Shot somewhere on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula of Iceland with the Nikon Fm2N, outfitted with a Lensbaby Composer. Used expired (2007) Kodak EIR Color Infrared film. Shot through an orange color infrared filter. Cross processed in Unicolor C41 color negative chems.
Taken at the Allan Fairhall Reserve in Paterson, NSW.
My attention was drawn to the beautiful hues of the fresh bark on this gum tree, and the sweeping curve of the bright green algae.
These green dots in the East China Sea appear to be algae.

The algae bloom was covering the entire reservoir surface.
Snap a photo of it, crank the contrast and saturation over 1000. Shifted the white balance to get this aqua marine acrylic-ish pour photo.

I find seaweed very fascinating...and especially the red algae....this one is one i found last year in may and I am not sure what kind of red algae it is......I guess it is some kind of Ceramium or red hornweed....
I did take some close-up photos of it....placing it in water in my plastic-bowl, which is white and make it easy to see the structure of the seaweed.....
and i come to know it further by drawing it.....
So here are some of the steps in my work making it a picture....

Algae Madness.
A few days ago I revisited this incredible place that never ceases to amaze me!
This stone caught my attention powerfully due to its peculiar shape and the green algae that covered it.
I spent a good time there, testing compositions and moments until the trails of water created these beautiful textures.
Following on from a couple of days surgery, Ex First Potteries Dennis Lance 60100 (aka PMT 866) was road tested today with it's deeply cleaned fuel system and new Diesel. This was taken on the first 'local' run out keeping largely to roads within the industrial estate. With everything behaving well and sparkling performance restored, we declared it fit to be handed back over to it's owners.
Seen along the loop trail at the Admiralty Inlet Preserve on the west side of Whidbey Island on bark of a living tree. The orange and yellow algae (that is what they are) were plentiful on bark as seen from the trail. In this example, the orange bits are a bit spikey on the far right side, in the middle and towards the upper left become more so, and blend into what appears to be an infestation of mold in the upper left.
Luckily, they are on top of crustose lichen for scale.
Wondering what was going on, I sent a message to Richard Droker who enjoys looking at his small stuff and has lots of lichen up on his Flicker feed and has learned how to identify them. My notes as to where to look, etc. are in square brackets [ ]. From Richard --
"As you know, I like looking these lichen communities Yes, the orange stuff is a green algae, genus Trentepohlia. The bright yellow is Chrisothrix. Small fruticose lichens [white, twiggy bits] are an Usnea species. I think the underlying pale crust with lirellate (elongate) apothecia is Opegrapha (rather that Graphis) [dominate lichen in photo]. Another crust present has dark apothecia [upper right], which would appear pruinose if dry if my feeling that it is Lecanactis megaspora is correct. There is a small area of a crust with white apothecia [left side? poorly shown], which would require microscopy to identify. My take on the mold is that mostly it looks like dead Trentepohlia as there seems to be a transition from orange to white. And there is a tiny leafy liverwort." [Possibly the colorless, long, but very tiny moss-like bit hanging down near the center and a little below, but odd that it is not green.]

I can not identify this algae or seaweed...and maybe there are two.....one could be the long string...and another could be all the tiny hairs on it...maybe....
But it is such a lovely thing to see how it looks in saltwater conmpared to when i took it from the beach...it really shows it´s beautiful look when seen in water...
a few days later:
I am not sure but after some research I could see some similarities with Halosiphon tomentosus..
here is a link:
I haven't been to the wildlife refuge in Alviso for quite some time. Today I went to check it out and was startled by the algae invasion at the trail head. It was fascinating to look at. So I decided to compose this panorama using some wildflowers as the foreground subjects.
What type of filamentous algae would self-organize into a pattern like this inside one of the jars in my biology classroom? So bizarre and yet so beautiful.
