FROM THE SERIES CIRCLES AND LIGHTS.
Fiber optic lighting systems transmit beams of light from a single, centralized halogen or metal halide lamp through glass or plastic fibers.
The densely packed bundles of fibers are twisted and drawn through an outer jacket to dramatically increase the amount of light that reaches the outlets.
They still fascinate me but I am less fond of those that change colours, I prefer mono, so I have these white and the one blue… so far…
Thanx you very much for your time, visit, comments and awards..., M, (*_*)

From the basement lab comes this 2.5" wide specimen.
On an aluminum tray, salt {~15 mL}, washing soda and sulfur were heated until the salt had melted leaving a mustard yellow mass that smelled strongly of hydrogen sulfide.
On the sample was then placed a solution of calcium chloride containing a drop of MnCl2 sol and a drop of PbCl2 ssol. which was absorbed into the yellow mass turning it whitish. The sample was then reheated until the salt had melted.
Suspected phosphor: CaS:Mn,Pb

18 Watt Triple Output UV lamp from Polman Minerals - Way Too Cool UV lamps
I had a fantastic halogen desk lamp in college that was great, except that, being halogen, it was very hot. I've wanted a small desk lamp since then, but never put much effort into the search, because I didn't want my face melted off.
However we're now squarely in the LED era, and LED technology has matured quite well.
This little OttLite is pretty great. It's lightweight, the base is about 6 in. x 6 in., and it's about 14 in. high here. The neck is fully adjustable, and since it's LED, there's very little heat. The light is listed as 5000 K, with a max output of 540 lumens, and has three settings. The switch is one of those nifty tap switches, and the plug can separate from the base for easier moving.
At $35, it seems a little expensive, but it has a fantastic combination of features. I'm sure if I were to really scour all the relevant retail outlets, I could find something cheaper and maybe even better, but I was in Hobby Lobby already for a wreath and just decided to pick it up.
This thing is perfect for me because a brighter light makes it easier for me to distinguish some of these brick colors from each other (I'm looking at you, red-brown and dark red).

This is a shot into a bright shining halogen lamp - somehow the flashlight must have compensated the halogen light!
Happy New Year and God Bless!
I used a 24” photography tent and a variety of halogen and incandescent lights to capture these three varieties of the quartz mineral; Rose Quartz, Rock Crystal, and Amethyst. Each sphere is approximately one inch in diameter.
A few people asked about my 'setup' for water drop shots. It's rather Heath Robinson, but this hopefully illustrates the basic method.
Camera on tripod.
One black roasting dish full of water.
A couple of foil birthday balloons lit with a halogen lamp to provide the colour.
100mm macro lens manually focussed on the water surface - I just dip a teaspoon into the water, focus on that and use that as an aiming point for landing the drops.
No flash used.
One teaspoon to dribble water from.
Burst mode to take a series of shots.
A wireless remote shutter release is handy, but not shown here!
Need to play about with angles to get the best reflections.
High ISO 800-1600 and manual exposure settings - most are f/2.8 at between 1/500th and 1/1000th second
Large bottle of Patience - about 1 in 10 are useable shots!
Have fun if you try this!!!
I enjoyed playing around with my coloful gumballs. I used a white posterboard for my background and a small halogen desk lamp for the lighting. Because my camera doesn't always capture the true colors (and because I don't have the best lighting in the world), I over-exposed the photo at the +1 mark. I think it worked pretty well to bring out the bold colors and to get rid of those pesky background shadows. Though I do sometimes look at this and think that the colors are a little too vivid -- especially the top orange, pink, and blue gumballs. So vivid that it borders on fake and over-processed. I am looking forward to a new camera (I have my eye on the Canon EOS 450D) that will provide some better-quality photos both in clarity and color.
If you suffer from shadows, here is some over-the-counter medicine!
1) Try over-exposing it with your exposure meter (from -2 to +2) like I did.
2) Try over-exposing it time-wise by changing the time value of the shot. You will definitely need to put the camera on a tripod or on something that will not move during the shot (e.g. not in shaky hands). Then, find your TV (time value) feature if you have one and choose to expose the shot for several seconds -- this is the time that the shutter will stay open to absorb all of those delicious photons (Mmmm, photons....). You might also want to mess around with your Aperture Value (the f-stop function that goes from around 2.7 to 8). The aperture value is basically the size of the opening (or aperture) through which light (photons) will travel. If your eyes are a camera, then holding your eyes open for a long time is the Time Value and squinting will change the Aperture Value.
3) Take a regular photo and then try to "burn" it out by turning up the contrast in post-processing and/or erasing the shadows from the top copy to reveal the shadowless copy layered below. I describe this method in detail on my Turtle picture.
4) Use your flash (yuck!). This can result in lots of ugly reflections, so I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, it usually adds the wrong type of light to an object, making it look like washed out or yellow. If you do use your flash, try changing the flash value -- this changes the time the camera flashes in relation to when the picture is taken and it can sometimes have a better effect than using full-force flash (especially when taking portrait photos).

