A clematis seed head catching the light on a sunny afternoon over the weekend. Like Columbine, poppies and Love-in-a-Mist, these are some of the most fun flower seed heads to shoot.
Fiber-optic thing-a-ma-jammer used to simulate the use of wire wool... Taken at long exposure...
**Disclaimer** : No persons were burned, scarred, maimed or otherwise during the making of this still.
(though I had suffered some rotator cuff inflammation and soreness immediately after the shot.)

After a few attempts with relatively fast-moving objects with relatively quick shutter speeds, then slower-moving objects with longer shutter speeds, I wasn't getting any motion blur. Pics looked like either a double exposure or a chaotic mess. In the end, I ended up putting my camera on a tripod and swinging this fiber optic LED light fixture suspended from the ceiling, just firing off about 50 shots while it swung at different speeds. This was the most interesting of them, to me.

Using macro lens, took a shot of fiber optic cable strands that are planted as a lamp in a friends front yard. Just playing with the new lens.

All images that follow are the result of my exploration with manufactured flowers and flowers I have fashioned from ribbon, cloth, a variety of paper products, and dried flowers. Images from the Silk Road Album are included with Fiber Exploration.
Slightly better pic of the color. Still doesn't show the grays very well.
My drop spindle & fiber kit was supposed to be delivered Fri. The box was partially crushed, guess that's why it was late :P
Top whorl bird's eye maple 1.5oz drop spindle & 4oz Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) in the "Our Maine Coast" colorway from Highland Handmades.
I have to "blame" 99% of my current purchases on videocast enabling. Heard about Highland Handmades from "Knittin' on the fly".
I wanted to try and replicate a shot from a few days back. I tried and failed last Saturday so thought I'd have another go tonight.
Same set up as last time but with added black fibers from www.lightpaintingbrushes.com bottom left and top right.
Camera rotation and panning during a single lens capped long exposure.
SN/NC: Hibiscus Tiliaceus, Malvaceae Family
Hibiscus tiliaceus, commonly called sea hibiscus or mahoe, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is native to tropical regions of Asia where it is often found growing along coasts and in low moist areas. It is now grown as an ornamental in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Flowers last only one day, opening in the morning as lemon yellow with dark maroon throats, but turning dull red by evening when they drop to the ground. Simple, heart-shaped leaves (to 8"long and 6" wide) with pointed tips are bright green above and hairy gray-green beneath. Fruits are brown ovoid dry capsules. Roots and flowers have medicinal value. In Asia, mahoe is harvested for the fiber in its trunk which is made into rope. Genus name is the old Greek and Latin name for mallow.
Specific epithet comes from tilia, the genus of basswood/linden, in reference to leaf similarity.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, gewoonlijk zeehibiscus of mahoe genoemd, is een groenblijvende struik of kleine boom die inheems is in tropische regio's van Azië, waar hij vaak langs kusten en in vochtige gebieden groeit. Het wordt nu gekweekt als sierplant in tropische en subtropische gebieden over de hele wereld. Bloemen gaan maar één dag mee, openen 's ochtends als citroengeel met donkere kastanjebruine kelen, maar worden' s avonds dof rood als ze op de grond vallen. Eenvoudige, hartvormige bladeren (tot 8 "lang en 6" breed) met puntige uiteinden zijn heldergroen aan de bovenkant en harig grijsgroen aan de onderkant. Vruchten zijn bruin eivormige droge capsules. Wortels en bloemen hebben geneeskrachtige waarde. In Azië wordt mahoe geoogst voor de vezels in de stam die tot touw worden verwerkt. Geslachtsnaam is de oude Griekse en Latijnse naam voor kaasjeskruid.Specifieke bijnaam komt van tilia, het geslacht van basswood / linde, met betrekking tot bladgelijkenis.
Hibiscus tiliaceus es una especie de árbol perteneciente a la familia Malvaceae, originaria de los trópicos del Viejo Mundo. Conocida con el nombre de majagua común de Cuba o majahua. Su epíteto se refiere al parecido de sus hojas con las de los tilos.
La madera de H. tiliaceus tiene un peso específico de 0,6. Se ha utilizado en una variedad de aplicaciones , como la construcción de canoas, leña, y tallas de madera. Con su resistente corteza se puede hacer en duradera cuerda, para el sellado de grietas en los barcos. La corteza y raíces se pueden hervir para hacer un té para enfriar fiebres y con sus jóvenes y frondosas brotes se pueden comer como verdura. Los nativos de Hawái utilizan la madera para hacer Iako (palos) para Wa'a (canoas), mouo (redes de pesca flotantes), y 'au ko'i (asas de azuelas)
