Macro Mondays - Stack

 

Cropped close up.

EXIF data lost through Photoshop, so here goes:

 

Nikon D500

AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 G

f/8

ISO 100

1/500s

 

Just 3 shots stacked together. Again, not a perfect result, but I'm starting to get there

This is my first attempt at a Cloud Stack - a long exposure time lapse photography of clouds. The really clever people who do some wonderful images leave their camera set up for a lot longer time lapse (eg time lapse photos of the night sky). This being my first attempt I time lapsed for a shorter period; thus having less frames to stack together and not getting the brush type strokes. Something for me to aim for another time.

my 1st try out with ' focus stack' technique

Trefor Sea Stacks, Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales.

This 6x77s interval stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are one of the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 7.7 minutes elapsed time, the start and end of the fire sky is depicted.

A stack of white plastic garden chairs under some grain silos in the yard of a pet and grain supplies store.

A double stack train for the Ports of LA and Long Beach is next in a long parade of westbounds at Verdemont. In the background, M-BARSDG rests on the main. Cargill's grain elevator is visible on the left side of the frame.

A stack of hand painted coasters, a gift from a while back. One in use for another gift from Wendy many years ago, a souvenir from Kinsale, Ireland. Many thanks, dear daughters!

 

P.S. I think the glass shamrock was a gift from my niece Erin.

I usually prefer my subjects alive and kicking but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do a close up stack of this expired dragonfly I found in a spiders web in our gazebo eves.

I must say I was struck with how vicious its needle like hairs around it's mouth look, also imagining how terrifying the species in the Late Carboniferous period looked when they grew to over two feet from wing tip to wing tip...😬

Yes! Quilt top in a day! I am convinced quilting is best as a team sport, after yesterday's session with The Aunts.

 

Now I have to wait until July to get back together with them to finish it. Meanwhile, I'm dreaming up my next top.

The South Stack lighthouse on the west coast of the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales.

Stacked batteries.

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

This amazing stack is at Cathedral Cove Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, NZ.

Very many thanks to Nick Twyford www.flickr.com/photos/67654596@N04

I spent a number of memorable days in his company visiting various locations around Coromandel.Peninsula and out to West coast beach's

On this occasion we trekked down to Cathedral Cove from Hahei with our torches at 0430hrs hoping to find an empty beach and catch a sunrise. Unfortunately no clouds.

A magical time..

These huge sea stacks are located at Duncansby Head, the far North Easterly point of the UK mainland, very close to John o Groats. I wasn't quite prepared for just how impressive they are in real life, they are magnificent. The beach there is fantastic for foregrounds which I've tried to capture the essence of here. The day wasn't the best for photography and so I waited until there was a hint of the coming twilight before I took the shot.

 

This was part of a curtailed trip doing the NC500 route and can be seen in my latest vlog here: youtu.be/AyCevz-0vUY

This 320x2s stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are one of the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 12 minute exposure the lenticular cloud was nearly stationary while the cirrus clouds were streaking as wisps. The bright white (and lighter blue) lines at middle left are the initial form of spreading contrails.

Picture of the Day

Oh, another one of those stitched panorama macro shots where the subject is to large to fit in frame, right?

 

Wrong. This blunt stretch spider (Tetragnatha obtusa) is absolutely small enough to fit in frame (as can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52807137438/), but since the top and bottom was just pure white, I figured I could get away with cropping that away and make this a 21:9 image.

 

And the trickery doesn't stop there. This is also rotated 180 degrees as I found this one upside-down in the veranda ceiling so I had to get a stool (which was a little too high) and shoot this with the camera upside down, pressing the shutter button with my left pinky finger (my mom took a photo of me looking very elegant here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52806686381/).

 

This is a focus stack, but instead of just taking multiple shots while moving or shifting focus ever so slightly, here I actually lowered the camera and rested between two shots because of the awkward position and still somehow managed to get the exact same angle and focus where it was needed - I'm as surprised as anyone!

 

Looking closely at this spider, you can see what will be its doom. On the back of it, there is a larvae of the parasitic wasp Acrodactyla quadrisculpta which has attached itself and will eat of the spider - but not enough to kill it until the larvae is ready to pupate.

The South Stack Lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rocks below since its completion in 1809. The 91-foot (28m)-tall on South Stack was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to vessels for 28 miles, and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin-Holyhead-Liverpool sea route. It provided the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesea for east-bound ships.It is followed by other lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead Breakwater, The Skerries, The Mice, Point Lynas and at the south-east tip of the island Trwyn Du. The lighthouse is now operated remotely by Trinity House.

Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area.

PLEASE VIEW LARGE! As an added point of interest, there are exactly 400 steps down to reach the island!!

An old Norwegian myth rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack if you don't want the trolls coming.

An old Norwegian hikers rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack to mark the path.

A new Norwegian tourist rule says you have to put another rock onto the stack if you like this place and want to come back.

 

A good starting point for a series of lots of Norway photos being uploaded in the next weeks.

This focus stack turned out better, although the constant wind was giving me a hard time. Still room for improvement, and maybe next time under better environmental conditions.

183 images stacked in Sequator

Post-sunset, blue hour view of multiple sea stacks on Bandon Beach on a clear but windy summer evening. I used a 10-stop filter to extend the exposure to get a smooth glaze on the water's surface.

This stacked and lightened image used 8 images taken over 8 minutes while this storm was about 16 miles away. I cropped this image about 30% from the original.

Rock balancing can be a performance art, a spectacle, or a devotion, depending upon the interpretation by its audience. Essentially, it involves placing some combination of rock or stone in arrangements which require patience and sensitivity to generate, and which appear to be physically impossible while actually being only highly improbable.

There's a big movement to stop people from stacking rocks in the wild. They are disruptive of the local ecosystem.

 

I don't think this restriction extends to little pebble stacks like this one.

 

Thank you for a nice bokeh/DOF opportunity, anonymous pebble-stacker.

 

Fall Creek Oregon. Big Fall Creek Road was closed a few miles in. The last pullout before the road closure is probably getting a lot more visits than normal.

 

I enjoyed our stop there.

I'm glad I had a look in this file.

View of the electrical power smoke stacks as seen from the edge of Kohler-Andrae State Park (Wisconsin) yesterday afternoon.

Normally I blend stacked images in Photoshop by using lighten or darken. This time I used the "difference" bending mode with 46 images. This blend resulted in extracting the wave pattern of the high thin cirrocumulus clouds. The texture is almost like a finger print.

 

Difference:

 

Looks at the color information in each channel and subtracts either the blend color from the base color or the base color from the blend color, depending on which has the greater brightness value. Blending with white inverts the base color values; blending with black produces no change.
