Macro Mondays 05/06/17 theme: Silhouette.

 

For this theme I chose an iconic silhouette from my childhood that of Darth Vader.The figure is just under 2" tall,for the background I used was a water mister which had blue LED's on it and a red light above,I chose these colours as they represent the lightsaber colours used in the film.To create the lightsaber I used a laser pointer to paint the area I wanted lit up.

Thank you for your time, faves and comments !

Macro Mondays 30/04/18 theme Plugs and Jacks.

On end of a ethernet cable and four blue LED's linked together to form a block then covered with black tape with eight slits cut into it.The block was placed behind the plug and the camera set for a four second exposure.A flash was used to light the plug first then I just move the block along for the rest of the exposure : )

Macro Mondays 10/06/19 theme Childhood Toys.

So the year was 1977 and a six year old me,my dad and grandad stood in line to watch this film called Star Wars A New Hope.At the time I didn't really understand it but I was hooked.From that moment on I wanted all the toy's and over forty years on I still have them.So I have tried to recreate one of the final scenes from episode six Return Of The Jedi,the bit were Luke battles his father Darth Vader in front of the Emperor.I used three figures (Luke,Vader and the Emperor) and used green and red LED's to light the scene and the Lightsabers.

Rittenhouse Square - Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

 

Rittenhouse Square, originally named Southwest Square, was one of five green areas designed into Philadelphia by William Penn. In 1825, the square was renamed Rittenhouse, after David Rittenhouse - a renowned inventor and astronomer. He was also the treasurer of PA (1777) and the first US Mint director.

 

During the Christmas holiday, the square is decorated with hanging-wreaths, -snowflakes, and a Christmas tree... all in traditional white lights. Not sure if the bulbs are LED's, but they have the wonderful warm glow of incandescents..

Club night at Moore Camera Club, oil in water with a coloured background and an off-camera light source.

The Polar Vantage V2 sport watch has an impressive arsenal of LED's and photodetectors placed in between, constituting an array of PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensors. The different wavelengths (colors) allow the detection of blood flow at different depths and for most skin types, before a highly optimized algorithm combines and untangles all those signals and figures out how fast your heart beats. Oh, and this has to run on a single battery charge for about a week... 😊

Le théâtre d'ombres de la basilique Notre-Dame, à l'abri du froid et des ténèbres de la Nuit, ne laisse transparaître que la sombre silhouette d'un crucifix éclairé d'une vive (mais paradoxalement obscure) lumière jaune-orangée, alors qu'au-dehors un monde à motifs vivement éclairé par des spots et réverbères à LED s'agite encore un peu, vit un peu, loin des préoccupations philosophiques et métaphysiques du monde de la Foi...

The roof of the courtyard of the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam is a self supporting structure, designed by architect Laurent Ney. It consists thousands pieces of glass in a metal frame. The design is inspired by the compass lines of old sea charts. In each of the 868 nodes are 4 LED's that can be controlled separately.

   

Macro 1X con apilamiento de foco por control de anillo de enfoque

Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control

 

Ingredientes:

-Nikon D600 + Nikor 105mm macro 1X

-Helicon Remote para control automático de la pila de foco mediante el anillo de enfoque (por medio de USB)

-Helicon Soft para apilamiento de foco (36 shots, Method B, R=4, S=2)

-Helicon lo puedes bajar a prueba durante 1 mes gratis, o una licencia para un año por 50€, controla casi todas las Nikon y Canon mediante USB. Existen otros proveedores de soft para stacking (apilamiento), p. ej. Zerene, ControlMyNikon o Canon, Combine Z, etc

-Opcional: impresora 3D (Up Plus 2) para la fabricación de focos, soportes, mesa de trabajo, etc. Puedes utilizar el sencillo 123D Design (free soft) para diseñar las piezas.

 

Receta:

-Montamos el bodegón con sujeto y fondo

-Lo iluminamos con 4 o 5 micro-focos de leds. Los focos se pueden diseñar e imprimir utilizando una impresora 3D y después montar los leds (alta luminosidad y 5300K), la alimentación es de 12vdc para grupos de 3 o 4 leds. La ventaja frente al uso de flash, es que se pueden dirigir los focos y componer la iluminación antes del disparo, además del volumen que se consigue jugando con la iluminación.

Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control

 

How do you can do it :

 

Ingredients:

 

-Nikon D600 + 105mm macro nikor 1X

-Helicon Remote control for automatic focus stack using the camera focus ring (using USB)

-Helicon Soft Focus Stacking (36 shots, Method B, R = 4, S = 2)

-Helicon: You can download a free trial for 1 month, or a license for a year for € 50, it controls almost many Nikon and Canon via USB. There are other suppliers of soft for stacking, p. ex. Zerene, ControlMyNikon or Canon, Combine Z, etc.

-optional: 3D (Up Plus 2) printer to manufacture light bulbs, brackets, desk, etc. You can use the friendly 123D Design (free soft) for pieces designing.

 

Recipe:

 

-Ilumination with 4 or 5 micro-LED bulbs. The lighters can be designed and printed using a 3D printer and then mount the LED´s (high brightness and 5300K), the power is 12VDC for groups of 3 or 4 LEDs. The advantage over use of flash, is that you can positioning the lights and lighting make up before shooting, in addition to the volume to be achieved by playing with these lighting.

-Shot photographs using, p. eg Helicon Remote. Helicon controls the approach to the movement of the focus ring before the photo shot, the whole process of taking pictures is automatic, you can watch videos on youtube

-For 1X do you needed 20-100 photos, depending on value of f, focal and deep of field needed, automatically calculated by the soft. Often used the sweet spot of the lens (usually in the vicinity of f5.6) to optimize results

-Now we stack of shots using Helicon Soft

-We can use Lightroom or the like to remove "halos" and "artifacts"

-Once you have practice, the whole process can take 15 min

-And sorry my English, please.

De laatste tijd zijn er zeer weinig class66'ers meer te bewonderen in Nederland, zeker het Belgische vervoersbedrijf Crossrail is helaas weinig te zien mede doordat de Neuss shuttle planmatig met 186'ers is gaan rijden. Op woensdagochtend 4 augustus kreeg ik een melding dat Crossrail was gezien met maar liefst één silowagen. Omdat ik wist dat de trein rond een uur of 12 normaliter terug keert, werd er naar het spoor gefietst, zonder succes. Na het middageten werd er nog een poging gedaan nadat ik de melding kreeg dat de loc gereed stond in Venlo. Gelukkig schoof er een dikke wolk voor de zon, omdat de trein anders fout voor de zon zou hebben gereden. Hier passeert de DE6312 (gelukkig nog zonder LED's) Deurne met een kort PTA/PET treintje richting Rosendaal en Geel in België

Bunte LED 's und Chrysantheme

High on my priority list for my return to Winnipeg was the Greater Winnipeg Water District, (GWWD). The problem with having class M-F 0800-1600 is that it presents a very small window to shoot as they’re a weekday only operation. However, twice a month they run in the evening to return from the intake east of Winnipeg. With class in full swing for week two, it was time to hit the books a little harder, but hearing of a planned run warranted a break from studying. Mark, Jack and I headed east of town on Wednesday, August 21st early in the evening. The plan was to chase the GWWD back to Winnipeg as light would permit. We ran into a westbound on the Redditt before veering off to the small community of Ross which is in the middle of nowhere. However, it’s crucial to the railroad, as there’s a back track where ballast is loaded for the shortline. Talking amongst ourselves, we waited anxiously for the crew returning to “the Peg”. Lots of time allowed for lots of angles to be sized up, and in the end, I climbed the relatively loose ballast pile to gain some elevation on the now cloudy evening. Finally as darkness was drawing all too close, the ALCO could be heard and then seen in the distance with their short train of various cars in tow, along with a ballast car framed off to the right. The only thing completely out of place which truly does date this photo, is the fact that 200 now sports LED’s for the headlights and ditchlights. One shot was all that we got in the waning light, but I was more then grateful to be able to shoot one of two working Alcos on the GWWD.

Lichtinstallation "Light Phenomena"

von Giny Vos

Five LED's in a Christmas mood!

 

Believe it or not, but none of the components are powered...

