, “Auto Brightness OFF” and “High Dynamic Range ON” worked best for me.
As you can see, SEQUATOR does an extremely nice job. There are no star trails and no stacking errors and I really like how the foreground and the horizon are razor sharp. Very impressive indeed!
On closer scrutiny, the SEQUATOR result has a tad more saturated colors than my fitswork resut, but selecting “High Dynamic Range ON” avoided burning the stars. The increased saturation leads to slightly increased color fringes around the brighter stars, but this would have happened with the fitswork image as well during post processing and there are techniques to reduce this effect during processing.
SEQUATOR is really easy to use and it took me less than 5 minutes to produce the result, while my normal workflow in fitswork takes about 3 hours to arrive at the same stage.
Conclusion:
I can highly recommend SEQUATOR! If I ever have to process an untracked image sequence again, I use SEQUATOR instead of my fitswork workflow.
On Windows, it is by far the easiest to use and fastest stacking software for nightscapes and produces very good results. Even beginners can immediately produce excellent results. There are no excuses anymore for noisy single shot nightsapes… ;-)
PS:
1. Of course I still highly recommend using a tracking mount to achieve “deeper” sky exposures, by using lower ISO and higher exposure times. This means that you have to shoot the foreground separately with your tracker off and merge the two exposures during post processing. For this techique SEQUATOR might not be the best software out there, but to stay fair, that is not what it was built for…
2. Here is a very nice quick tutorial for SEQUATOR. The only point where I disagree with Mike, is that for better sharpness and no burned highlights, I recommend to use HDR instead of Auto Brightness.

one of two 600-ft+ stacks at a closed power station. the climb up here was the first that ever made my ears pop.
i spent a couple hours on top, watching some nearby emergency vehicles make their way through the plant, wondering if they were for me. at one point, i climbed up from the top platform to the foot-wide rim, but actually experienced a panic attack (rare, for me) and had to get down before i froze in place.
it turned out that the emergency vehicles were using a route through the plant to bypass a low clearance obstacle introduced by a nearby industrial pipe bridge. phew.
