Just underway towards Stevens Point, M356 ducks under the BNSF at Saunders. With a little time invested at this location and some luck a guy could do pretty good here as the CP, UP, CN, and BNSF all do one thing or another in various directions during the day.
First use of "Focus Stacking" made available in version 4 Firmware for Olympus E-M1. 8 images are recorded at different focal lengths and the results merged in camera to produce a better focussed image. Simple and impressive given the poor light. Version 4 also includes "Focus Bracketing" which records up to 999 images but needs third-party software on your computer to produce a composite.
Driving to Freshwater West a while back I spotted the old house with all those stacks and noticed the way it sat against the backdrop of the stacks of one of the oil refineries on the south side of the Milford haven waterway. I used the Ef70-300 set at 225mm to get the compression I wanted in the image.

The false stack from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The stack contained an elevator with ropes and pulleys. President Roosevelt could raise or lower himself in his wheelchair using his upper body strength. The restored yacht> is in Oakland, California, but the stack is mounted at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Maryland.
These plastic stackable drawers cost about $7 for a set of three drawers. We screwed them into the base of the closet and into the back of the closet. They are solid as a rock - no tipping.
This is Oliver painstakingly stacking and unstacking his stacking toy, riht after he learned how to use it, at about 10 months.

1105 hours on this lean mean mowin machine, complete with chicken lights and chrome.
Focus stacked in Element 12 with plug-in.
using two images should have been 3 as mid ground is not sharp. Still its a economic way to get focus tacking in Photoshop Elements. using smart phone to control camera on low tripod. with out having to get on my knees I could adjust position of camera on tripod looking at phone screen.
The concept of stacking two twisted is also possible for hexagonal twists. This is one molecule.

(Calliphora stygia) This is my first attempt at stacking a macro image. Unfortunately the gross factor increases with the level of detail.
Hikers in Oregon and Washington like to stack rocks. Often it is just for fun while taking a break, but these stacks can serve a useful purpose too. In places where a not so obvious fork in the trail occurs or where an access point is difficult to spot an obvious man-made shape is a helpful visual cue.

Astrophotography is generally harder than regular photography... You've got light-pollution from cities, and miles and miles and miles of air between you and your subject, the subjects are usually incredibly dim, and they move across the sky. This means that for an astrophotographer, the most expensive piece of equipment may not be the telescope or camera... It may be the mount. The mount has to track smoothly and accurately across the sky for minutes or hours as the object moves across the sky.
Astrophotographers do have one very large advantage over regular photographers though... Anything outside our solar system really doesn't change much. You could take pictures of the ring nebula, wait a year, and take some more, and barring a nearby supernova, you'd never be able to tell which was which.
One common technique used by real astrophotographers is called stacking. They take a bunch of pictures of the same object, and stack them together to pull out details that are not clearly visible in any one picture. This means their mount doesn't have to be quite as accurate, since each picture is of a shorter duration. It also helps to get rid of problems inherent to digital cameras like hot pixels and cold pixels.
To play around with this idea, I took about 100 pictures of the moon (no telescope, just holding the camera). Then I fed them all into a program called registax and these were the results for 1, 2, 4, etc. images. This was just a very low-tech experiment but I think it shows the advantage, and also the diminishing returns on a per-image basis.
This is an image of my new self-made macrotubus. The two tripod mount rings ensures perfect parallelity of tube and optical axis. It can be extended with threaded tubes to e.g. 160 or 210mm tubelength or can be equipped with a tube lens to support infinity corrected lenses. Furthermore it allows to rotate the camera without losing the target in the finder.

I have always liked this stack of cups in a local coffee shop. So tidy and neat - so unlike me, my home and my life! Opposites attract eh!
Two sets of six stacked blades, just as in the last top. Even these very light fabrics are making nice designs :)
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.