Uma das mais lindas flores. Tem semelhança com o quiabo e o algodão e só dura 24 horas e já cai do pé. De raríssima beleza e muito delicada. O algodoeiro-da-praia, algodoeiro-da-índia ou majagua é uma árvore que atinge até 08 metros de altura, da família das malváceas, também conhecida pelos nomes de aguaxima-do-mangue, baru, embira, embira-do-mangue, guaxima-do-mangue, ibaxama, manhoco, quiabo-do-mangue e uacima-da-praia. Madeira frágil usada para embalagens delicadas e também para canoas já que é uma madeira flexível. Em algumas áreas é considerada invasiva. Na Ásia se usa muito para fazer cordas, já que é muito forte para isso.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, comunemente chiamato ibisco di mare o mahoe, è un arbusto sempreverde o piccolo albero originario delle regioni tropicali dell'Asia dove si trova spesso a crescere lungo le coste e in zone a bassa umidità. Ora è coltivato come ornamentale nelle aree tropicali e subtropicali di tutto il mondo. I fiori durano solo un giorno, aprendosi al mattino come giallo limone con gola marrone scuro, ma diventano rosso opaco la sera quando cadono a terra. Le foglie semplici a forma di cuore (lunghe fino a 8 pollici e larghe 6 pollici) con punte appuntite sono verde brillante sopra e grigio-verde pelose sotto. I frutti sono capsule secche ovoidali marroni. Radici e fiori hanno un valore medicinale. In Asia, il mahoe viene raccolto per la fibra nel suo tronco che viene trasformata in corda. Il nome del genere è l'antico nome greco e latino della malva.L'epiteto specifico deriva da tilia, il genere di tiglio / tiglio, in riferimento alla somiglianza delle foglie.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, communément appelé hibiscus de mer ou mahoe, est un arbuste à feuilles persistantes ou un petit arbre originaire des régions tropicales d'Asie où il pousse souvent le long des côtes et dans les zones peu humides. Il est maintenant cultivé comme plante ornementale dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales du monde entier. Les fleurs ne durent qu'un jour, s'ouvrant le matin en jaune citron avec une gorge marron foncé, mais devenant rouge terne le soir lorsqu'elles tombent au sol. Les feuilles simples en forme de cœur (jusqu'à 8 "de long et 6" de large) avec des extrémités pointues sont vert vif au-dessus et poilues gris-vert en dessous. Les fruits sont des capsules sèches ovoïdes brunes. Les racines et les fleurs ont une valeur médicinale. En Asie, le mahoe est récolté pour la fibre dans son tronc qui est transformé en corde. Le nom du genre est l'ancien nom grec et latin de la mauve.L'épithète spécifique vient de tilia, le genre de tilleul / tilleul, en référence à la similitude des feuilles.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, allgemein als Seehibiskus oder Mahoe bezeichnet, ist ein immergrüner Strauch oder kleiner Baum, der in tropischen Regionen Asiens heimisch ist und häufig an Küsten und in Gebieten mit geringer Feuchtigkeit wächst. Es wird heute als Zierpflanze in tropischen und subtropischen Gebieten auf der ganzen Welt angebaut. Die Blüten halten nur einen Tag und öffnen sich morgens zitronengelb mit dunkelbraunen Kehlen, färben sich aber abends matt rot, wenn sie zu Boden fallen. Einfache, herzförmige Blätter (bis 8 "lang und 6" breit) mit spitzen Spitzen sind oben hellgrün und unten haarig grau-grün. Früchte sind braune eiförmige trockene Kapseln. Wurzeln und Blüten haben medizinischen Wert. In Asien wird Mahoe für die Faser in seinem Stamm geerntet, der zu einem Seil verarbeitet wird. Der Gattungsname ist der altgriechische und lateinische Name für Malve.Spezifisches Epitheton stammt von Tilia, der Gattung der Linde / Linde, in Bezug auf die Blattähnlichkeit.
الكركديه tiliaceus ، المعروف باسم الكركديه البحري أو mahoe ، هو شجيرة دائمة الخضرة أو شجرة صغيرة موطنها المناطق الاستوائية في آسيا حيث توجد غالبًا تنمو على طول السواحل وفي المناطق الرطبة المنخفضة. يزرع الآن كزينة في المناطق الاستوائية وشبه الاستوائية حول العالم. تدوم الأزهار يومًا واحدًا فقط ، وتفتح في الصباح بلون أصفر ليمون مع حلق كستنائي داكن ، ولكنها تتحول إلى اللون الأحمر الباهت في المساء عندما تسقط على الأرض. أوراق بسيطة على شكل قلب (حتى 8 بوصات طويلة و 6 بوصات) ذات أطراف مدببة تكون خضراء زاهية من الأعلى وخضراء رمادية مشعر أسفلها. الثمار عبارة عن كبسولات جافة بنية بيضاوية الشكل. الجذور والزهور لها قيمة طبية. في آسيا ، يتم حصاد الماهو للألياف الموجودة في جذعها والتي تتحول إلى حبل. اسم الجنس هو الاسم اليوناني واللاتيني القديم للملوخية.صفة محددة تأتي من التيليا ، جنس الزيزفون / الزيزفون ، في إشارة إلى تشابه الأوراق.
I've had a pretty lazy Sunday and haven't even left the house today so I just took this. It's a fiber-optic light.
The guy the call "The Laddy" (Corey) on Photoshop TV loves to render "fibers" so I thought I'd play around with that. That's how I got the texture here.
Optical fibers can be used for communications, but they can also make for a nice photo! Look at all the pretty lights!
Explored (#132, September 8, 2009)
.
From back in March, either in or just outside of that building adjacent to the mediterranean conservatory. Too long since I'd photographed this to remember whether inside or out. But I suspect inside with lots of other desert based plants, down on the ground level.
Might anyone have an idea of the sort of plant/flower this is? It wasn't labeled (or I didn't find the sign).
aka using more junk to make art.
i have a ton of sheets and fabric in my room and we've been shredding them up and weaving them into thin cardboard, then adding oil pastel and tempera for embellishments. i'm always shocked at how many kids struggle w/ the "over under" concept, and shocked again at the kids who DON'T struggle, yet i expect to. :)
TGIF!!!!
