Just for you Dave, I went out this morning with my FD 50mm f/3.5 macro....Did fairly well...most at f/5.6
.

Nice, especially in full sun like that. Thanks for the demonstration.
I assume was a demonstration, not a challenge har har har.
If was a challenge, and I can no longer blame it on the lens/equipment . . . Well, I could say you have better flowers to work with. Yah, thats it!

Very impressive.

I have some understanding of 30 stack. But I dont understand 3x30 stack. Does that mean at 3 exposures and 30 focuses?

Very nice work gents.
Couple from tonight. I forgot how well the 14mm prime works in low light.

Sorry. I kind of left out what the numbers mean. The 3 refers to what they call the focus differential which you probably already know is the DOF available on each exposure (range is 1 to 10) and the 30 is the numbers of exposures (range is up to 999). In this case with these settings over the 30 frames I ended up with about 2 inches in focus when finished.

Wa side is tighter and doesn't show as much road.

The old building obviously has history Grimly. What are we looking at?

The old building obviously has history Grimly. What are we looking at?

It's the old trackbed of the railway line that ran from Waterford to Dungarvan. This is the old signalbox in Kilmacthomas.
The old track is the dotted green line.

About 25 years ago I became aware of the abandoned railway line and made enquiries about purchasing the station building in Kilmacthomas. The railway company couldn't release any of the trackside property because the local authority had their eyes on it to make a country walkway / cycle route. It took many years before they pulled their fingers out and finally got it done.
