Playing with stacking rocks on a log at Agate Beach, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.

Fresh out of the Alliance Yard, BNSF 7767 leads a westbound stack train through Hicks Field Road on it’s way out of Saginaw
On the drive to Killarney Provincial Park, we stopped by a chip wagon for some Poutine French Fries. (mmmm). The massive stack of full tree logs was taking over the scenery.
Captured with a Nikon 28mm f/2.8 AI-S lens at its closest focus distance of just 7 inches and wide-open aperture. DOF was so thin (see this also) that I focus stacked three photos into one.
First, let me point out there must be an interesting story about the name of (Spigelia marilandica) Pinkroot, for the simple reason (the one simple reason) that it doesn't occur in Maryland. Some sort of mix up of plant collections or collector notes I suspect. Someone will tell us the story. In any case this lovely occurs in the South were the bright red color and long tubular flower are plant body language that tell readers of plant language that hummingbirds are their pollinator partner. We have done experiments with color traps of different colors and red (along with clear, gray, black, and green ) get zip for captures (no we did not capture any hummers in the red traps...) . Now here we have given you something you can use when your cocktail party chatter lags. Photo and specimen provided by Helen Lowe Metzman.

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.

first ever attempt at a stacked image, not really suitable but simply used it to see how it all worked.
A stack of 4 slightly blurred (purposefully) shots, taken handheld. Autoaligned in the stacking process, then ungrouped. I think I was meant to crop at that point, but I really liked the resulting 'frames', so they stayed.
A combination of blend modes - a bit of glow, a bit more of screen - producing an intentionally (honest) contrasty image.

American actor Robert Stack (1919-2003) became a star as Deanne Durbin's young lover in Henry Koster's First love (1939). After the war, he had massive success with Douglas Sirk's drama Written on the Wind (1956) for which he was nominated for the Oscar. Internationally, he became famous as Elliot Ness in the TV series The Untouchables (1959-1963).
Robert Stack was born Charles Langford Modini Stack in Los Angeles, in 1919. His first name, selected by his mother, was changed to Robert by his father, a professional soldier Robert was the grandson of Marina Perrini, an opera singer at the Scala theatre in Milan. When little Robert was five, his father was transferred to the US embassy in France. Robert went to school in Paris and learnt French rather than his mother tongue. At 11, he returned to America, and at 13, he became a top athlete. His brother and he won the International Outboard Motor Championships, in Venice, Italy, and at age 16, he became a member of the All-American Skeet Team. He played polo, saxophone and clarinet at Southern California University. A broken wrist ended his career as a sports athlete. He took drama classes and made his stage debut at 20. He joined Universal Studios in 1939. In his first film, he starred as Deanne Durbin's young lover in First love (Henry Koster, 1939). He gave the teenage film star her first on-screen kiss. Around this "event," Universal producer Joe Pasternak provided a lot of publicity. Stack established himself as an actor and the following year he appeared as a young Nazi in The Mortal Storm (Frank Borzage, 1940) alongside Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. Stack was reunited with Durbin in Pasternak's musical Nice Girl? (William A. Seiter, 1941). In 1942 he appeared as a Polish Air Force pilot in Ernst Lubitsch's comedy To Be or Not to Be (1942) starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. The plot concerns a troupe of actors in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who use their acting abilities to fool the occupying troops. The film has become recognised as a comedy classic. Stack played another pilot in Eagle Squadron (Arthur Lubin, 1942), a huge hit. Then Stack's career was interrupted by military service. He did duty as a gunnery instructor in the United States Navy during World War II.
After World War II, Robert Stack continued his career. He returned to the screen with roles in films such as Fighter Squadron (Raoul Walsh, 1948) with Edmond O'Brien and A Date with Judy (Richard Thorpe, 1948) with Elizabeth Taylor. In 1952 Stack starred in Bwana Devil (Arch Oboler, 1952), the first major film production in 3D. He played the second leading role alongside John Wayne in William A. Wellman's aviation drama It's Always Day (1954). Sam Fuller cast him in the lead of House of Bamboo (1955), shot in Japan. Stack enjoyed one of his greatest successes with Douglas Sirk's drama Written in the Wind (1956). He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley. From the late 1950s Stack turned increasingly to television. Internationally, Robert became famous with his role in the television series The Untouchables in which he starred as the clean-cut Chicago police officer Eliot Ness during the Prohibition era. Around 120 episodes were made between 1959 and 1963. Other leading roles followed for Stack in the television series The Name of the Game (1968-1971), Most Wanted (1976) and Strike Force (1981). The multilingual Stack also took the lead role in the German-language film Die Hölle von Macao/The Hell of Macau (James Hill, 1966) alongside Elke Sommer, and he also appeared in French- or Italian-language productions. With advancing age, Stack also frequently took on deadpan comedy roles that lampooned his dramatic on-screen persona in films such as 1941 (Steven Spielberg, 1979), Airplane! (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, 1980) or Caddyshack II (Allan Arkush, 1988). Between 1987 and 2002 he was the host of the television series Unsolved Mysteries, which was dedicated to mysterious murder cases. He worked as an actor until his death. In 1956 he married actress Rosemarie Bowe (1932-2019), to whom he was married until the end of his life. The couple had two children. Robert Stack died of pneumonia in 2003 in Beverly Hills at the age of 84 and was buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

Ever wondered how I do my focus stacked microscope images, have a peek at a quick write-up on the procedure I use.,
I love and am passionate about photography but my limited knowledge/skill is obtained by learning from others, the Internet and other sources. I am keen to continue to grow and develop my skills to be the best photographer I can, however to do that I need YOUR help :).
If you think something works, let me know. If you think it does not work also let me know (and why). Any constructive feedback or tips you can offer is always appreciated and helps me develop my skills more and grow as a passionate photographer. Whilst I appreciate the favorites, if you think I can do it better let me know how in the comments!
