First session of Focus Stacking using free download Combine ZP. Doesn't seem to work with RAW files, so shot this in jpeg. There is unpleasant fringing, some of which I've removed. I got better results from shooting in RAW and then converting to jpeg: very time consuming. Equipment: Nikon D300, Nikkor 50mm manual lens, manual extension tubes. Lighting: 1 LED torch. Considering the basic equipment used, I'm pleased with this first effort.
When I come home with groceries I sometimes leave them for my son to unpack. His idea of unpacking is to stack up as many items as he can before they all fall over. He doesn't consider putting them in cupboards to be part of the job!
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #20 - Stacked. I came back to the kitchen and found Natasha posed next to the stack. I don't know if she realized the cat food was at the top of it or not!
This one is three separate boxes that stack on top of each other to make a trinket box tower of sorts :-) Each box is 85 mm (3.5") diameter by 45 mm (1.8") deep. The top two boxes each have a foot ring that sits inside the previous box preventing them from sliding about. The bottom box has a flat base which is why it appears shorter in the third pic. Overall height when stacked, including the lid is 155 mm (6.1"). The shiny finish is achieved with liquid Kato, a method taught to me by Debbie Crothers.
I wold love to acknoledge the person who stacked the coins and took the photo, however, I don't know who he or she is. So thank you to you. Love the shot.
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.

Two sets of six stacked blades, just as in the last top. Even these very light fabrics are making nice designs :)
You know, it must be something about this 18-25 age range that makes people want to stack things like this. This particular achievement was a collaborative effort between Monty and myself.

Robert Stack was born in 1919 in Los Angeles, California. His parents divorced when he was a year old, and he was raised by his mother, Mary Elizabeth (née Wood). His father, James Langford Stack, a wealthy advertising agency owner, later remarried his mother, but died when Stack was 10. He spent his early childhood in Adria and Rome, becoming fluent in French and Italian at an early age, and did not learn English until returning to Los Angeles when he was seven. He took some drama courses at the University of Southern California, where he played on the polo team. Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy were family friends who often took him hunting and fishing. By the time he was 20, he had achieved minor fame as a sportsman. He was an avid polo player and shooter. 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 set two world records in skeet shooting and became national champion. He took drama courses at Bridgewater State University, a mid-size liberal arts school located 25 miles southeast of Boston. His deep voice and good looks attracted the attention of producers in Hollywood. During World War II, he served as an Aerial Gunnery Officer and gunnery instructor in the United States Navy. He was awarded the World War II Victory Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, American Campaign Medal, Expert Rifle Ribbon and Expert Pistol Ribbon.
In his first film he played the character of Ted Drake in First Love (1939). In his first Western film he played Jim Holliday in Badlands of Dakota (1941). He appeared in Western films with: Richard Dix, Ann Rutherford, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine, Jackie Cooper, Ralph Bellamy, Mickey Rooney, Wanda Hendrix, Robert Preston, Joan Taylor, Robert J. Wilke, John Doucette, Virginia Mayo, Ruth Roman, Raymond Burr, Leo Gordon. Some non-Western films he appeared in were: The Mortal Storm, The High and the Mighty, Good Morning Miss Dove, Airplane, Caddyshack II, Joe Versus the Volcano. His final film appearance was as The Gooch in Killer Bud (2001).
He made his first appearance on TV in an episode of Pulitzer Prize Playhouse (1951). He appeared as a guest on other shows, but not in any Westerns. He is mostly remembered for playing the part of Eliot Ness in The Untouchables (1959-1963). He was the voice of Stoat Muldoon in the animated series Butt-Ugly Martians (2001). He hosted/narrated the true crime series Unsolved Mysteries (1987-2002). For 30 episodes he was the voice of Bob the Narrator on Disney’s animated series Hercules (1980/81).

