mmmmm, yummy! fabric stack for the quilt you can see partially constructed behind it. Quilt is the 9 Patch Trellis quilt by Oh Fransson!
My brother and I headed off to South Stack last night, we were hoping to stay there and get some star trails. But by the time we arrived it was far too cloudy and it just got worse as we waited.
I used HDR on this one as getting the whole tonal range from a single exposure was very tough as the cliffs were pretty dark relative to the sky. Unfortunately it's not come out as I wanted, with some blown out highlights in the sea around the lighthouse, which really shouldn't be happening with HDR, clearly I need more practice. Also I think there's just a little too much going on in the image, it's a bit too busy if you get me. WHen I got there, I realised that the 10-20 wasn't going to do the job, so will have to make sure i take another lens next time too.

Please take a moment to view it, large, on white.
Stack 3 shots into one with 2nd bird shifted position for alignment . Wow , few more days before wedding day !
I'm testing focus stacking for the first time. I'm using Zerene Stacker (zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker) as it seems to be the only one available for Linux. It's really easy to use.
This one uses 9 images taken with Nikkor 55/3.5 at f/5.6.
the somaliland shilling. or the SOS. there were smaller denominations . . but not very useful. each stack is about $20 - 9 February 2008

{I feature a book each Wed. on my blog - this week it will be one of these and you can suggest which one you'd like to see by leaving a comment on Monday's post on my blog. Whichever title gets the most requests will be the one I show...}
This is an anamorphic lens view of the stacks on the Notre Dame power plant. The right most stack is on the part of the power plant designed by Albert Kahn.
Photographed using the Sony NEX 5N with the Helios-44 28mm f/2 lens and a Sankor 16C anamorphic lens.
I stacked these myself! I know it looks simple haha but for some reason I lose myself in it when I balance rocks. I hope it only took me a few minutes but I might have been there for half an hour and not noticed the time pass!

A lovely sunny Sunday morning down on the beach.
Also for #66 of the 365 treasure hunt "Rusty".
Andromeda Galaxy - M31 with M32 and M110 satellite galaxies. Sony A7S body attached to Starwave 102 refractor, image consists of 44 20 second exposures at ISO 3200. The images were stacked using DSS.
My first foray into focus-stacking. This is a combination of seven individual images focus-stacked in CS5.
With five airports and even more small airfields, Air Traffic Control over Greater London is extremely complicated. Although new patterns are coming into use, one traditional way of managing traffic is to stack planes above one another so that each loses altitude bit by bit before leaving the stack to then turn on for final approach.
In this instance, with westerly wind operations, flight UA5 joined Ockham stack, one of four used for Heathrow. Traffic was not too excessive so only a couple of 5-minute circles were made, dropping down to 10,000'. From there a relatively uncommon ATC path was taken northwards over Heathrow and the River Thames before turning east and then taking a 180 degree turn to starboard over London City Airport and making a final approach to the west, basically along the River Thames and dropping into Heathrow over the legendary Myrtle Avenue (legendary to aircraft spotters that is!)
The above photo shows the aircraft leaving the bottom of the Ockham stack. Click on the link and look at the second diagram (westerly ops) for an example showing a typical day's movements www.heathrow.com/file_source/HeathrowNoise/Static/Ockham-...

Region
West
South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
