Panstarrs stack with passing container ship. Something a little different.
300 + 3 second shots of the Comet Panstarrs stacked in StarStax

An old Stack of a weevil on my kitchen table , previously unused as I was never sure if I liked the image or not.
Captured with the EOS 7D and the MPE65 , stacked using Zerene stacker 64bit
I stacked these myself! I know it looks simple haha but for some reason I lose myself in it when I balance rocks. I hope it only took me a few minutes but I might have been there for half an hour and not noticed the time pass!
Wouldn't it be nice if you were a giant and could pick up these rocks and spend a morning trying to see how many times it could possibly bounce on the ocean if it was thrown?
Another option would be just to sit and admire the ocean and enjoy the sunshine on these rocks ;)

The next chapter in my portfolio is an extensive collection of sepia monotone photos taken throughout South Africa, the continuation of taking photographs anywhere and everywhere I find the opportunity to do so....
Take a journey with me.....

I just love this quilt... it's made from my favourite line of fabrics, Moda 1974, and I got the scraps from Dana of Old Barn Co. I was inspired by a quilt Tula Pink made, and I named it Stacked because my husband thought they look like tall stacks of books :)

Gorgeous and simply perfect mugs from my favourite pottery in Konstanz. Two more pictures on my blog
This is a composite image containing three different stages in a stacked, non-tracked astrophoto.
On the left is one image (of 21 shots total) taken with the EOS 50D, 200mm, Æ’/2.8, ISO 12800, 1 second exposure, from a fixed tripod. You can see, especially in the original size version, that this is an extremely noisy photograph.
In the center is the result obtained by stacking all 21 shots; the stacking process has produced an average of all 21 shots; this averages the noise out, because noise is random, while actual image features average out to the proper brightness they actually should be.
There's a little more to the process; as the 21 photos were taken, the earth spun underneath the night sky, so the images aren't exactly the same.
As part of the stacking process, a star at one corner is chosen and each frame is aligned so that star overlays the same star in the other frames. Technically, this is a "translation", or linear XY movement of each frame.
Once that is done, another star at the opposite corner is chosen, and each frame is precision rotated until that star, too, overlays perfectly for all frames. At this point, every feature in every frame is perfectly aligned.
In the third frame, at the right, you can see the results after the reddish background has been balanced out to black, and some amplification has been applied to the lowest light levels (bringing up the shadow detail.)
I use my own commercial software, WinImages, for all my stacking work; I built in all the tools needed to go from a set of JPEG images as seen on the left, to the final result you see here at the right.
I'm constantly working on this area of the software, so if you're using WinImages for astro work, please stay in touch with me and I'll see to it that you're up to date with the latest beta astro features, at no charge, of course.
Stacking is a wonderful technique that trades a little effort on the photographer's part (mainly working in software) for the opportunity to use standard photographic equipment to shoot photos that would otherwise involve special investments of hundreds or even thousands of dollars for tracking mounts. It is a fabulous way to get started in astrophotography, providing an opportunity to shoot deep space objects and get a feel for what is out there.

Thanks to Nicoletta for teaching me this model and Patrizia for the paper
103 stacked images of Iris Japonica. The lighting is natural window light.
I've been very impressed with the images John Hallmen produces using the Zerene Stacker software, so I decided to try it out. This is my 5th composite image and one that I'm very happy with. This is one of my favourite flowers and when it came into bloom this week, I had to use it as my subject .
I don't have the marvellous gear that John has but my Tamron macro lens has done ok with this one.
This is done using the Pmax method. There is a bit of halo-ing in places, but in all, it's a good image.
I hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Stacks End Cottages in the village of Motcombe Dorset were built around 1880 and are on "Corner Lane" in the North End Area of the village and typical of Victorian Cottages of this period. (now connected to the internet by high speed 50mbps radio Broadband, see the small white dish)
The nearby trees have begun to show their fall color in Waterloo, Indiana, as an eastbound NS stack train glides through town on Track 2 of the Chicago Line. A few minutes later a westbound came through on Track 1.
P made shedloads of pancakes. Cute little ones at that.
Each one was lovingly slathered with an equal amount of Nutella... I like cute little pancakes. They can hold a heck load of Nutella per surface area...
Duncansbay Stacks Monochrome is a photograph of the stacks and sea cliffs which are found on the most nortyhern part of the east coast of Scotland.
My friends' greenhouses are starting to heat up. We are starting to get fresh greens and shoots. Here plant trays are stacked ready for pea shoots (see those beautiful babies in the back?). One of the things I love best about spring are fresh-grown vegetables after a winter of everything being shipped in.
For Picture Inspiration Week 4: How Things Stack Up
Tracey encouraged us to try stacking things on our own for these photos, and I did try, but in the end this photo of already stacked trays was by far my favorite. (I will probably put the others up on my blog later.)
While we're discussing stacks, can I ask a question of those of you who use Photoshop or other layering programs to do their processing?
Do you save your layered files (i.e. your PSDs or maybe layered TIFs)? as well as your RAW files and final jpegs? I want to save them in case I want to go back in and change things some day, and sometimes I like to look back at how I processed something so I can do it again with another photo, but the files take up so much space. I am wondering if I need to give up this habit.
I spotted this stack of chairs in a restaurant in Parkhurst, Johannesburg, outside of operating hours, which meant shooting through the window. A different restaurant now occupies the premises. I've been searching for a specific photograph (not this one) and have been encountering all sorts of forgotten shots.