A green laser beam hits the LED's from the right while a desk lamp is responsible for the white light from the top.

The parts lie on a plexiglas panel and there is a red printed circuit board (PCB) underneath.

The biggest LED's are 10 mm in diameter while the smaller one are 5 mm.

Damatisches Blau am Himmel und dazu die vielen temporär installierten blauen LED´s haben Köln auf vielen tausend neuen Fotos verewigt.

A few years ago I decided to research my family history. I didn't know anything about any of my ancestors beyond my grandparents.

One of the things I learned is that my grandmother's grandfather (my 3rd great grandfather in Ancestry lingo) was keeper of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse from 1869-1876.

His daughter, Charlotte Ann Mason Moore, was his assistant keeper from 1872-1875. She is listed as the only female lighthouse keeper for Cape Lookout. Her uniform and other items used in her profession were on display at the lighthouse living quarters when I first visited it in 2016. The display was still there when I visited a few weeks ago.

I was amazed that the the oil can (first whale oil was used, then kerosene) weighed about 45 pounds. It had to be carried over 200 steps at least once per day to light the beam at the top.

The lighthouse is now lit by solar powered LED's, installed in Sept 2017.

I had intended to climb to the top of the lighthouse, as the people at the top shown here, but arrived too late in the afternoon.

Jahrzehnte lang zuverlässig. Ich habe im Keller noch immer Reserve, weil die Lampen kaum kaputt gingen... Jedenfalls bei uns.

Wenn ich überlege, wieviel Geld ich für die Quecksilber Energiesparlampen (mit der langen Anlaufphase) ausgegeben habe. Zum Glück sind die fast ausgestorben.

Wieviel Geld habe ich auch schon für defekte LED Designer-Lampen ausgeben müssen, weil die LED´s nicht tauschbar waren....:-)

Was tut man nicht alles für die Umwelt und für sein gutes Gewissen...:-)

Milepost 51 on the Missabe Sub used to be where it was at, untouched and standing tall. A freshly loaded U-Tac train with a rare, for a taconite train, C40-8 leads a pair of SD40's on an ore train. Chugging and howling south the split the untouched beginning, and end of CTC at MP 51. Now as you drive by, you can't even tell such a thing existed as the Missabe Sub is lit up all the way with LED's.

LED signals are great... Most of the time.. The Fond du Lac maintainer has his hands full today. Shown expertly cleaning signal faces at the intermediate near Lost Arrow Road for the approaching Q198 on Track 2.

The Hive (opened in 2016) is a multi-sensory experience designed to highlight the extraordinary life of bees. It stands 17 metres (56 ft) tall and is set in a wildflower meadow.

 

There are about 1000 LED's that light up as the Bees in a connected hive communicate with each other.

A macro view of rose gold safety pins against a burgundy felt background, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Pins." The frame represents 1¼-inches across.

 

Technical info:

The scene was illuminated by a single steady LED light panel, placed 90° CL, two-feet away from the subjects and at camera level. The green and blue LED's of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, placed overhead and to the right, were exposed for 1/8s to add a very subtle influence to the image (seen mainly around the bokeh balls).

 

Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with a 12mm extension tube attached.

This image taken from near the recreated one-room cabin originally built by Dallas founding father John Neely Bryan in Dallas County Historical Plaza on the West End of Dallas Texas features the Reunion Tower and historic Red Courthouse. The Reunion Tower was built in 1978 as part of a citywide urban redevelopment plan, it stands at 561 feet and features a stalk-like base with large glittery sphere on top. It has a remarkable observation deck in that sphere that provides an incredible view of downtown Dallas and beyond. I first visited the tower in 1984 and then again in 2023 almost 40 years later. It had been closed for quite some time for renovations. In this image taken at night shows some of the 259 color-changing LED’s on the sphere’s exterior that adorn the skyline with a myriad of patterns and color changes. The Reunion name is attributed to John Scovell, then-CEO of Woodbine Development Corporation a local who was fascinated with La Réunion, a 19th-century French settlement founded by followers of the socialist utopian thinker Charles Fourier not far from this site whose name was also applied to the Reunion Arena which was the former home of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, long gone now Reunion Park.

