Orange Tip Butterfly
All afternoon the Orange Tips flew past, but not a one settled for a photograph, until right near the end of our wak this male decided to pose briefly.

Recently restored and only on its second owner from new.
Low mileage - bought new in 1982 and only used during the Lime season until 1990 when it was laid-up.
It will now be taken to shows and put back to work on the lime.
This image shows a longitudinal section of a root tip of Maize (Zea mays). To the left of the image, the large, loosely packed cells of the root cap can be seen. These cells protect the actively dividing meristematic tissue as the root grows down through the soil. This meristematic tissue is located just to the right of the root cap, where the cells are small and undifferentiated. If you follow the lines of cells towards the right, you can see that they increase in length in the zone of elongation. To the right of this zone, the cells become further differentiated, eventually assuming the mature structure related to their function.
This image is taken from a slide in the Botanical slide collection, Department of Plant Sciences, Cambridge. The specimen had been stained with Safranin O and Fast Green and was captured using a confocal microscope. These stains are often used together as general stains on plant material prepared for light microscopy and between them they stain many subcellular structures. The resulting colours are due to a combination of the stains and fluorescent colours in the cells.
The length of the section is approximately 300 µm.

This one is an out-take. I tied each glass together with a fishing line near the base. The idea was to pull over all three glasses at the same time (to the right), but when I pulled the line broke, and only the blue glass actually fell over. I kinda like it though. A happy accident.
Lighting Info: 580 EX II on full power camera right shot into an umbrella. SB 26 on full power camera left shot through an umbrella. I used a 3'x3' sheet of black acrylic for the table and some black velvet as the background. The "glasses" are actually plastic. Good thing too, because they ended up crashing to the ground multiple times.
Next time I'm planning to put up two sheets (or white shower curtains) on the sides to act as defusers (instead of using umbrellas). I don't like the reflections of the umbrellas in the sides of the glass.
Post Processing: I cleaned up a lot of small dust specks using the spot healing and clone stamp tools in Photoshop. I also selected the background and painted it black to remove any stray specks and the fishing line.

Back-In-The-Day......
(In the 1940s and 1950s) there was this legendary lounge atop the Allerton Hotel, called The Tip Top Tap, where swingin' Jazz Bands played- people drank Martinis and Manhattans, and the folks who went, were just generally-
"Swanky".
Sadly, the lounge closed in 1961.
Today - the space is used for Banquets & Meetings and no longer has the "vibe" from back in the day.
But - a great view of the old sign is available to those who know the ins & outs of Hotels!

this building needs no introduction. but it gets photographed so often i was trying to make it a little different, a little more interesting.
looks like it worked - featured in explore for interestingness!
This was my beloved Foden which I bought new and collected from Elworth on 1st. November 1988 i had entered in to an owner driver franchise with ARC she cost new with H.P £77,700 which was a lot of money in those days.we mostly carried tar for surfacing and carried tar for the new A55 Expressway and Conway Tunell in the top righ pic.she is seen being pulled by a Cat up a steep embankment near the north bound tunnel entrance.
Compacte systeemcamera’s zorgen voor een prettige combinatie van compact formaat en verwisselbare lenzen. Hier zijn een paar tips als je een systeemcamera kopen gaat, die het je makkelijker maken.
Systeemcamera’s zijn een relatief nieuwe soort camera’s met verwisselbare lenzen, maar het idee heef...
Shot with Macro Takumar 50mm F4 lens on Sony Alpha A200 dSLR with M42 mount adapter.
Thanks to HPC friends Sudhakar & Pramod for introducing me to the M42 world of lenses.
M42 is a screw mount standard once used by many DSLR / Lens manufacturers. Lenses with M42 mount are widely available on eBay for relatively cheaper prices. These are all manual lenses in terms of focusing. They can be used with a M42 conversion adapter on new digital SLRs. I think Pentax models have native support for this mount.
