Teleidoscope's theme this week is Develop. This was a hard one! I had several ideas but decided that I wanted to tie the theme to the evolution of photography. It is striking to me how many photographers are now turning away from their dSLRs and looking to their iphones to capture and process their images.

A friend has suggested that this looks like a Decepticon.
This is a slightly different version from the previous post. I've been busy lately and have no time to shoot new ones.
Is anyone attending the Nikon/Glazer's Expo in Seattle later on today? I might sit-in for the Macro/Micro class there.

The ceiling of St Paul's Cathedral in London, apparently depicting scenes of evolution.
"The images, painted by William Blake Richmond in 1890, could appear to depict the theory of evolution. Internet giant Google has been detailing every inch of the building using high-resolution cameras that have, for the first time, shown the 30 metre-high ceiling in great detail.
The cathedral's head of collections, Simon Carter, told The Times newspaper that the mosaic appears to support Darwin's theories about the survival of the fittest - which he said is shown through a depiction of a fish with teeth 'fighting for survival.' From the ground and looking up at the ceiling, Simon Carter, said that the fish image appeared to be a 'calm mill pond.' He added that when seen on Google images, though, the scene looked 'tumultuous'.
'The fish are writhing around, they have massive teeth, and are pretty scary.' He continued: 'With the fishes, it looks like they are struggling for survival. "It is red in tooth and claw. Richmond was obviously driving at something else.'
Simon Carter then went on to say how, when the mosaic was commissioned in 1890, Charles Darwin's theories were still controversial. At the time, the Church was still grappling with his work, The Origin of Species, that had been published 40 years prior. The Church of England apologised for dismissing the work and ideas of Darwin in 2008."
The tower as part of the Moscow International Business Center. It looks like two ribbons twisting around each other.

Evolution of the medium that we use as film. I realize some people might swap the last two, but I ordered by size too.

Over the years the shapes of many kanji characters have changed. Usually one kanji character can have at least two or three, (and usually more), meanings. Yikes! No wonder it's so hard for us foreigners learn. These kanjis at the Stone Forest in Xi'an are some of the early ones.
Macro monday theme: evolution.
Vinyl vs SD card. Well, nowadays you don't even need an SD card anymore, just stream the music you like. So in that sense this picture does not show the latest stage of the evolution (but streaming would be difficult to photograph).
Somehow it turned out to get the vinyl free of dust was a real challenge. I used a special brush and some antistatics but still there was quite some microscopic dust particles. Some of them I could remove with photoshop repair.
So the advantage of the SD card is clearyl it does not suffer from dust. However, it cannot compare in terms of album cover art.
