A Grainflow stacker has a rest at the Oaklands site as the last rays of sun can be seen for the day.
One by one, off the trolley and onto the stack. The small "sticks" inbetween each piece allows for airflow so the slabs can dry more evenly.
Coincidently, it also make it much easier to pick a piece off the stack without jamming your fingers!
Busy busy busy day. It's the first day of access to our new house (yes, we're moving!) and so after leaving work a bit early it was straight into packing. Thanks to the help of a few friends we accomplished a lot! Almost everything but furniture, kitchen, some clothes, bath stuff, and backyard storage shed was moved today. We decided to hire movers to take care of the furniture and they're coming tomorrow morning at 9am.
Anyway, in this shot here, you can a small slice of the stacks upon stacks of books that have been moved to the new place.
So, having watched 2 focus stacking demonstrations, in recent month, thought it was about time I gave it a go.
12 images blended, shot at 1:1 with a Rokkor 50mm Macro lens, at f8, lit by the rooms overhead CFC, hence funny shadow tints.
Set up on a focus rail, moved manaually about 1/8 turn of the screw.

Stacking images is challenging. First, a subject that stands still, then focusing at different distances. Thats the hard part. If the fly doesn't move and you can see that subtle change in focus, you might get something. Four images ... Canon T2i, Canon EF 100mm macro f2.8 L, Zerene Stacker, Lightroom 5.

A Photoshop of an old smoke stack across from the Helme Snuff Factory in Helmetta, NJ. It's a little off because it was a dark shot and in the original picture you really couldn't make out any detail of the building at all, the sun only lit the clouds. I decided to darken the sky to try to match the dark building a bit, plus I like the blue anyway. I also decided to leave the trees a silhouette because they were very grainy from enhancing the light.

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.
When Civil War regiments paused on a march they might stack arms. Each stack would be comprised of the rifles of "comrades in arms," which would consist of four men.
