View Huge on Black and turn off the lights

 

In Picnik

Crossprocessed blue and red channel,

Vibrance action at 50% to make the little lights, then selective desaturation to the foreground 80% to complete the look. Use the B+W function faded 20% and then erased off the "lights" in the background. Clear as mud eh!

 

Oh the title is a comment on the contrast between the grasping, rising outer stamens and the cowed bent over central ones. As far as I can make out they are all the same, just their attitude is different.

 

They can because they think they can...

A clinging mayfly nymph in the Heptageniidae family. The circular projections on the pronatum signify Ecdyonurus sp.

Detail of red zip wrapping around the suitcase, Beside the unusual form, I love the color.

 

This is a less tight crop, than the photo for Macro Mondays.

Suspended for a fraction of a second, this perfectly formed droplet is a moment of pure symmetry. It is weightless yet powerful, embodying the delicate balance between motion and stillness. A fleeting crystal ball, reflecting the world in microcosm before it vanishes.

My little snowdrops are buried under several inches of snow this morning so glad I took some shots before the snow arrived.

Macro images of the flowers of Ledibouria socialis Silver Squill a tiny flower yet so beautiful.

A crown of liquid fire, bursting from the shadows. The interplay of red and black creates an elegant yet chaotic energy, a moment of raw beauty forged from precision and chance. The art of high-speed photography turns a simple droplet into a masterpiece.

Just wanna thank you all, my flickr friends, for all your constant appreciation.. and continued friendship..

A shot from yesterday lunch time... I went out with a specific intention of capturing some blossom, it's not easy especially when there are so many great ones all over Flickr at the moment.

 

To me this one looks like one of those splash shots when something is dropped into milk :-)) (Hence the title)

 

Still trying to catchup with everyone's streams from yesterday, bear with me, I'm getting there :-)) How do you all find the time to Shoot, Process and Flickr at the same time :-))) LOL

 

Have a Gorgeous Green Thursday!!!

 

Explore #3

Not sure on species given it is a nymph.

The first drop descends, piercing the stillness. A moment so brief—measured in milliseconds—yet so powerful. Gravity pulls it downward, and in its descent, the stage is set for a stunning liquid collision. The beginning of an intricate dance between time, water, and motion.

Thanks everyone for kindly stopping by.....I've had houseguests over the weekend but I'll catch up on visiting you very soon!!

These images capture the mesmerizing beauty of water drop collisions, achieved using a Pluto Trigger and Pluto Valve for precise timing. The top layer consists of milk, while the base is water infused with red food coloring. The contrast creates a stunning visual interplay of fluid motion, forming delicate structures that last for just a fleeting moment.

 

Each droplet descends in milliseconds, rebounding into an intricate dance as the next drop collides. The swirling milk and red water create otherworldly forms—some resembling volcanic eruptions, others evoking the sense of a rising phoenix. The physics behind each shot is as captivating as the aesthetic result.

 

By fine-tuning the drop size, delay, and flash timing, each frame becomes a unique, unrepeatable composition. A perfect example of the unpredictable nature of fluid dynamics, frozen in time.

For a wonderful flickr-friend: .~Skyler Nova~. ... with best wishes for health and happiness ...
