Caught these lovely insect webs in the London sun a little while back. Now that I'm exploring everything with a keen eye to take pictures with, I've noticed just how covered in webs everything is!

Happy New Year to all of my Flickr friends! I'm looking forward to sharing another year with all of you.
Guardando con occhi attenti, le gocce di rugiada rivelano un mondo meraviglioso, un quadro astratto di luce liquida.
Buona serata

The Arabian Starflower (Ornithogalum arabicum) -and I believe every Star of Bethlemen flower species, performs brilliantly under ultraviolet light. I’ve ordered bulbs from a few more species to confirm it, our gardens should be even more spectacular this coming year.
I suppose it’s helpful to see a “behind the scenes” view of this flower and the setup, which you can find here: donkom.ca/bts/IMG_6842.jpeg
I have a good number of ultraviolet lights being used here, most of them are the Convoy S2 plus a Convoy C8 placed at a distance – it has a much narrower beam and that extra distance helps it cover the subject better. Everything is controlled by a contraption made from Platypod bases, gooseneck arms, and clamps. Generally speaking, this is my typically studio setup for ultraviolet fluorescence work – the lights are placed quite close to the subject.
However, the proximity and intensity of UV light on certain plants generates a reaction. Some plants burn, others move. That makes it difficult to focus-stack these images, since there will be a small variance between shots. A technique I’ve utilized for years is to shoot in the camera’s “high-resolution” mode, sometimes referred to as pixel-shift mode, which allows me to generate a photograph four times larger in resolution than would normally be possible.
The theory is this: the closer you get to your subject, the shallower the depth of field. The inverse is also true, getting farther away maximizes the amount in focus. The camera needs to take eight shots in quick succession (some models shoot more, some less), but the overall time is still short compared to focus stacking. This is a manual stack of two separate images, manually layered in due to the movement that prevents automation.
This was shot on the new Lumix S1R II, and it has a secret weapon compared to its predecessor: longer exposures in high-res mode. The S1R was limited to 1-second exposures using this feature, but the S1R II can shoot up to eight second exposures. This was a two-second exposure.
These techniques and so much more are covered the second edition of my book Macro Photography: The Universe at Our Feet, now with worldwide shipping. Amazon in the US is awaiting their resupply, but you can buy direct from the publisher with global free shipping: www.routledge.com/Macro-Photography-The-Universe-at-Our-F...

"No frills,Just refill" With some social innovations to the way we purchase milk at our local supermarket we could cut back the carbon emissions of plastic bottle production and transport miles. Introducing a self-service milk station that brings back glass bottles that are 100% reusable and recyclable into supermarkets.
