Stacked set of 64, 30-second exposures. Photo taken on January 2, 2011 at High Falls County Park, Dekalb County, Alabama. Shot with a Canon 5D, 50mm f1.8 lens. Exposure was 32 seconds at f/4 with ISO 1250.
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.
Finally managed to find an insect both alive and willing to sit still for a spot of focus stacking. My sons found it in their sandpit. It moved a little during the shots but not too much.
Another focus stack with Zerene Stacker. This time I tried the D-Map algorithm with the maximum radius and minimum smoothing, which makes most of the image look good but the edges very bad. I then touched up the edges with the P-Map algorithm image - a good combo I think.
I initially did a 27 shot stack so the shots was in-focus from front to back. But it had no depth and the head no longer stood out against the chest. I cut it down to just 10 shots so that the head would stand out better. Overall I prefer it.
For the diffuser I used a ping pong ball with a bit cut out, with flashguns either side. But I think it has rather overdone it - the beetle is practically white!
I need to make much smaller rail adjustments when using wider apertures - there are noticeable gaps in the stack where the image gets blurry between sharp bits. I'd actually meant to use f/8 but had knocked the dial to f/6.3.
I need to leave a big margin around the shot. I'd nicely framed the insect so that his feet were in shot, but the stacking process chopped them off. Grr.
I'm seriously considering using my usual f/16 for my next focus stack. This is because:
- if the insect moves I might still get usable if un-stackable shots
- it will make the transition from stacking to not-stacking less apparent
- it'll cut down on the glow effect
- I can use fewer shots in the stack, reducing the chance of movement messing things up
- it'll reduce the "halo" effect on edges

This was a macro experiment in my home studio using natural light, a reflector, a vanguard tripod, and my 60mm macro attached to the 7d.
On her way home from work, my wife stopped at Sonic Drive-In and ordered us Burgers and Tots. I got the Cheesy Bacon SuperSONIC® Stack and she got herself a SuperSONIC® Double Cheeseburger. She also got us each a Side of Queso for our Tots.

A stack of credit cards is completely tantalizing eye candy. Credit cards are as American as apple pie and baseball. The bright pop-art colors are appropriately American. Knowing that the cards are secured wherever they are used is even more empowering.

I wanted to try the block I used in "Wild Child" with a few changes, the center being a square instead of a circle and four of the blades remaining a constant. In the first picture, I'll use three of the four fabrics on the left, plus one more from the group on the right and then the constant navy blue in four stacks. #2 - I cut a five inch strip and then cut wedges with the 18 degree ruler. #3 - Four matching sets of five blades each are sewn and then trimmed to give the center a straight edge. #4 - A small triangle is sewn to the cut edge. #5- the four quarters are sewn together. #6 - Edges trimmed to an octagon. #7- Corners applied. I think these blocks will make a good secondary design.
Hi everyone !
In the process of trying to perfect my setup, i tried to go without flash for this stack.
In doing so i think i might leave the flash out of the equation forever now as the quality of the images are just as good if not better with normal desk lamps.
My setup is probably to the stage i want it and below are some images of the entire mechanism i used to get this image above.
Iso was Auto ( i did trust the camera on this one ) and the shutter speed was around 2 seconds.
Magnification was the 4x Objective plus the Bellows, so maybe 5 - 6 x
I hope to produce more stuff in the upcoming weeks with my last exam this Monday so wish me luck !
If you wish to see a larger image of the above please do so, it is the best resolution i have got yet moving at around 0.05mm for each frame, with an entirety of 132 images of both Dmap and Pmax Retouched in Photoshop slightly and some noise reduction. Stacking was all done in Zerene Stacker.
Everything below was made by my good mate Michael because i didn't have a clue what to do !
My first attempt at focus stacking. I used four images but cropped it to remove some blurring at the edge caused by a fourth straweberry sitting on a meringue at the back, There are definitely some areas that aren't quite right but it's better than I thought it would be. Love that all three front strawberries are sharp - shame the boards are uneven. Will definitely come back and re-visit this technique another day!
A stack of records next to a record player. The record on top is The Beatles Yesterday and Today, a 1966 release on Capitol Records in America. As you can see, the cover sticker that was placed over the original"butcher" cover has been peeled back, indicating this sleeve is a second edition.
Stacking storage units will maximize your wall space. Be sure to attach them to the lower cabinets and the walls for safety

Cars & Coffee. The name speaks for itself. A great atmospehere for car enthusiast alike to hang out, chat, check out some awesome machines and enjoy a great morning with friends.
Using the three stacked fabrics, with two fabrics in each block is really fun! I like these because they look different but the same. The first column is horses and hats, the second is horses and boots and the third is hats and boots. I haven't decided yet if I'll trim these to octagons or hexagons...probably hexagons.
