My husband and I enjoyed one last trip through the stacks in Hatcher. I'll miss Michigan's enormous, grand, comprehensive libraries.
On the Canadian side near Skayway of Alaska, there are lots of these stacked rocks to greet your eyes.
A stack of prrretty blue Dansk cups, probably from the 1980s. Have not yet been able to pinpoint the exact pattern...
Thought I'd try some image stacking, this is three individual shots, each with different exposures, but keeping the same aperture. Glad it worked out.
Just wish I had a little more water flow off the pool.
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.
Feeling tonnes better today.... I think the change in weather has helped. Mister sunshine had his hat on. Was lovely to walk home from the Metro with no jacket on.
Decisions, decisions...... sometimes you struggle to get one photo you like then other days you can't choose. This was one of those days. ODC's challenge was Stack/Pile, surprisingly I opted for Lego, AGAIN. However, I did have a couple of other photos that I liked one of some playing cards stacked up in a pyramid, and the other a tower of apples.

Evan's favorite thing to do in the pool this time was to stack these buckets with water in between and then push down.

Plenty of stone stacking here on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, looking South along the eastern shoreline. It felt very inspiring!

Visiting a local garden centre they had hundreds of pots, all stacked high on pallets but well displayed. The pots on this particularlar pallet had wonderful textures.
