A Photoshop of an old smoke stack across from the Helme Snuff Factory in Helmetta, NJ. It's a little off because it was a dark shot and in the original picture you really couldn't make out any detail of the building at all, the sun only lit the clouds. I decided to darken the sky to try to match the dark building a bit, plus I like the blue anyway. I also decided to leave the trees a silhouette because they were very grainy from enhancing the light.

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.
When Civil War regiments paused on a march they might stack arms. Each stack would be comprised of the rifles of "comrades in arms," which would consist of four men.
Still struggling with focus stacking without proper macro rail, but managed to make a decent one of a soon to be pasta ingredient as this little fella is growing on my window sill.
Lighting: White foam board, used as scrim, camera left and front. Still need to make a proper background and keep highlights under control ...
Overall, i'm impressed with this little lens.

Manual stacking of 20 shots at F8, 1/60 (+ flash) and 200 ISO. with a nikon 60 mm macro.
Assembled with CombineZ.
Spider is about 8-10 mm, crop 50%.
Lodgepole pine is being cleared from a patch of Strathspey - near the remant of the Caledonian Pinewoods that is the Abernethy Forest - leaving only the native species such as Scots pine, silver birch, rowan (mountain ash), holly and willow. It's amazing to see the landscape re-emerge as the blanket is pulled away. Apparently this pile is going to B&Q or Homebase!
Getting a good look at this small snapping turtle through a long telephoto lens. (Blended stack of 10 images.)
Practice focus stacking on microscope pix I took with my microscope, my Canon T4i Rebel camera, a 15 dollar macro tube and a 30 dollar DSLR-to-microscope adapter.
This was my first try stacking. Hope to get better at this.
Also the one of the stuffed animals is practicing bokeh while everyone is asleep. lol.
