These are really tiny bulbs (about 3mm long) all strung along fine plastic-covered wire and curled into a clear glass cylinder-shaped cover that sits onto a white plastic base. It's operated by an AA-battery that fits into the base and turned on and off with a tiny switch. It's a really pretty effect, all these tiny little bulbs encased in the glass.

Exxquisite moment of #pupa emerging into a beautiful #TigerButterfly.

My #NikonD3000 was good enough to capture this entrancing instant without expensive lens and flash.

Starting a series of shots as India celebrates #WildLifeWeek from 02Oct2019 to 08Oct2019.

Tiny spider about 2mm diameter sitting in the centre of its orb-web waiting for prey. When it sets itself up to catch prey, it stretches its 4 front legs forward on the web strands. Then it pulls back slightly, to tension the web, in order to feel vibrations as a potential meal catches in the sticky strands.

Yes, it was a challenge to find five 'somethings' that were the same, yet also somewhat unusual. So what are they? These, my friends, are tiny magnetic plugs that fit into your devices as part of a magnetic charging system. I have these in all my mobile devices (there's a little plug to fit each USB type) and then the magnetic charging cable fits onto any of them. The fun part in doing this, was attempting to control the way the little magnetic plugs randomly clung hard together when I was trying to set them into a pattern.

Pine cones are a quick and easy subject to shoot at home, so we thought we would take a look at how to get some cool and creative shots from a couple of pine cones in our latest tutorial video.

Watch it here - youtu.be/KyF3I8vjrNI

A lot of you may have seen the pine cone shot on our homepage, it's one of our favourite shots to demonstrate what the Adaptalux Studio can do. We used the same pine cone (and a new one) to get a few more interesting shots.

A shot like this is achieved by pointing two coloured Lighting Arms across each other, shining onto the pine cone. You can see more about the setup in the video or the blog post here - bit.ly/adaptaluxpines

The coloured lights shine off the spines of the pine cones really well. Depending on the angle of the camera and the lights, they can create some amazing highlights along the ridges of each spine and shadows deep in the pine cone where the light can't reach.

We think the addition of colour to a subject like this can really take your creativity to another level, what do you think to shooting pine cones in this style?

Duttaphrynus melanostictus is commonly called Asian common toad, Asian black-spined toad, Asian toad, black-spectacled toad, common Sunda toad, and Javanese toad. It is probably a complex of more than one true toad species that is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia.

Nertera dichondrifolia is a small creeping ground cover with orange/red berries that are dispersed by birds. Habitat is damp forest, particularly in mossy places on poor soil, where the ground is protected from drying out.
