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.

oooh, do you do this? I love a stack of blocks.

Stacks

Accession No. 20110219S / 02-19-2011 / Digital

Smoke stacks atop the Biological Research & Diagnostics (BiRD) facility, University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The uniformly clouded sky hung like a middle gray backdrop behind the stacks and they practically begged to be photographed! Like a small, close-knit family, the individuals seem to crowd together for safety against a tall, slender father figure who has braced himself for a coming storm. I enjoy anthropomorphizing objects in my surroundings through photography.

Equipment: Sony A700 camera, Sigma 75-300mm f/4-5.6 APO lens.

This is an experiment with focus stacking using the "CombineZ5" software. Works very good as I think. This image has a rather small size; couldn't get larger ones than 1600 pixels to work.

Admittedly, this image is dull. But I like the quality.

Very promising technique, but requires a tripod (at least if I do it).

Setup:

- Konica-Minolta Dynax 5D on a tripod

- Cosina 100mm f/3.5 macro lens without 1:1 adapter (it's 1:3 or something)

- Wireless flash Minolta HS-3600(D) from low left

- ISO 100, 1/250, f8, manual program

Stacked image from only two different shots. One with focus on the leaf, one with focus on the whatever-it's-called-english.

To go with our stacks of books? I'm thinking the students were getting a little punchy at the end of finals.

(The student here is not responsible for this stack of chairs. He was only part of my photographic investigation.)

Bought myself a present for christmas: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4. It's fun and sharp, and the possibility to play with very shallow DOF is very nice. It's easy to make "stack" effects like this.

I've never owned a large aperture lens like this, so it's interesting to see that even though the middle ball looked reasonably sharp in the viewfinder, most of it was in reality out of focus. So it'll be fun to learn how to use this lens optimally.

A focus stacked photo of a Broad-palmed Frog (Litoria latopalmata). I like the effect of focus stacking, but my camera cannot do it with the flash turned on. Therefore, I am left to try on frogs I find in the day.

I went out and took some shots of Saturn, which was low on the western horizon after a hot day in Utah. None of the data was really usable, but I tried anyway.

I post this to demonstrate how stacking data can help, even if the source info is very noisy. By stacking frames I increase the signal-to-noise ratio, meaning that each frame has a little noise and a little info. The info will come through over and over in the same places, and the noise is always just random. When stacked, the noise cancels itself out, and the real image comes through.

Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.