This 2011 Ford Crown Victoria belongs to the Borough of Verona Police Department. This is their last Crown Victoria, while the rest of their fleet is the new Ford Police Interceptor Utilities. It is equipped with a Whelen Liberty light bar and a single halogen spotlight. The unit is kept inside when not in service. The reflective tape is neat, for it is one piece across while most of them split back across the rear. Since the last time I have seen this unit, they have added grille lights.

At 11:12 GMT (13:12 CEST), 6 June 2018, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was launched into space alongside NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Roscosmos commander Sergei Prokopyev in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The launch went as planned as the 50-m tall Soyuz rocket propelled the astronauts to their cruising speed of around 28 800 km/h. Within 10 minutes of rising from the pad, the trio travelled over 1640 km and gained 210 km altitude. Every second for nine minutes, their spacecraft accelerated 50 km/h on average.
The spacecraft is an improved model from the last time Alexander was launched into space in 2014 with many technological upgrades to make the spacecraft lighter and more modern. For example, halogen lights have been replaced with LEDs, and newer and larger solar panels increase power generation.
Over the next two days, while circling Earth 34 times, the trio will catch up with the International Space Station where they will spend the next six months. The journey is relatively smooth and quiet after the rigours of launch. With no Internet or satellite phones, the crew relies on radio to communicate at set intervals with ground control.
The German astronaut is a returning visitor to the International Space Station, the first of ESA’s 2009 class of astronauts to be sent into space for a second time. During the second part of his mission Alexander will take over as commander of the International Space Station, only the second time an ESA astronaut will take on this role so far.

I have for many years wanted to see the very old little church known today as “la Madelène de Bédoin”. Already in 2021, all I had managed to gather was a glimpse of its lovely bell tower, and a brief chat with the owner of what is now a private property, which conversation allowed me to understand that he was then having guests and that intruding upon the party with photographic equipment to document his Romanesque chapel was not appropriate.
Since then, I tried many different ways to approach either the family or the usual “Friends of the Chapel” non-profit organization in order to weave my way through and into the property, to no avail. In the Fall of 2024, while preparing for our October trip to Provence, I tried again, and that time I struck pay dirt; all obstacles were removed, all doors and barriers were opening, and even our schedule aligned with that of the owners, through the cordial welcome of one of their daughters. May she be thanked! I will say no more.
The Provençal village of Bédoin is located roughly between Vaison-la-Romaine and Carpentras, in the shade of Mount Ventoux, “the Giant of Provence”. No one knows why this little church, set in a quiet vale of olive trees a stone’s throw from the village itself, is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, but this couldn’t have happened prior to the 12th century, which is when the cult of that particular saint spread through Provence. The church is quite a bit older, and seems to have been dedicated to Saint Peter before. Indeed, one of the oldest parchments kept in the archives of the Benedictine abbey of Montmajour, dated around 960–70, mentions a deed of gift of several churches of the village of Bédoin to the abbey that had then just been founded by Teucindus in 947 or 949; among them was a so-named Saint Peter of Monastrol (which means “small monastery”), and that one was dubbed “the most important church outside the village of Bédoin” —hence, obviously, the one we know today as La Madelène, with this unusual spelling typical of Provence.
Having become a priory of Montmajour, Bédoin had, in turn, several “sub-priories” depending from it. All of them were joined in 1502 by a papal bull to the chapter of canons of the Carpentras Cathedral, probably following the monastic decadence subsequent to the in commendam placement of the abbey. Saint Peter was thus brought down to the level of a simple rural priory. It was probably then that the church’s dedication was changed to that of Magdalene.
Then came the ravages of the French Revolution, which proved exceptionally violent in Bédoin, but left our little church in a comparatively not too bad state. In 1970, a small community of Benedictine monks restored monastic life in Bédoin, but the monastery, in need of more space than was available, was transferred to the nearby village of Le Barroux in 1980 and the property was sold to the family that stills currently owns it.
Listed as a Historic Landmark in 1947, the priory church of La Madelène was built around Year 1000, with the top floor of its bell tower slightly more recent (around 1070–90). It is a charming example of the so-called “First Romanesque Art”, a squat little church of basilical floor plan with only two rows, yet three naves and three semi-circular apses. Like most edifices of the early Romanesque age, the walls are much thicker than necessary, and the windows are scarce and narrow.
Access to the church nowadays is via a narrow, barrel-arched doorway opened in the southern side wall, but that opening must be recent, judging by the aspect of the archivolt.
The inside is small and difficult to photograph. Here we are under the bell tower, in the central part, with the main apse to the right and the northern one in the background, lit by a halogen lamp shining at the vault.
True to the teaching of Dom Angelico, osb, I did not forget my gas lighter, so I could light the candles on the altar...

