A rock stack on the shore of Fårö island, Gotland.
These rock formations, known as raukar on Gotland, are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology, the ones found on Fårö are up to 8 meters tall.
Lufthansa Cargo, McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, D-ALCR, (c/n 48581/565), prepares to land on Manchester's runway 05L, while Virgin Atlantic Airways, Boeing 747-41R, G-VXLG "Ruby Tuesday", (c/n 29406/1177), waits at the hold prior to departure.
Probably a more aesthetically pleasing attempt than this one, but it's been a while, so a bit of sunset rock stacking is always fun :-)
I was reminded on Facebook about the work of Matt Molloy who stacks and lightens landscape shots taken at regular intervals. I happened to have ten consecutive shots from the other day. This is one result from stacking them.
20 x 30 second exposures stacked together to form this single 10-minute exposure of the Swellendam night sky.
There was a cloud moving past so some of the stars fade-out or fade-in.
This is me in the Oberlin College Conservatory Library stacks. I can't tell you how many hours I spent here back in the day.

Rearranging the rocks seems to be the big thing at Ohiopyle lately. There were some that were more than just stacks (though I didn't see any arches today). Here's one of mine.
On the Canadian side near Skayway of Alaska, there are lots of these stacked rocks to greet your eyes.
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.
A focus stacked photo of a Broad-palmed Frog (Litoria latopalmata). I like the effect of focus stacking, but my camera cannot do it with the flash turned on. Therefore, I am left to try on frogs I find in the day.
I'm now on facebook, please like our page at www.facebook.com/CrypsisNaturePhotography
Attendees of Summerail 2022 get in some train watching at Marion Union Station before the first programs begin. They are watching an NS stack train pass the former AC Tower.
Stacked chairs used to provide bleacher on recently concluded cultural show in City of Doha. Found it interesting to see its uniformity in a well aligned formation, with its rich yellow color.
1. WeMacro Focus Rail
Canon MP-E 65mm - Canon 80D - Yonguno YN24EX - f5.6 - 193 micron units - 21 stack
The WeMacro Focus Rail offers the finest degree of control. The lowest increment can be as low as 1 micron. Although this degree of control may be needed for magnifications of x10+ - for insects at 5x - 62 microns is ample. WeMacro provides a very useful DOF Estimates For Macro Chart. Using this method one sets the depth of field step size based on aperture and magnification. I just looked it up on the DOF Estimate for Macro Chart. For example, on an APS-C sensor using f5.6 at 2x magnification 193 micron step sizes are recommended.
Pros: Offers the greatest degree of control and maximum magnification - an incredible 1 micron
Cons: Heavy - great for studio but not to so practical for field stacking
2. Novaflex Castel Q Focus Rail
Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 - f5.6 - quarter mm increments - 16 stack
There is always the good old fashioned way of manually stacking using a focus rail. Although much slower than using an automated method it does provide the satisfaction of being able to see the focus with each turn of the focus knob. With care and attention manual focus stacking can be suitable for maximum magnifications of 5x.
Pros: Area of focus can be clearly seen on-the-fly and with each turn of the focus knob.
Cons: Slow - by the time the stack is completed there’s a good chance the subject will have lost patience and moved
3. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 8 - 8 stack
By far the quickest method and great for taking stacks in the filed. The camera generates 8 jgs and from these a final RAW composite is made. Alternatively one can bracket up to 99 images and have these imported into stacking software, such as Zerene Stacker. The main drawback of this method is that you have to estimate the focus point by setting a ‘differential’ between 1 - 10. 1 represents the smallest of increments and 10 the largest.
4. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 2 - 8 stack
As can be seen, a diff of 8 provides substantially more depth of field than a diff of 2 (where only the mouth parts of the dragonfly exuviae are clearly in focus
Pros: The lightest and quickest method of all. Great for stacking in the field.
Olympus E-M1 with Olympus Zuiko 60mm lens and STF-8 twin flash weigh just under 1 kilo. Compare this to my Canon 5D and Yonguno YN24EX on Canon Speedlite Bracket SB-E2 weighing in at a whacking 3 and a half kilos!
Cons: The amount of focus increments needs to be approximated from a differential of 1 - 10. One can’t set the focus starting and ending points as with the WeMacro Focus Rail nor see what’s in and out of focus - as with manual stacking.

Well, it's trying to be a Focus stacking image of a dandelion but my technique is flawed at the moment
Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.
