Harold,

Great shot and informative details. Macro photography is one of my favorite types of photo capture.

The newest “top lander” Macro Lens by Tamron is the model F017 SP 90mm 2.8 Di (full sensor) 1:1 VC USD. An amazing lens that has received great praise. It’s next on my list of lens acquisitions at a reasonable price.

Image Stacking goes hand in hand with Macro Photography. For this, a camera rail allows the photographer to incrementally take Macro Images at precise distances. https://youtu.be/tTu0KNxeO38

Once your images are captured and the computer program does its magic the results are outstanding. https://youtu.be/F3Dz34MMjQ0

As of yet, while I do have the gear for such work, I have not taken the next step into this level of Macro Photography. Soon enough...

Just curious. Has anyone tried Macro and Stacking of images? I’d enjoy seeing some of your work.

I don't remember if I've shared this image before.  If I have please forget this old brain ..... 

I shot this with a point and shoot.  I was just finishing a 20 mile run along the Sacramento River near downtown Sacramento. 
The other is a closeup of a group of flowers and stuff in my front yard taken with Nikon D700 with a AF-s Micro Nikkor 105mm 2.8 G lens.
The point I'm making is its not equipment but content that make a great image.

I don't remember seeing them before. . . (doesn't mean they weren't shared  ;) )
The one on the left looks like the bike trail on the American River just up from the confluence with the Saramento.
The American River Parkway is a great place for a 20 mi run, or bike.
Great pics.

As an aside I don't beleive that any image reflex reality.  I.E. we take a three dimensional  view and turn it into a two dimensional  image.  I feel we capture emotion.  We all know that the world is not black and white.  I like shooting in b/w  in an wish for more emotional impact.    I'm saying all this to say I have no issue with editing or any type of processing in photography.

Not a great image. We have all seen balanced rocks.   But, this one seems to be in its own category.
It's near Abiquiu.

Don,

i've been out around Abiquiu many times.  Some nice scenery between there and the CO border, but have not wandered enough to have seen this.  Where is this teetering giant?

It's been a few years and I only marked the picture as Abiquiu. Probably on FS151, the road to the monastery or the Ghost Ranch Road.  Those formations are usually in a valley.

The snow is melting and the snow plants are popping up in the Sierras.  This was spotted at Huntington Lake.

Kent, this one's for you!

Harold,

I had soooo hoped to make it to Serrano to see the “blooms” of Snow Flowers but, unfortunately, our trip up was cancelled by the kind folks at Rec.gov due to a snow storm brewing in the Big Bear area.

Jalama Beach had to suffice (Thanks again Steve). Weather on the coast was perfect and the burgers were fantastic. Actually ate at the Shack twice. Mmmm.

Thanks for the picture. I’ve added it to my others.
