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.
Experimenting with focus stacking, I shot 20 images with my 180 macro @ f3.5 and process stacked them using Helicon Focus. I used mirror lock up and my heavy tripod with a remote release. I put it on manual focus and then gently cranked the focus barrel just a weee-bit for each image. The software did a pretty good job, then I brought it into PS for my normal flower processing.
Thanks for looking

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.
I stopped at the Container Store today after another errand. It was my first time and I was apprehensive. I wandered the aisles for awhile, looking for useful things and trying to think about our storage needs. I was afraid it was going to be ridiculously expensive, but all together everything was only forty bucks.
Last week Andy got two brand new, identical monitors for his desk, and he gave me his widescreen. So now I use that as my main monitor, and my old, regular-sized one as the second. To fit the two monitors, I had to get rid of an IKEA dokument. I spent some time going through all the paper that had collected in two of the trays, using expandable folders leftover from my teaching days. I used one of them to collecting the growing pile of paperwork associated with all of the business stuff. That folder is now on the top right shelf for easy access/drop-in. The top level of the tray collected an assortment of trinkets and things, and some of them I put away and some of it I still don't have a home for. Nor do I have a home for the letter tray itself. It can go in my giveaway pile.
Today I bought a few clear plastic shoeboxes for storage in our bathroom/hall closet, because it is a mess, and the smaller bins I have in there are overflowing. I put one together tonight--all our medicine/pharmacy-type things--but there is SO much more work to do in there. Mostly getting rid of old makeup-type crap.
I also wanted some storage options for my desk, and I ended up with two medium stacking bins plus a slim paper file. Previously I had upright things just leaning, and an assortment of crap holding the vertical stuff up. Which meant things were in a jumble and constantly falling over. So going vertical with the smaller stuff storage was important. However, pretty much all of the storage pieces were large and flat, or large and tall and wide--and I need smallish and vertical. So the bottom one holds random stuff like pens, earphones, etc, while the top holds the stapler, tape dispenser, notepads, and the tiny bowl which has work keys and binder clips. The top left shelf used to have a precariously balanced full pencil bin, and now it's two pen cups, kleenex, and envelopes.
Overall it looks and feels SO much clearer and cleaner! I love that feeling. Except that then I look around at all the other places that need this kind of attention and I feel depressed, because it's everywhere. Oh well, baby steps. This is really good progress for me, and it'll be good motivation to keep going, in small bits.
Oh, and if you need some inspiration, flip through Unfuck Your Habitat. Seeing that occasionally has gotten the declutter/cleanup bug seeped into my head here and there.

fly stacked over 30 images. used extension tubes, 200mm bellow and magnification kit, focus stacked. lit with studio light (no flash)
Blocks won at VMQG's February Meeting. Happy this top is together but will be putting it aside to work on other, more pressing projects for a bit.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
I have a plan! I knew I wanted the octagons as a border, but it took a while to decide what to put in the middle. There are three sets of eight stacks around the outside of the star and I positioned them to have the most black around the outside to give kind of an airy effect. I'll put the corners on some octagons and sew them together to see what size spacer strip I need around the middle to make it fit the border. I'm headed off to our family Thanksgiving, which we've always celebrated on the Saturday following Thanksgiving so people could all get to places they wanted to be. My son is our Thanksgiving cook and he does a great job :)

If you've seen many of the quilt tops, you know that I find the stacks endlessly fascinating. On this fabric, the repeat is five inches one way and three and three quarters the other way. That tiny piece of fabric in the lower middle of the picture is one repeat. There are ten more blocks to go and I'll bet all twenty will be different!

Stacks keep me interested because, even though I have a general idea of what a stack will look like, there are always elements of the finished block that surprise me. On top are three eight-stacks of diamonds and below them are the blocks they made. These are cut from a 2.5 inch strip, so when the seam allowances are taken, the finished block looks quite different from the stack set.
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.
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.

Thought I would see the late afternoon traffic before sunset.
Every drive by has a story - I'll leave you to think what it might be.
