My very First Focus Stacking Project~~~~!
I finally had found a tamed dragonfly in my garden so that I could start this focus stacking project.
I did 7 shots on this juvenile beauty and stacked them with CombineZM software.

This is a coal-burning, class M1b 4-8-2 steam locomotive that was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona Works in 1930. It is on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in the town of Strasburg.
Info. from rgusrail.com:
"# 6755 is an M1b class Mountain type locomotive (4-8-2) built as an M1a by the Pennsylvania Railroad at its Juniata work shop in Altoona, Pennsylvania in 1930.
The prototype for the M1 class was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1923. After exhaustive testing, the company then ordered one hundred and seventy-five of the class from Baldwin and a further twenty-five from Lima in 1926.
In 1930, twenty-five M1a class locomotives were ordered from Lima, fifty from Baldwin and twenty-five built at Altoona, Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Railroad (including # 6755). These featured one-piece cast cylinder saddles with inside steam delivery, Worthington feedwater heaters and two air compressors.
Thirty-eight M1a locomotives were subsequently converted to class M1b with higher-pressure boilers (from 250 pounds per square inch to 275 pounds per square inch) and firebox circulators. # 6755 was converted in 1944 and remained in service until steam was withdrawn from the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1957.
The M1 was the largest steam locomotive to operate on the Pennsylvania Railroad system and, although designed for dual service, it was used mainly on fast freight services.
The M class weighed 385,000 pounds, although the M1 and M1a delivered tractive effort of 64,550 pounds, while the M1b delivered 69,700 pounds. The M1b weighed 391,000 pounds, 271,000 pounds on its 72 inch drivers. With 27 inch x 30 inch cylinders, a 69.9 square feet grate and 397 square feet firebox, total heating surface was 6,332 square feet including 1,630 square feet superheating. Originally fitted with lattice tube cow catchers, the M1 front ends underwent similar changes to the K4s, with sheet steel drop-coupler pilots, and swapping the headlight to the top of the smokebox in front of the stack and the steam-driven generator to the front of the smokebox for easier maintenance.
A wide variety of tenders were mated with M1 locomotives. All had scoops to pick up water from track pans and, at the rear, were fitted with a "doghouse" for the head-end brakeman on freight trains."
First test with focus stacking. Only now learned that this is a viable method for creating cool macro shots (amongs others) and wanted to give this a try.
This is composed of 6 shots, using Helicon Focus (www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html), which has a free 30 day trial. Very easy to use.
As you can see there's still some spots that are blurry, which I think means I need more shots. Learning is fun!
South stack has a lighthouse, North Stack protects the coast in Fog with a lrge foghorn station.
The station was decomissioned and now belongs to an artist that lives in the station house.

Cécile Brünner, the rose, is just about done for this season. Two days of high winds are forecast and they'll probably finish her off. Maybe then she'll get pruned. There's always something going on with Cécile. She's housed the wren's nest, is part of the cottage's windbreak, and climbs up and over the shade house where, despite the "monster who ate everything" frost, she kept the houseplants safe. While she was at it, three ginkgo seedlings arrived in the mail the other day and are in there too, recovering, getting used to their new home ahead of them heading off into the "wild wood" next year.
I picked the last few buds of Cécile on their skinny little stems. They don't make the best cut flowers. But they are pretty enough for a dressing table or vanity for a day or two; then this…
Fortuitously, this little vase and it's posey are roughly the size of the wren's nest, so I know the formula: 42 turns of the focussing rail, front to back. toddkeith533 favoured the notion of a small aperture for close-up photography over stacking. So, taking his advice to enhance my inherent "efficiency", or laziness, I've stopped down to f/11 and reduced the process to just seven exposures — hybridisation, if you like. While I was at it, I turned off the overhead lighting and swapped out the flash I used on the wren's nest for the less powerful 430 EXII. The results? No exposure compensation numbers were harmed, and computer time was far, far less than for however many photos I used at f/4.
What it all amounts to is a pretty little pink thing to insert among the green doom and gloom of a frozen landscape. Even wilted and drying roses are better than that!

All banana cake with some chocolate buttercream and some vanilla buttercream. All edible, including the note paper.
1st attempt at a stacked timelapse image folks a bit of mucking around but definitely a viable way of doing these shots.... :-)
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
Rainroom by RedBlackProduction
Heya!
I had the idea recently of doing a Rainmeter theme based on Lightroom, as I really like the look of it's user interface. As I'm starting to get the hang of Rainmeter I feel compelled to add more and more information as I pick up bits and pieces! Bars and meters everywhere!!!! More functionality!!! At the same time I don't really like a cluttered look and I don't particularly want RSS feeds clamouring for my attention all the time . . So I thought maybe I could create a modular set of docks and have some buttons to switch them in and out as needed.
I've been using this setup for a while now and am really enjoying it's functionality, especially combined with Launchy, Standalone Stacks and CD Art Display. This is Rainroom in full flight, with all the modules active . . .
. . The black outer frame is always on and is meant to fade from the windows taskbar at the to the slightly transparent black at the bottom. On the bottom left is the module controller, in the center is currently a very familiar looking clock setup which is flanked by two small docks. These docks contain the folders I access 99% of the time! Left click opens the folder in explorer while right click launches a Standalone Stack. To the bottom right is a little Twitter input box! Utilising SendTweet by the talented Mr JSMorley, when it's clicked on it turns opaque and offers a text input for tweet tweet tweeting away . . . and it fits in seamlessly! I was thinking of using Taskkill.exe and making that little button on the bottom bottom right right kill Raininput, acting as a 'cancel tweet' button [for when I'm too lazy to use the keyboard :]
On the inner left is the CAD cradle module, ToDo list module [controlled by launchy :], and . . . well, something that wasn't finished in this sceenshot . . a Task Launcher module for a couple of tasks I run regularly: system maintenance scan, defrag, backup flash drive contents to pre-designated folder on hard drive etc.
On the inner right is the System Performance module, RSS reader module utilising a combined feed of my personal faves, Drives module incorporating histogram, activity lights and drive launcher, and finally a Twitter feed module . . .
The path is at South Stack, and leads down from the car park to the RSPB bird watch hut. The RSPB site is open in the summer for free access, and you can use their good quality binoculars to view the nesting birds. In the summer you can also access the lighthouse and Island for a small fee. Cafe open in the summer. This picture was taken in Feb, so very few people around and everything was closed.
We like thick layers when we 3D-print!
We 3D-modelled a candy bowl and a stackable box to test 3D-printing objects using thick layers. Normally the diameter of a 3D-printer’s nozzle is 0.4 mm. We drilled this bore up to 1.0 mm - which allowed for more plastic flow and thicker layers.
The results are stronger objects and also an exaggeration of the step features of the layers. Surface smoothness is not so relevant for many objects and by making thick layers they can become a nice feature - specially for decorative.
You can download the STL files for our candy bowl and stacking box below.
Stacked like small boxes atop one another or as simple, beautiful objects,
Frame serves both a decorative and a practical purpose. Combine
the wooden boxes with the colored boxes, or aim for the pure and
simple look. The small Frame boxes can also be connected to the large
Frame modules and used as a small display for your favorite objects.
