Creativity like this is wonderful, we have an infinite number of pics in our back garden just takes the right brain to find them.
The glow of the meeting point is ace.

Another goood looking shot Alan. To me it looks kind of lunar to look at. :toast:
Question. In this shot you have used six images in the last it was eleven. How do you know when to stop and start if its not to daft a question to ask.

Major - When looking down the view finder you can easely see where the focus field is, and how big it is by what f/ stop i'm using.My 1st shot will be the part of the subject that is nearest to me, and the last shot is the one furthest away.I never know how many shots it will take, i just click away :biggrin: .But i must not miss any of the fields when taking the shots as that will show up as a blur in the final stacked image, which ends up in the bin.

Cheers for the comments :wavey:

Hi Alan,

I'm suprised you used your stacking technique here as it looks like a relatively flat subject and pretty parallel to the camera.
Although saying that, you've certainly mastered the technique and are certainly delivering an assortment of quality images.
A very striking image indeed, full of interest and impact.
