See the Virgin Islands set.

What I am trying to get across in this photo is that if you sit in this seat you need to be prepared to spend a great deal of money. The seating in this jewelry store is meant to isolate you with a salesperson, while the diamonds are bathed in high intensity light., making them sparkle and tantalizing. ;-)

Halogen light, the color is one Atn my own and the texture too.

A tricky challenge, getting the subject lit and the glass visible without reflections blocking the view.

Then I added an extra level of silly by choosing a silver and glass subject...

Drewton Railway Tunnel, part of the old of the old Hull & Barnsley Railway.

Outside of Hull, West of Little Weighton in an 83 feet deep cutting still lays the 2,114 yards (1.2miles) Railway tunnel.

The first goods traffic on 20th July 1885 with the passenger services a week later. This was short lived with Little Weighton’s passenger service ending on 1st August 1955. Through freight traffic ended in December 1958, marking the tunnel’s retirement. A shuttle service from Hull fed the coal yard until 1964 but, that summer, Little Weighton’s rail connection was finally severed, having survived less than 80 years

Feels like I'm running out of photos, :-)

Such a bad day, just lost the diamond earring I bought last week.... Have to track back where I passed and checked every glittering particle I see in the road and proved that "not all that glitters" is diamond They were mostly debris from broken glasses or something. -(

I'm such a chicken when it comes to taking pictures in public places, especially if it is of a random thing that most 'normal' people wouldn't take a photo of. I just imagine them thinking, 'Why is he taking a photo of a light fitting?', and wimp out. In all likelihood they were right to question why I was taking a shot of a light fitting but I saw a nice line and was brave enough to take a quick shot (even if I did pretend to take another few to look a little less odd!)

I think I'll stick with halogen.

Christmas green, gold & red

Just a bit of fun photographing Christmas decorations on a rainy night! This was testing out the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens with two glass Christmas tree balls, some red, green and silver tinsel and a halogen light. A very Merry Christmassy result!

Emerald swallowtail (Papilio palinurus)

Mitutoyo 100x NA 0.70, tube lens: ITL200 (Nikon)

Illumination: Halogen and white(!) LED (Ra>95)

This is a collage of 8 pictures from the very same scale, but different illumination (white light, but different incident angles and different polarization angles). This leads to the brilliant iridescence of that butterfly.

Visit the album to see some colour variants of the scales!

This butterfly is a true master in structural (physical) colors. Oblique light produces blue/aquamarin, direct illumination results in a yellow reflection. Back-illumination yields red/brown. Thus, depending on illumination angle (and polarization) any mixture between yellow and blue can be obtained. In addition to the iridecent scales, there are several "normal scales" with pigment colours from brown to orange, yellow and almost white. If you are interested in the details, here is a nature article explaining this phenomenon:

Vukusic, P., Sambles, J. & Lawrence, C. Colour mixing in wing scales of a butterfly . Nature 404, 457 (2000).

Green aphid (wing) (Aphidoidea sp.)

Illumination: coaxial (pure epi-illumination with white light (halogen lamp)

Mitutoyo 50x NA 0.55, tube lens ITL200 (Nikon)

Illumination: coaxial (pure epi-illumination with white light (halogen lamp)

The wings of aphids are rather thin (about 500nm), and also very rough (+-160nm). Thats why they show up with rather small regions of the same color (in epi-illumination at high magnification), leading to the impression of psychedelic art.

See the complete animal here

This is a crystal of common table salt - sodium chloride, which I recrystallized, to get bigger crystals. In this macro shot the strict geometrical lines of the crystal can be seen, reflecting the alignment of the sodium and chloride ions at an atomic level.

The shot was done with macro rings and a shutter speed of 1/200, and an aperture value of 8. Used a halogen bulb for some additional light.

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Com a part pel meu intent per a poder projectar pel·licules de 8mm (no super-8, que és un tipus posterior), així com revelar-les en positiu directament jo mateix, vaig buscar un projector adequat. Del meu pare he trobat un projector de Super-8, que a sobre no va bé. Per tant, vaig buscar per internet.

Finalment em vaig decidir pels projectors Eumig P8, que semblen molt barats i facils de trobar. El model basic es fabricà entre 1954 i 1963. Però em vaig trobar amb que no sembla funcionar el conctacte electric amb la làmpada, que a més només pot ser d'un model especific descatalogat i molt car i dificil de trobar. Però vaig descobrir que Eumig posteriorment va modernitzar el P8 al model P8 Automatic Novo (1964) amb diverses millores, sobretot canviant les làmpades a les encara actuals halogenes.

Vaig anar al Penedès a buscar aquest projector, però em vaig trobar que només funcionava el motor/ventilador; ni es movien els engranatges de projecció ni funcionava la làmpada. Amb tot, el vaig portar a casa. Vaig poder identificar els problemes principals: la làmpada estava trencada i la corretja de transmissió completament desintegrada (és de goma). Per sort la làmpada és halogena i en vaig comprar una el mateix dia per pocs euros. La corretja per sort encara es troba online i la vaig comprar a la web holandesa especialitzada Van Eck. Ara el projector ja es movia i feia llum. Però en carregar pel·licula, aquesta refusava anar endavant o fins i tot, tirava enrera.

Hi havia algun problema amb la "urpa" que fa avançar fotograma a fotograma la pel·licula, pel que va ser necessari desmontar el mecanisme... sense manual d'instruccions ni tansols algú que ho expliqués online. Per sort no hi havia peces extremadament petites a perdre, o parts trencades. Com em pensava, tot el mecanisme estava ple de lubricant transformat en una barreja de porqueria i goma, embussant-ho tot. Un cop net amb kleenex, palets i alcohol isopropilic, el sistema funciona de maravella.

================================

As part of my attempt to be able to project 8mm films (not super-8, which is a later type), as well as develop them to positive directly myself, I searched for a suitable projector. I found a Super-8 projector from my father, and not in working condition. So, I searched the internet.

I finally settled on the Eumig P8 projectors, which seem very cheap and easy to find. The basic model was manufactured between 1954 and 1963. But I found that the electrical contact with the lamp does not seem to work, which can also only be from a specific discontinued model that is very expensive and difficult to find. But I discovered that Eumig later modernized the P8 into the P8 Automatic Novo (1964) model, with several improvements, notably changing the lamps to the still currently sold halogen type.

I went to visit the seller, to look for this projector, but I found that only the electric motor/fan worked; neither the projection gears moved nor the lamp worked. Still, I took it home. I was able to identify the main problems: the lamp was broken and the drive belt completely disintegrated (it's rubber). Luckily the lamp is halogen and I bought one the same day for a few euros. The belt is luckily still found online and I bought it from the Dutch specialist website VanEck.

van-eck.net/en/web-shop/

Now the projector was already moving and projecting light. But when loading film, it refused to go forward or even pulled back.

There was some problem with the claw that advances the film frame by frame, so it was necessary to disassemble the mechanism... without an instruction manual or even someone to explain it online. Luckily there were no extremely small pieces to lose, or broken parts. As I thought, the whole mechanism was full of lube turned into a mixture of filth and goo, clogging everything up. Once cleaned with kleenex and isopropyl alcohol, the system works wonderfully.

This low-cost, dual Halogen Worklight stand from Home Depot sure puts out lots of light! And it’s great for everything from fixing the plumbing or rebuilding a transmission to photographing delicate perfume bottles or vases. Hope this doesn't hurt your eyes. ;-)
