While thinking about lenses, I'm playing with old ones. I think next time, I'll pull out the tripod and think a little more about what I'm doing.
A great day of optics at Summit. Changing but present much of the day. See notes for what is what and where. Among the optics are 22 and 46 degree halos, parhelic circle, parhelia (sun dogs) and more. Summit Station, Greenland Apr 27 12 1387

The Advanced Optics Facility at Brookhaven's Center for Functional Nanomaterials combines a broad range of optical instruments suitable for studies of optical properties of hard, soft or biological materials using ultrafast and nonlinear spectroscopy, and single-molecule optical and confocal methods.
Unusual if not rare shaped corona around a blocked sun was followed for several minutes as its formation was associated with high cirrocumulus lenticular clouds. Taken with Fujifilm X-T5, 16-55mm f/2.8 lens.

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Samsung Galaxy S5 mobile phone camera. This bright parhelion was visible for about 45 minutes. When it initially formed it was small and compact, but as the Sun's altitude decreased, the parhelion took on a tall and straight morphology which is the result of wobbly ice crystals lower in the atmosphere.
Years ago I bought one of those stupid Fiber Optics UFO's to put on a night stand... My wife hates it... :-) So it (not me, luckily) got condemned into the closet.
We are in the process of moving and yesterday I cleaned out that closet and found it again. My wife urged me to through it out and I agreed (the thing is terribly ugly after all); but before that I wanted to take some pictures and I'm actually quite happy with how they turned out. Let me know what you think.
Oh by the way, she likes the pictures.......... :-)

My last shots at the zoo are not of animals at all but some rather wonderful fibre optic lights on the way into the Twilight Enclosures. This is the first of 3.
A fiber optic novelty item shines brightly in the darkness of a room. Each tiny speck of colored light is the result of light exiting at the end of the fiber. The collection of fibers from which the light is exiting is bundled together at one end where the light enters. Each fiber takes on a parabolic curve. Light entering the fibers undergoes total internal reflection (TIR) until it exits the fibers at the end.
For more information about the physics of total internal reflection, visit The Physics Classroom Tutorial - www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/refrn/index.cfm.
If you push a macro too far past telecentric, you get a pericentric lens, where the perspective is inverted: farther objects appear larger than closer objects.
It leads to weird optical effects, like being able to see five sides of a die at once.
No photoshop magic here. This is essentially straight from the camera: just a resize to something small enough to upload in tolerable time.

This is the 1st time I've captured this optical effect since moving to Wyoming.
Playing with fiber optics, exposure and a multicolored flashlight. I'm going to have to revisit this on in the future
A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researcher views the interior of a 31.5-centimeter-aperture laser amplifier designed and built in the early 1980s for the Nova laser. Nearly $15 million was invested in joint Laboratory–industry programs to develop advanced optics-manufacturing technologies, greatly reducing the cost of Nova and giving U.S. industry a competitive edge in the global market for large, high-precision optics. The first Tron movie used the Nova laser for its location shots.
WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – U.S. Air Force Guards men, Staff Sgt. Darry Walker (left), and Master Sgt. Mike Leddy, both 217th Engineering Installation Squadron, Springfield, Illinois, separate colored stands of fiber optic cable to determine which stands need to be spliced Sept. 24, 2009. Air Force Guard members from both the 271st and the 241st have spent over two months at Whiteman AFB replacing copper transmission cable with more efficient fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable will provide 50% more capability and expansion to utilize a greater number of networked products. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Senior Airman Kenny Holston)
The contents of my optics drawer. Lenses, spinning mirrors, fiber optics... the world is so full of neat things!
Took a trip to Chicago last weekend. We stopped at the Adler Planetarium. They had a little set up on optics. It was cool.

This is perhaps one of the oldest mural in Bandra Chapel Road .
I don't know its history but I shot it over the years .
#GraffitiArt
Foreigners mostly shot the wall outside Mori Road Mahim ..it had the best collection of art work I would walk from Dadar to Mahim shooting this long arty wall.
Near my house a building wall was done by Maya from Switzerland ..@ranjitdahiya did the Dada Phalke wall outside MTNL Building Bandra Reclamation.
Somehow unintentionally I shot the history of painted walls in Bandra .
Outside Railway Quarters at Khar kids painted a wall I shot that too and two years back I shot the painted wall of Mehboob Studios .
I am not an artist I knew painter Mr MF Hussain who had on e painted an entire wall at Mr Raj Babbars old Juhu house ..
