Spiratone 35mm f/3.5 bellows lens on Nikon PB-4 Bellows with recycled xyz focusing stage, mounted together with some wood & screws Rube Goldberg style. The next photo is what you see through the viewfinder of those coins stacked on the stage. This setup is super easy to frame & focus and camera shake is a non-issue. You can walk it over to the window for light & move it around for the best look. Focus stacking should be a breeze, as well as stitching 'panoramas'.

I'm going to make some Tri Recs stars with a stacked background and different, light traditional fabrics for the star. I like this star both ways, but I especially like it on point. We'll see what I decide to do with them.
I've posted pictures of these figurines before. This time I used an ancient 105mm Nikkor fixed focal length medium tele from my old Nikon F2 35mm film camera. All shots are hand-held and the ISO was only 200. I focused on the faces of each figurine approximately 15 feet across the room and made 3 shots --- then blended them in PS CS5.1. I wasn't looking for extreme sharpness here. I just wanted to see if I could create a pleasant still life
Sitting by the George's River today working so I set up the camera with an automatic timer remote. Unfortunately ran out of battery but managed to get 32 x 30 second exposures with a 10 stop and 3 stop screw in filter attached to the lens.
Stacked in Photoshop using Dr Brown's and processed in NIK. I have since tried manually processing this shot and realised that NIK was responsible for the texture in the water. The original file is super SMOOTH so maybe 16 minutes is worth it after all!
Effectively a 16 minute exposure. Not sure I see the benefit in going that long.
The stack blower is used to create a draft to pull the firebox smoke through the boiler tubes. When the engine is running, the steam exhaust and/or a steam blower are used to maintain the draft.
There were some very colorful plates in the pizza parlour. They looked pretty cool all stacked up. Here they are, PS'd and rotated.
From 13 different focal lengths. In-camera processed JPEG on top, RAW-processed and focus-stacked image on bottom.
I went to the local churchyard today, looking for Sminthurinus springtails. None to be seen, but there were plenty of Dicyrtomina individuals. This one obliged by keeping still long enough for me to get a 7-image focus-stack at F5.6. Not sure of the species, but with the non-pigmented "cheek" and lack of a raised genital papilla, most likely a female.
Members of the Dicyrtomina springtails are typically quite active and something of a challenge to get good shots of. This one may be in the early preparation stages for moulting; the cuticle seems to be separating around the feet. This is a stage at which they are often less active.
Canon 5D3 + MP-E 65mm (at x5) + 2x Tele-extender + MT24-EX Twinlite flash. Cropped a little. 7 images combined using Zerene Stacker. This individual around 1.5mm.
I had an idea in my head so had to start something new.... Another 12 blocks must be made I think, in order to tie all these colours together.
Macro setup - this is a 75-300mm Canon lens (right) stacked against a reversed Rikenon 35-70mm via a reversing ring. When both lenses are at their extreme (35mm vs 300mm) the magnification factor is 8.5x (300 / 35). This results in the full frame being ~2mm along the long edge, which on the 350D (sensor 22.2 mm × 14.8mm) works out to a macro factor of about 10x.
This arrangement replaces the $1.35 Pringles can solution. It's worth the $15-20 for the reversing ring ;)
You can see photos taken with the setup under my Lens Stacking tag.
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.
sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.
The false stack from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The stack contained an elevator with ropes and pulleys. President Roosevelt could raise or lower himself in his wheelchair using his upper body strength. The restored yacht is in Oakland, California, but the stack is mounted at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Maryland.
Someone obviously had a lot of time on their hands...
Taken with my Minolta 110 Zoom SLR camera using Lomography Tiger film. No flash was used.
