RHK taking his second ride on some nearby prairie single-track.
Processed with the magic wand tool in the Flickr mobile app...a little too processed for my taste (the clouds in particular have an unreal appearance), but had to suffice whilst out and about.
I saw very few springbok (antidorcas marsupialis) whilst in The Kalahari, Botswana but these three animals were kind enough to pass by in single file around dusk. This part of the desert was extremely arid but springbok can exist without drinking water almost indefinitely because their diet includes succulent vegetation.

Single use plastic lids as an alternative take on this week's Macro Mondays theme: Lids. Happy Macro Monday.
This is another outtake from Macro Mondays "my favorite Book" theme. In this case the book is actually the series of "Jesse Stone" novels written by Robert Parker, the creator of the "Spencer" series of books. In these, Jesse Stone is an alcoholic cop fired from the LA police who somehow finds himself as Chief of Police in a fictional small town near Boston (and there is a sinister reason he was hired, which he thwarts, of course).
Scotch was his drink of choice, so this image is is of an actuall glass of a nice single malt scotch in front of some books. The visible book is actually called "Bootlegger", whioch this could also represent. It is written by Clive Cussler and features a "Van Dorn" detective (fictionalized version of the Pinkertons) who in this case captures some bootleggers during prohibition. Clive Cussler is another favorite author, obviously :).
esta foto se la quiero dedicar a una nueva flickr,amiga mia!!!!!....blueeyesss

📟 : H11 to Harrow
🚍 : DLE30275 - SN18KWH
H11 heads along Lyncroft Avenue whilst heading to Harrow operating route H11 from Mount Vernon Hospital.
Due to a burst water main on Cannon Lane, routes H11 & H12 are on diversion via Lyncroft Avenue (not served by buses) and then Eastcote Road.
Photographed February 2020 / Canon CANONFLEX Single Lens Reflex 35mm film camera with Lens Mount Convertor P & Pentacon 30mm/3.5 (Lydith) lens. Film was Kentmere 400 metered ASA 200 developed in PMK PYRO (5ml A + 10ml B > 600ml, 7min 10sec, 20*C). The negative was illuminated on a light table and scanned with a Pentax k3 DSLR and Schneider Componon-S 80mm/4 enlarging lens on helicoid extension tubes. The image was edited on an iPad mini using the Snap Seed application: full frame image scan of entire negative area without trimming.
My trip to Glacier National Park can't end without visiting the famous triple falls. Due to a dried year, triple became single falls haha. But it is still very nice to see.
A Single Touch from You
A single touch from you sends me to Elysium
Tickling my soul like a father tickles his child
Your touch- it begets happiness
It is the Midas of good vibrations
It has the remedy to soothe my aching heart;
The power to change my mind.
Your touch ignites the motivation-
To connect to a higher inspiration.
It puts weight on my breath-
Shifts the beat of my heart from blues to salsa
Causing my emotions to dance to its rhythm.
A single touch from you sends me to Elysium.

A single BNSF H2 Dash-9 smokes a bit as it passes through Forest Hill / 75th Street on the Belt Railway of Chicago with a short transfer for Clearing Yard. Judging by the consist of mainly auto-parts boxcars, I'm assuming this was the Ford Transfer from UP's Chicago Heights Terminal Transfer.

CSX train M641 chugs down the former Monon at Chalmers, Indiana. Note the compact liquor store behind the second unit. I want to try modeling that in N scale.
For those that might have missed the narrative in yesterday’s snowflake post, I figured this should be seen on its own: a 20:1 super close-up of just a single branch of a snowflake, shot handheld and focus stacked.
The resolution of details in this version of the snowflake is more than double when compared to my 12X setup, due in part to greater magnification and part because diffraction is playing less of a role here. Both of these help with the details, but it’s also the reason why most people don’t think shooting this kind of image handheld is even possible.
When you get closer to your subject, your depth of field becomes shallower. The difference would absolutely be noticeable here, pushing the number of focus “slices” up. Only a tiny sliver of the snowflake is viewable at a time, and the closer you get the smaller it becomes. This isn’t the only factor that affects depth of field, however. We also have to be concerned about aperture.
The way a microscope objective collects light doesn’t usually involve an aperture (also referred to as an iris or a diaphragm). One can be added just behind the lens in order to gain greater depth of field, but this causes diffraction to blur the resulting image slightly and you lose details. If you shoot without anything narrowing the path of light you’ll have the best details but an even thinner slice of focus to work with. While I built an aperture assembly into my microscope lens, I didn’t use it for this.
A snowflake usually takes around 40 or so shots to focus stack, but roughly the same number of shots to get just the tip of a branch in focus. I’ve missed a few pieces that you can see if you REALLY know where to look. All of the frames needed to be manually aligned which was incredibly time consuming and tedious, and more manual corrections that usual were needed in the focus stacking process.
I don’t think I’ll be handholding this lens for anything that doesn’t outright require it, but I now have 20X and 100X microscope objectives to play with. As soon as the spring flowers are here I know I’ll have an unending supply of interesting subjects from insects to pollen. For now, I’ll continue to embrace the snow!
If you’re fascinated with the details you can discover in a snowflake, you’ll absolutely enjoy reading my book Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - it provides an entire photographic tutorial alongside all of the beautiful and understandable science that makes snowflakes take the shapes they do!
