With a protuberance large enough for only one turtle to find a place in the sun, these two apparently found a simple amicable solution.
Painted turtle (Chrysemys picta, Emydidae), probably the midland subspecies (C. p. marginata) or perhaps mixed with the western subspecies (C. p. bellii).

I thought these were amazing, until I found out that people were using glue. It turns out, the glue kills the fish.
I got a lot done today, getting ready for my trip to the coast on the 6th. Picked up some filters for my lenses, changed the oily in the car and washed my clothes..:) Had to get ready for work tomorrow.

#Stack
Isn't it an obvious choice to combine random objects for a theme like "Stack"? Please say "Yes, it is!" :) When I was looking for objects I could stack for the new MM theme, I noticed two smaller chestnuts on my desk which I'd collected in autumn right in front of my house (It's kind of a ritual for me to collect a few of the first fallen chestnuts in front of my house). In Berlin, many streets are lined with trees of only one kind. My house is a corner house, and the entrance is on "chestnut street", while most of our windows look out to "lime tree street", just in case you were interested ;)
So there I had these two chestnuts, two fairly round objects (asteroid-"round", or Mars-moon-"round", one could say), and I wondered whether they are stackable. Stackable without little helpers such as modeling clay, because I wasn't sure if we were allowed to use such "hidden tools" for the theme. To my surprise, they were stackable, "gluelessly" :) But I still needed a third or maybe a fourth object. This was the point where "glueless" turned into clueless, and I picked random objects that would both keep my stack within the 3-inch frame and which also would be glueslessly stackable on top of the two chestnuts. At first, I thought of using the small golden crown which you've seen before as an MM prop, but it kept coming off. So in the end the "winners" were the fairy light "cuff" that I've already used for the "Star" theme from August 2022, and two small carnation blossoms, because... why not?
My image is a single shot taken in shadow priority mode. Light sources were one LED light equipped with the semi-transparent yellow bottle cap for some warm light from the left, and another LED light directed against the gold-coloured cardboard which I've used as a backdrop. That cardboard was part of food packaging, and it has an uneven, slightly reflective surface which created some nice bokeh. Processed in DXO PL6, Lightroom (where I did some masking on the chestnut stack to bring out more details), and in Analog Efex, where I used one of the "Subtle" film types (Fundy 2) and a slight vignette to add a vintage, matte touch to the image. Again, this is on the bigger side, the height of the stack is slightly more than 6 cm / 2,36 inches, and I've cropped the image so that the width of the frame meets the three inches rule as well.
HMM, Everyone!
Ich hatte den Hagelzucker gerade in Gebrauch und dachte ich kann es ja man probieren ihn zu stapeln, hat geklappt ;-) 8mm Höhe hat der "Zuckerberg"
Thank you very much for your likes and the nice comments!

Had to try again and climb down the cliff as you never get the perfect shot but worth all the effort.
My dad always kept all of his spare nuts, bolts and screws left over from various projects. They came in handy now and then. I carried on the tradition when I got my own place. However, I never envisioned using some of the spares for photography! I had a box of these nuts that I haven’t used in years.
41 nuts make up this imperfect, nutty tetrahedron (3-sided pyramid).

The Duncansby Stacks lie just off the shore of Duncansby Head on the most northeastern point of mainland Britain. These towering sea stacks are believed to have stood in this position for the last 6000 years, slowly eroding away due to the raw power of the North Sea.
Essai de focus stacking direct du boîtier à main levée mais avec l’appareil maintenu appuyé sur le mur. Dix prises empilées dans Photoshop. C’est d’ailleurs la seule chose que je sais faire dans ce logiciel car nous avons vu une démonstration récemment au club photo.
I tried focus stacking as my camera can do it. I chose 10 captures that were compiled in PS in post production. It’s about all I can do with PS by the way, having watched a demo at the photo club.
They canoes all looked pretty there waiting for some users to arrive ... morning light there at Lake Moraine.

A focus stack of 3 images, shot with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash set to 1/16th power.
A weather system passes over the Elegug Stacks at dusk. The wind was blowing straight over my head towards the stacks as I took this shot. The sun was very intense here too and illuminating the cliff tops, but not the stacks below.
This is a remarkable headland in Pembrokeshire and there are so many photogenic features, Sadly with their positioning they do not make easy subjects at sunrise or sunset, but with weather conditions like this they still provide great subjects.
