Clouds stacked in orton
These clouds were taken in from my home, here in West Richland, Washington. My mom & I seen these on our walk, they were quite beautiful and unique.
The colourful second-hand U.S Bluebird school buses have been an integral part of the Panama public transport network for years but are becoming a rarer sight.
According to local media, with a new transport system being developed, the traditional Red Devils imported to Panama throughout the last 40 years are now disappearing and are only used for a few specific routes.
This example is quite under stated with its original paint scheme. Note the string of LED lights across the rear of the roof.
Those over the top stacks are connected to the exhaust system - they produce a loud deep growl like a wounded bear.
I began to use the focus stacking technique to increase depth of field in 2018, and this was one of my first attempts. It is a natural light shot of some of the Phottix equipment I use to take photographs in the studio with flash:
• in the foreground is a radio receiver I would use on a cobra flash without a built-in one, such as a Nikon SB–900 unit;
• then is the Odin II radio controller which goes on top of the camera, and is used to remotely set all Phottix monolights (i.e., studio strobes) and cobra flashes, as well as non–Phottix strobes equipped with a receiver. It is a wonderful little tool that works over hundreds of meters if need be and allows me to modify the settings on any strobes, assemble them into 5 different groups if needed, and of course fire them;
• and in the background is one of the batteries that powers the Indra500 monolights. Thus, they are completely portable and can be used anywhere in the field reliable and for a long time. It works with high–speed sync too, if necessary.
I see from my notes of 2018 that this is a composite shot made up of 7 focus-stacked exposures, taken with a 60mm macro lens at f/8 only. I would never have been able to obtain such a great depth of field without focus stacking, while operating the lens at its “sweet spot” aperture. The D850 has a focus stacking automatic feature built in, which saves a lot of time and effort, as one can dispense with focusing rails and minute manual adjustments.
The stack was processed in Zerene Stacker, which is the software I used at the beginning. I then moved on to Helicon Focus, which I still use today.
September 2025. I am reposting this photo as a testimony of gratitude to the Phottix flash equipment I used for many years with lots of satisfaction, in the studio and outdoors. It was not perfect, and certainly the Godox AD flashes I now use are not only more powerful (600 W/s) but above all more convenient, as they are true “monolights” with self-contained batteries that eliminate the need for battery packs and connecting cables. Nevertheless, the Phottix were with me when I began exploring the wonderful world of off-camera flash, and that is a memory I will retain for as long as I live.
J. & J. Goddard on Tottenham Court Road, London. The company sold pianos, harmoniums, organs and other musical instruments between 1842 and some time in the sixties.
Stack of 5 images using Zerene Stacker software.
Arboretum, Woodward Park, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Canon 500D close up lens on the Sigma 150 macro.
Full frame, no crop. Flash.
This stack wasn't so easy cause the flie moved head. Made with firmware 4.0, where the em-1 get the new focus-stacking-function. Natural light.
We are riding on a legend in the intermodal world. Over the past 50 years, you could find these monster machines in the yards of most railroads across the country.
The PC90 was an intermodal loader built by FWD Wagner Company. Manufacturing began in the late 1960s. They can still be found loading and unloading trains today.
Today, the last container of UPS high priority freight is being set for pick up. After an inspection of the cars, the track will be released and the cars placed into a train.
It was awesome to ride this beast. The operator was a veteran at ITS and was very skilled. He precisely spotted containers on chassis and well cars. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this behind the scenes side of railroading.
The PC90 is a huge machine. It is much larger than the modern European built counterparts that are replacing them. When the operator opens the tucked in legs and spread them wide open. the PC90 resembles a Transformer. It's size seems to increase quite a bit. Let me tell you, Bumblebee has nothing on the PC90!
Stack Em!
A UP stack train heads south through Morada, CA on the UP Fresno Sub. Seen here crossing Bear Creek.
for 7DoS: I was in my local garden centre this week and spotted a stack of pastel coloured flower pots. I'm not sure if high key can fill the frame, so feel free to throw this one out if not.
Continuing my early morning walk, wrecked cars stacked ready for recycling. There's a wire fence around the compound so I had to use a wide aperture to throw the fence out of focus.
I can't tell you how much I love these hay stacks. The pattern is beautiful. Blue aky and yellow hay is always going to be beautiful.
