An American copper butterfly perches on butterfly weed at the Burden Preserve (Armonk, New York)--July 11, 2009

A Flickr friend responded to my Incandescence rendition of the local beech woods by saying that they preferred the calm copper tones that you more naturally find in them at this time of year. I think that’s a good point so I have created a more natural version of a different ICM from the same set (taken about a minute and ten captures later).

 

So here we have it. The copper tones are beautiful though the bright backlight needed careful handling in the processing.

 

And then I completely messed up. I started thinking that the natural coloured streakiness of the image made a rather charming abstract. I wonder what would happen if…

 

I was doomed (and by extension I regret to say that you were also doomed). My brief adulation at having produced a photorealistic image evaporated like a misty morning - did it ever even exist?

 

The Eyes of Autumn was a straightforward play with that toy of many delights, the Affinity Mirror distort filter. I applied it twice to a copy of the image (both using two mirrors I think) and then blended the result back with the original image using the Glow blend mode, just because it looked nice. And cooked. And saturated. And… doomed, as I said…

 

For Debbie.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images :)

Hummer & flowers in 'tooled' copper (?) on black background. Artist to still be ascertained. Private collection.

 

It was difficult to photograph this framed work. The protective glass had so many reflections I had to avoid via crouching at awkward angles, but as worth it as a hummingbird finding nectar in a flower!

Bikini tops run $75-$600, most being in the $150-$300 range, depending on materials and cup size.

 

The copper-throated sunbird is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical mangrove forests.

I've had some luck with Small Coppers, so far this year. Sometimes I don't see any and I love them. Quite small at 32-35mm but very colourful.

Small Copper Butterfly in my garden today.

The Small Copper butterfly (Lycaena phlaeas) has bright orange forewings with dark brown spots and a thick, dark brown margin. It has dark brown hindwings that are banded with orange. Females are slightly larger than males with more rounded forewings and narrower copper-coloured hindwing bands. The abdomen of females is larger than males. Males are territorial and can be seen basking on bare ground or rock waiting for females, whilst also actively chasing off other insects that encroach on their space.

 

The Small Copper is on the wing throughout the summer between April and October. Adults can be seen feeding on ragwort and thistles, while the caterpillars feed on common sorrel and sheep's sorrel. Small Coppers can be found in dry, sunny habitats, including heathland, woodland edges, waste ground and downland. During good summers in the British Isles there may be as many as three generations between April and October, with the last generation overwintering as a caterpillar.

This Copper Basin Railway Train was hauling huge bars of smelted copper. I wish I had taken a photo of the bars. Next time I guess.

I accidentally left this pan on some low heat for rather a long time: it didn't destroy the pan but left it with these fantastic colours!

Taken at Two Med in Glacier NP. It was a very hot, record breaking heat during my stay there. This was taken with the last of the light. Almost 10pm.

 

Shot for Macro Mondays "Brush theme". Finally a shot I dont have to clone animal hair out of....

 

Green in the photo is from the corrosion on the copper brush used to clean out pistol barrels.

SY 1583 with the morning empties to the Kuangsan Copper Mine at Shenbutong on the Baiyin Mining Railway. This train ran every day after the morning passenger service has returned from the mine. The exact timing was difficult to predict as it could appear at any time over about four hours. Luckily, on this day there was enough time to climb the hills overlooking the line and take in the amazing views. The winding tower of the mine can be seen in the background with the yellow areas which are the spoil tipping from the now closed adjacent opencast mine.