1,400 hand-blown glass spheres swirl into the playful shape of a gust of snow, a joyful interpretation of the sublime alpine hinterland of the InterContinental Hotel. This dynamic structure is animated by pairs of LED’s – one white, one blue – that illuminate each globe, and glisten along the chandelier’s surface. The installation stands at 28 metres long – a fittingly monumental centrepiece for the luxurious setting – and interacts with the snow-capped mountains through the towering windows that line the room.

LED's are near point sources of light and acrylic lenses are used to disperse the light. Thus the light is far more directional than a standard light source like a metal halide or fluorescent. This tight control of direction is called "cut off" and leads to very sharp and dark shadows.

 

The stuff of nightmares!

Excerpt from webapp.driftscape.com/map/64f8183e-d088-11ec-8000-bc1c5a8...:

 

Pixel Cube

25 York Street

 

Pixel Cube is a 12 x 15 x 18-foot cube made up of 30,000 individually controllable colour LED's suspended in the foyer of 25 York Street. The pixels create a three-dimensional image surface that can update at full video speed. Several different approaches are used to present abstract and real-world imagery on and in the cube. The cube can present material prepared in advance, but it can also be live, and interactive. The cube is a real three-dimensional display surface. By selectively lighting the pixels, dynamic light sculptures can be created and interacted with.

I like to say that some images are created and others are born; this is an example of the latter.

 

Technical info:

The image is a single exposure. Clear glass marbles were arranged on a sheet of aluminum, which was placed on top of a sheet of clear acrylic and set on top of the legs of an up-side-down wooden TV tray. The scene was illuminated from underneath by a Neewer ZC-10S 66-LED portable mini-light. The green, blue, and red LED's of a Coast TX10 flashlight were used to light paint the scene over the course of an 8-second exposure.

 

Lens: AF - S DX VR Zoom - Nikkor 18 - 200mm f / 3.5 - 5.6G IF - ED[II] with a 10mm extension tube attached.

Spent so much time in the make-shift studio this year. This forced agoraphobia makes you search around the house for anything that might be interesting to use along with the tools you already use. I found this tube of bubbles that kind-of set semi solid, if you catch em softly enough. Spent a few minutes catching a few bubbles on some black card and then sweeping over with the Digital Light Wand with a universe saved to a bmp. image which plays out on the led's as the wand is swept over the top. Using Sony A7ii and a 50mm Pentax Super-Takumar with macro tubes.

... or how LED's can be bright without emitting any light.

 

Believe it or not, but none of the components are powered...

A green laser beam hits the LED's from the right while a desk lamp is responsible for the white light from the top.

The parts lie on a plexiglas panel and there is a red printed circuit board (PCB) underneath.

The biggest LED's are 10 mm in diameter while the smaller one are 5 mm.

The first Advent, the first day of the last month of the year, has begun, the dark season. It's nice that we light a few lights ourselves, beautiful candles, sometimes with LEDs.

Giving a wonderful scent with baking cookies, a little walk and then allowed to gnaw off.

Beautiful 1st Advent ans HSS!

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

 

Der erste Advent, der 1. Tag vom letzten Monat im Jahr hat begonnen, die dunkle Jahreszeit. Es schön das wir uns selber ein paar Lichtlein anzünden, schöne Kerzen, manchmal auch mit LED`s.

Herrlichen Duft bescheren mit Plätzchen backen, ein kleiner Spaziergang und dann darf geknabbert werden.

Schönen 1. Advent und HSS!

Another test with some small LED's.... kinda enjoying playing around with them... although a really need to step up my game on learning to solder properly.

 

This was a test shot lit with one LED, and I like the results... the atronauts were just handy and it looked Alien-ish.

 

Simple shot stright outta camera (although cropped and watermarked).

Mud cracks and Milky Way....Another wake up at 12:30 am and hike out a little over a mile to a previously scouted spot in Death Valley National Park. We used our GPS to track back to the spot and got a composition as close as possible to what we saw during the day. This was my vertical composition. We used a combination of low light LED's to help illuminate the foreground along with some natural light from dawn. I began shooting the sky around 2:00am and kept going until 5:00am. This gave me some choices for the milky way in different positions as the earth rotates.
