Dave nails the DPUs on the heavy westbound SLPKSCO1-13K over the Pecos River Bridge in Ft. Sumner, NM. The stack train was a monster at 10,000 tons and 10,250 feet long running in a 3x2 configuration. In the background, the new bridge can be seen going up to the west of the existing bridge.
I'm sure you've seen people making a human pyramid many times, but have you ever seen a horse-man-horse-man stack, huh?
Not my rummage/yard/thrift sale find this time.
My sis found these. She bought this huge stack of Animerica Extra (39 of them) and three Shonen Jumps from a church rummage sale. Also found two shirts, this cassette player, and a paper latern for.......$5 total.
South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
Half nature, half ruins... who needs the rule of thirds, anyway?
The "mouth" of an old stack, at or near the Adventure Mine (yes, that was its real name!) last fall. This was the opening which would have led into the adjacent boiler building.
Still catching up on some old photos...
Edit, many years later: Actually, this was for the Mass mine, not Adventure. Whoops! They are neighbors...

Stack of some of the many paintings Naomi created for her senior project at CSUS. This one features a whale-sized Yuba on the beach with Naomi reclining against him under a full moon.
The lights of Grangemouth Oil Refinery by night are an almost surreal sight, as mesmerising as a spectacular firework display. Here I wanted to experiment with panoramas, overlaying an out of focus sweep onto a sharp image of the refinery, to be suggestive of a dream state.
Bokeh thanks to Helios 44M (and Sarah who tipped me off to this wonderful piece of glass, and got us out here to marvel at the lights =) Consists of two layers each with four images stitched into a panorama.
A child stacks jumbo building blocks. Parents love building blocks as a way to help their child with many areas of development. They teach balance, resilience, emotional growth, cause and effect, and more. Building with blocks comes naturally to kids and their creativity immediately takes hold.

Stacker is a super fun and challenging prize game. To play, you must "stack" the light blocks. To win the grand prize you have to stack the blocks all the way to the top. Come to Funspot today and see if you can win!
Our house seems to function (or dis-function) in stacks of stuff right now. The funny thing is that if it gets moved, there is a great chance that it will be harder to find....hmmm. Also, kind of an eclectic pile of stuff.
Sweet little bunnies all stacked up... this necklace was another special order for a customer. What could be cuter!? :-)
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.
When working with fabric that I'm stacking, the first thing I do is tear the entire piece along the fold line and work with half of the fabric. That's often enough to do a quilt top, leaving the second half of the fabric. Once in a while, I use that second half for borders, but not often because I think stacking changes the look of the fabric so much that it doesn't look good next to the blocks. The quilt top on the left was the first one I made with the fabric shown at the top of the collage, and then the quilt top on the right was the second. I really enjoy getting out that second half of the fabric to see if I can make something that looks different from the first quilt top.
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.