His final work on TV was as the voice of Reynolds Penland in an episode of King of the Hill (2001).
The Piikani Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which was known as the Peigan Nation before the 1990s, honored him by inducting him into their chieftainship in 1953 as Chief Crow Flag.
His film and TV career spanned 62 years, during which he made more than 40 films and made many appearances on TV. In 1957 he won the Golden Laurel Top Male Supporting Performance Award. In 1960 he won the Primetime Emmy Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Series Award, and was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in motion pictures. In 1971, he was inducted into the National Skeet Shooting Association Hall of Fame. In 1981 he was inducted into the California Skeet Shooting Association Hall of Fame (inaugural class). In 1996 he was awarded a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. In 1999 he received the John F. Kennedy National Award. In 2000 he won the Golden Boot Award. In 2001 he won the Temecula Valley International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. His autobiography, “Straight Shooting,” was published in 1979.
He said about his role in The Untouchables: “Well, I come from a military family. Whether it's the country or city, I never liked the bad guy. I never put my arms around John Gotti, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano. For me, very simply they were the bad guys. And when I did The Untouchables, I told them going in, ‘If you try apologizing for any of these crumb bums, get someone else to play the part.’.” He also said: “As a matter of national survival, we need to do the best we can to sponsor the good guys and to do something active about bringing down the bad guys.” In a 1998 interview with The Associated Press, he said: "Somebody once said, ‘You really think you're Eliot Ness.' No, I don't think I'm Ness, but I sure as hell know I'm not Al Capone.' "
He underwent radiation therapy for prostate cancer in October 2002 and died of heart failure on May 14, 2003 at the age of 84. He and his wife, Rosemarie, had been married for 47 years at the time of his death.
He was an actor who didn’t take life in Hollywood too seriously. He said: "It's all malarky; even the wonderful part is malarky”. In life, and in the business, he was a nice guy and a professional, who followed the advice Clark Cable gave him when he was first starting out: “You're gonna be one thing: A pro. Show up on time, know your lines. ... And if you ever become a thing called a celebrity - a word I hate - if you ever do, and you use that power to push people around, I'm gonna kick you right in the (expletive)."
Books I have yet to read...I try not to buy more books, I really do! ...so I get some off Freecycle :P
Some of these are signed: Barbarians and Who Murdered Chaucer by (Monty Python's) Terry Jones, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson, plus 24:16 by (racing driver) Derek Bell.
There are actually some books that didn't make it to the stack, but I can't get them all out *again* for a big group picture so I might make a second stack photo.
Oh, and this doesn't necessarily count books that I'm in the middle of reading.

Seeing as I'm currently confined indoors with a potentially fatal dose of man flu I thought I'd have a go at a couple of photo stacks.
This one was about 80 photos done with a £30 focus rail from e-bay a Sigma 105mm and Raynox 250
A few weeks ago when hubby and I went to deliver the Silhouette wedding cake to a venue near the city, we went to the "Veggie Bar" for brunch. One of the things Boone had was a breakfast stack. It looked simple enough, so I decided to try it out. So here it is. It was delicious. The hash browns were a little thick according to hubby, the ones at veggie bar were the type they use at McDonalds, and mine were homemade. I think if they were thinner they'd be crunchier, but I liked them like this.

'The first great thing is to find yourself, and for that you need solitude and contemplation: at least sometimes. I tell you, deliverence will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places.'
Farthest North (1897) - Fridjof Nansen
Another image from my recent trip to Dorset. My son and i walked over the headland from Swanage to Old harry Rocks and spotted this along the way. The light play out at sea adding some drama to an already dramatic scene.

Mill City, OR - We had a great time hanging out in Mill City. With a population of less than 2,000 it had all the charm of a well worn flannel. It's a good place to slow down time and disconnect from the digital world.
I would love to return and take a canoe ride down the Santiam River with a six pack in tow.
I found this little dude (3.5mm) grazing on a stone wall at Wollaton on Friday, it was hardly moving and I managed a whopping 2 image focus stack, saying that it does make a difference, better details on the main body and an antennae in focus.
I kind of liked the patterns on this ones body, there are a few colour variations in these guys, from dark red, to red and orange and I have even found a light orange variety, see comments. This colour pattern on the main image is commonly known as Variant 1 :o)
