Had to smile when I saw that Andy ....plenty of butter ....perfect :) is that 'proper' Soreen it doesn't look dark and gooey enough.

I wondered too...but they do several varieties these days.

Hi Andy. I had thought about Soreen but decided against as it would mean getting rid of the waste after ... or should I say ".... getting rid of the waist after". Well chosen and taken Andy - good fun image
 
Thanks all, well, one to week 35 :)

15 photographs with the 105mm and stacked in PS.

I have another idea but needs Jackie and Isabelle's assistance and it always costs me with Isabelle :)

Cheers.

Oooo look, a Triffid! you don't see many of those about these days!

Interesting image Andy, loads of detail. ( but then again I would hope so with 15 stacks :D )
 
15 stacks, that's dedication but it has paid off, nice detail, I do like a bit of botany.
 
Yes ... get caught in possession of opium and claim to be a botanist.

Nice stack job (a thing I've never tried) and nice White BG with Black border ... so on theme. ;)
 
I really like shots like this, simple in idea if not in execution!!
Is it a poppy head? (I'm no botanist).
Perfect for the theme.

Cheers, I'm a fan of botanical photography as well, the details are amazing.

It is a poppy head, we have around a dozen growing every year in the same spot :)

Cheers.

Hi Andy ....excellent choice in the poppy head, and well done with all that stacking, you've captured the detail really well but retained a delicate feel about it....very nice.

Can't really add anything except that seeing images like this make me want to have a go at stacking too.

Thanks all, appreciate the feedback. I do enjoy stacking a good botanical subject.

Well spotted, Stan @rpn :)

Cheers.
 
A very striking image Andy. Not sure why, how and when .. or indeed what, stacking is to be used but it certainly produced a very professional-looking image.
 
Great photo, and very sharp (as you would expect with 15 images stacked). Did you use a rail?

Very nicely done...I think I need to work on this stacking business! The white background is perfect to set it off, too.

Thanks, all, Emma, see links above.

Paid a trip to The Peak District for a TP Meet with @Mardybum @ShutterWork and @Mark twiglet, @minnnt was also there.

Rain was expected but after a 03:00 alarm clock and arriving in advance of sunset....that happened, but blocked by clouds :bat:, then rain arrive around 3 hourts earlier than expected.

We took a trip to a disused slate mine Magpie Mine that has great star trail and long exposure potential, neither of which we could do, but will be back at some point. The onto a cafe for a drink and a pudding :). Rich mentioned a Cathedral, St John the Baptist, Tideswell, and what a place it was. VERY large for such a small place. Here's information about the cathedral.

I thought it was an apt subject for this week's theme. We noticed that a wedding was planned; out came my camera and tripod for a HDR, when the door opened and the advanced party walked in, in their finest attire. I thought, "I'm set up....so am taking the photograph :)", took 3 exposures, then decided to pack up.

I decided against any cloning.

They are a lot sharper when viewed in Flickr.

Here you go.

Cheers.

I think I prefer the colour version, nice muted colours and great symmetry

I do like a church (y)
 
Great symmetry, and well exposed. I also prefer the colour (but not too colourful) version.
 
Colour for me too Andy, nicely exposed and processed :)
 
Wonderfully ornate and detailed shot. I too prefer the colour version.
 
Some how the colour version seems to have less of a HDR feel to it than the B&W, so colour for me.
 
Hey Andy :)

Shame about the weather mate, what a bummer !!! I'm sure you would of made the most of it anyway :)

Ancient - Hmmmmmm On flickr I chose the B&W on my phone, but now on my monitors I'm not so sure, good symmetry and great light with them large windows, both very nice :thumbs:

Good job you got there before the wedding advance party Ha Haaaaa :)
