Among the natural rock formations, there is stonework that was carried out by convicts who cut and stacked the stone blocks to build the pathways.
108er Stack von vemutlich einer Keiljungfer, die ich neulich tot auf einem Weg gefunden habe. Ein dankbares Model jedenfalls.
New Maryland state record. Common Clay Bank Tiger beetle (Cicindella limbalis), or, in this case, the Uncommon Clay Bank Tiger beetle. The specimen and 2 others were found while we were hunting these (with permission) in the yet unopened Wills Mountain State Park in Western Maryland. As usual, much of the action was in the transmission line that ran down the ridge amidst the relatively young forest. These tigers looked different (dark, but with glinty green markings) and I grabbed a few (they were remarkably slow, and I could've caught probably a billion of them if I wanted to) to show to Jonathan Mawdsley (Tiger beetle head), and it turned out that some of them were this regionally uncommon species. Habitat was loose, silty, soil on relatively steep terrain, which is apparently preferred habitat. Fun. Photography by Erick Hernandez.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

Looking like a rolling box of Crayolas with the colorful steamship stacks and blue and silver Gevo solo for power, Z195 blasts by the grainery at Manteno on the last leg of their run north to Markham Yard in suburban Chicago. These former CitiRail units would have looked quite sharp if CN would have tastefully patched them with a blue noodle on the hood, but still they add a nice bit of color to their red & black roster.
Sunset from a few nights ago at Plover Scrap lighthouse.
Another attempt at image stacking on this one (Same process as the last shot)
This one was 108 shots stacked in photoshop. Would have liked a few more but my batteries died so that was the end of that.
This is an absolute ball ache to stack all these when you've only got Elements, so I can't run any scripts to automate it. But it's fun all the same.......

Haystack is a very common post harvest scene in most part of the world. However it has only recently appeared on the local landscape, so I suspect we'll be seeing more of these soon. Btw these are dried cane leaves.
Some rainbow colored stacking rings I made for Amelia. She's just started to become interested in them--she likes to practice her new ability to hold things with the green and blue rings.
So here is my 1st focus stacking test in 2014 :D
I didn't noticed the insect when I did it

Although there is the obvious reflection, coffee is a bit of a reflection of the past year for me. I was an occasional coffee drinker until my son started working at a Caribou Coffee. He frequently brings home coffee beans and flavored drinks. I now have coffee almost daily. As for the photo I like it but I think I should have done more with the shape of the beans.

Another one from the wonderful Ballintoy, for this one I climbed up a very steep sea stack it was pretty dam windy up there so I had the tripod flat on the ground so this shot was taken lying down.

This is a seed jar made by Rachel Sahmie, a renowned Hopi-Tewa potter from Polacca on First Mesa, Hopi Nation, Arizona, USA. It is a typical example of contemporary pottery in the style of Sikyatki Polychrome (c. 1400 - 1600 AD), which was revived by her great-great grandmother, the famous potter Nampeyo in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She made this pot out of clay rolls, pinched together and smoothed, then she polished the surfaces using a pebble. No potter's wheel was used. Paint was made of boiled up plant material. Firing took place outside, in a heap of sheep dung. This is the traditional way of making Hopi pots. We met Rachel and her mother, Priscilla Namingha in Priscilla's home and bought two pieces in 1997.
This image is the result of 13 shots combined by focus stacking for increased depth of field, using Lightroom and dedicated stacking software Helicon Focus. I never tried this before and I am quite happy with the result. Nikkor 2.8/105mm macro lens at F 8, D850 camera. Jar diameter is c. 12 cm (5 inches). At these settings, the normal depth of field would be a few mm. Again, if you look carefully, you'll see that the back rim is in focus too, which would be impossible in a single-shot image. My previous attempt was received pretty well, what do you think about this one?
I'd been wanting to check out these stacks for a long exposure and finally went over there with my friend Chris and broke out the star machine.
Chris was featured this month on yahoo!'s Weekly flickr. Check it out here, you'll have to endure some ads first but it's well worth it. screen.yahoo.com/weekly-flickr-many-wonders-light-2224183...

The iconic and photogenic South Stack Lighthouse is located on the tiny islet known as South Stack Rock. The tiny islet is situated near the north west tip of Wales and lies separated from Holyhead Island, in Anglesey by 30 metres.
It is one of the iconic images of Anglesey, often appearing on brochures and web sites promoting the island. It is a popular visitor attraction, not only for the views of the coast and visits to the lighthouse itself, but also for the surrounding nature reserve, run by the RSPB, with thousands of seabirds nesting on the cliffs in the spring.
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II but the first lighthouse appeared in 1809. The lighthouse, erected at a cost of £12,000, was designed by Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors.
