Sika stag

                                                     Sika stag in Kent On a recent trip to Kent to photograph Fallow deer, I was surprised to come across this Sika stag- not that I didn't know they where about in this area, but that it was so confiding and happily went about its business without paying any attention to me. Normally these deer are very nocturnal in there habits and particularly shy                                            carlmckienaturephotography

Auto stack for HDR and Pano

                                  Auto stack for HDR and Pano A very useful feature in Lightroom is the Auto stack, I use this feature mostly when creating HDR or Panoramas, but it can be useful when shooting at the full burst rate of the camera (ie 12frames per second). It helps keep a clearer workspace and makes for easy access to a group of images, without having to try and work out the start and end of groups. It is customisable   To access the feature, first highlight the folder (or collection) you wish to create the stacks in, then right click on an image in the film strip (or the image itself) to bring up the menu-scroll down to stacking, then in the sub menu go to Auto stack by capture time.   This brings up a dialogue box set by default to one minute, and can be adjusted by moving the slider left (less time) or right (increase time).So if you where to set the time to one second and shot 12 frames per second, these would be grouped to a single stack.