Active Assignment Weekly: July 5th -July 12th, I scream for Ice Cream
Okay, I have no ideas, so I came up with this one; straightforward, a summer theme: Ice Cream. I want to see Ice cream. In all shapes, all flavours, everywhere you like.
Restrictions: Don't put your ice cream just on a plate, be creative!
Dare: Scream for Ice Cream
*******************************************
Some people scream for joy for ice cream, others scream in horror as their fresh scoop rolls off their cone!!! This picture is in memory of all fallen scoops. M.I.P. (Melt In Peace)
This had to be one of the funnest (why isn't that a word?) assignments for me to do ever!
WIT: Had to drill little holes for the pipecleaner arms and legs. Got all my lighting set up before I took out the ice cream. Once it was good, I scooped the ice cream and waited for it to melt.
The lighting was a diffused 500w halogen to the right and a snooted desk lamp to the left for a spotlight feel.
Now light, above and below......
Halogens above, softened by screen
Strobe below dampened, gently seen
Connected by cord, light aglow
Lighting courtesy of multiple overhead halogens, damped by a handheld screen and a Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite, connected by a 3' extension cable and mounted about a foot below the bloom.

a nice sunset in my corner of the world is hard to come by these days. it always rains right before sunset and by the time it stops there's just this mist everywhere. such a pity...
this was taken in late may. gee, almost three months ago! hdr with mild tone mapping and put it through photoshop for some layer masking on the city.
have a great weekend!

With the ever green conscious society we live in forever looking to reduce our power consumption the halogen bulb will soon be part of our history. Buying this Tungsten proved that most stores no longer stock the traditional halogen bulb.
I thought the idea of the hangman's noose and the "mysteriously" lit light-bulb would make a good image for a still life study.
Thanks to Brian Chappell for assisting me in getting the dimmer switch working so I could take the shot with the element just glowing. The red colour comes from the bulb just glowing which at these low levels of voltage changes the Kelvin temperature of the light. The bulb was hanging in front of a curved black background that I had lit just the lower portion to create the fade at the bottom of the image.
I used three Vivitar 285 flashguns on this image. All three pointed at reflectors that I had placed around the bulb to create the edge effect on the glass. I used a Modahaus 600 curved table top for this shot to create the graduated background.
I have not finished my work with this image but thought I would post the intermediate shot as I was pleased with my work so far tonight.

Hey Greg, I'd forget about your near death experience if I were you!
The giant crystal ball in the lobby of Hotel Le Crystal in downtown Montreal is a jaw-dropping sight to behold. It is made up of hundreds of 50mm faceted crystal balls that hang from fishing lines to form the giant ball. They are lit from above with powerful halogen lights. Each little crystal ball dangles and sways to the errant breezes wafting through this beautiful hotel's lobby. And, as they move about subtly, they catch and refract the light in a dizzying dance of ecstasy, throwing sharp little fire prisms everywhere.
It has become my dedicated obsession to try and capture the essence of this magnificent piece of art and, so far, I have to say, I have failed miserably. Although I am sure many will think this a nice photo and, to a degree, I agree. But only inasmuch as it's the closest I have come thus far in capturing some of the beauty of the love dance between the light and the crystals. But I am not exaggerating when I say that what you see here is a less than 2% translation of the magnificent reality of this scene. And I assure you, I am not being humble at all when I say this.
If you are ever in Montreal, make sure you visit the lobby of the Hotel Le Crystal. The best time is after dark. The ball can be seen from outside clearly, but you can also go inside and view it, photograph it, memorize it , as long as you want. I do. :)

My cousin's wedding was on the weekend and it was one of the nicest weddings I have been to. It had the little touches that made it different, including these lights. People were wondering what I was doing taking photos of the lights but I had a vision that involved turning up the contrast and turning down the highlights.
Before. Both banks of windows had the balloon curtains.
