I adopted this amazing black cat. I’m so fascinated with him. I didn’t know that black cat a the least adopted and the ones that are more likely to be put to sleep. I guess they have a false stigma. This one is so loving, so funny, so smart, vocal, play-full, and defender of the weak. I guess I’m cure of superstition!

Trying to catch T-shirts as IU scores school record 77 points (77-3) against W. IL eclipsing 1901 record of 76 (76-0) against Franklin. Most points ever but not quite largest margin ever.

Middle Tennessee has had some crazy weather with 6 1/2" of rain with flash floods and amazing lightning. Nothing like ending July with a bang! July 2024

Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is a flower that grows as “weed” in our gardens, and I often leave it be – the blossoms are beautiful, and it can be beneficial / edible. Young leaves can be eaten in salads, and older leaves can be used in soups as a thickening agent. Also, the flowers vibrantly fluoresce under ultraviolet light!
This is another image created with the iPhone 15 Pro Max paired with the Moment 75mm Macro lens. It’s a wonderful combination for macro explorations with your mobile phone, albeit not the only option. There are plenty of very high-quality add-on macro lenses on the market, just as well as there are plentiful garbage options. This just happens to be the one that works well for me. Coupled to the main camera, we’re capable of generating 48MP RAW files which give us a lot of flexibility in post-processing.
One thing that is always true of macro photography, whether it be with a traditional camera or with a mobile phone, is that the closer you get to your subject, the shallower your depth of field becomes. With resolution pushing close to 50 megapixels, you can sacrifice some of the resolution for increased depth of your in-focus details. Shoot a little farther away knowing that you can crop afterwards. These flowers have volume, they are not flat. If I have the center stamens in focus, the rest of the center of the flower will be out of focus, with focus returning to portions of the petals. It is only a thin slice of detail we’re able to capture, and precise focusing is helpful. To that end, I use the Halide app which offers manual focus control with “focus peaking”, allowing me to precisely tell where the greatest details will be in the frame.
I also find it helpful to use a Bluetooth remote trigger, any model will do. Keeping the camera as stable as possible is key, which includes not actively touching it to trigger the capture. If you have to do so, use a three-second or ten-second timer to let things settle down. I’d rather not take this approach if it can be avoided, since a plucked flower under intense UV light will start to fade quickly, and it will begin to move slightly in that process. Faster is better. Holding the camera in place is a Platypod Grip, which is by far the best phone holder for photographic purposes I have used; it’s worth the minor investment.
Photographic flowers in ultraviolet light can be transformative. You need a clean source of UV light that doesn’t spill over into the visible spectrum, and my go-to lights are the Convoy S2+. You can find them from many vendors, but make sure that you cannot see the diode in the front – there should be an opaque black piece of glass present, which is likely a ZWB2 filter. Without getting into the weeds (pun intended) about it, this helps remove any spill-off into the violet and blue colours. Our goal is to illuminate the subject only with light that we cannot see. I often use more than one flashlight for these images, which evens things out and speeds up the exposure time.
To understand what’s happening: the camera is nothing special, no modifications; you’re capturing visible light. However, the light source originates at higher-energy (shorter) wavelengths that the camera cannot detect. When this higher-energy light hits the subject, it excites electrons in specific atoms and raises them to a higher orbit. Then, almost instantaneously, they decay back to their original orbit and emit energy. However, something was lost in that process – the electrons moved, that takes energy. The emitted light therefore has lower energy, pushing it from the ultraviolet spectrum into the visible spectrum. The more the electrons were excited, the more energy is lost, and the deeper into the visible wavelengths the resulting light will become. That’s what we call the “Stokes Shift”. Science!
To see the original image, here’s a link: donkom.ca/bts/IMG_5224.jpg . Note that in the fluorescent version, there are blue veins running through the petals which are mostly invisible in the “regular” image. It almost feels like the plant/flower has a circulatory system, and that’s because… it does! Not quite like ours, and “circulatory” takes on a different meaning here, but there’s a lot going on in a flower. Coupled with the often-lobed ends to the petals and the stamens symbolizing a heart, the image gets the name “Heart of the Mallow”.

This Sonoma County wine country image was capture with an iPhone 15 Pro Max in in Pro RAW Max format. Edited in iPhoto, then converted to Jpeg for here. To give you a feel for the ProRAW Max resolution and detail.
A pair of vintage trawlers traveling the intracoastal waterway together anchor very close to one another in the Indian River Lagoon at the Vero Beach City Marina. Going to spend some leisure time here.
