I read somewhere that you can make a telescope using the lens found in a photocopy machine (with pretty amazing results). Of course, my next thought was could I make a macro lens out of it?
The other picture shows the unassembled lens and what a beast it is! The whole thing must weigh at least 3 kg! The lens you see me holding in this picture is almost 1 kg and only one component of the whole thing.
After some trial and error, taking things apart and putting it back together, I managed to get a 'working' macro/telephoto lens. A very different set up to my usual DIY lenses and it's going to be an exciting challenge perfecting this one. The lens you see in the picture comprises of 4 lenses in total, 1 flat, 1 concave and 2 convex.
Putting the lens directly in front of my phone camera produces only ok results, nothing that blew my mind or was any different than the lenses I already have. It did provide with greater depth of field than the other lenses I have made, which is a bonus, but strapping this lens to my phone will be pretty useless and counterproductive as it weighs so much. I still had to be around 2-5 cm close to the subject to produce usable results.
However, when I held the lens 5-10 cm away from the phone camera something unexpected happened. In this picture, the lens was around 15-20cm away from the dragonfly and 10cm from my phone. I manually focused onto the lens and it produced the result you see in this picture.
My guess at this moment is Ill need to make some type of tubing/casing to hold the different lenses together after deconstructing it, as it seems to produce the best result when the lens is a certain distance from my phone. Of course with my phone, the sensor has a fixed aperture of f1.8 which makes everything that bit more complex. And then theres the issue of mounting the thing!
If you have any ideas please feel free to share :). Hopefully the end product will be a decent macro/telephoto lens which allows me to be 15-30cm away from the subject rather than 1-5cm (which is what im getting from the current lenses I have).
Used since the 12th century, it was used by fishermen and small-medium sized commercial vessels. It was enlarged and strengthened by Jacopo III Appiani in 1470, the year in which the breakwater was built. Jacopo III's 15th century works were mainly aimed at anchoring his own galley, as well as other small court vessels, given the proximity of his residence to the Citadel. This inevitably led to a reduction in the anchorages of many vessels used for fishing and commercial traffic.
I used to travel alot. Long international flights could become boring but I liked nothing more than to look out of the window down at the landscape 6 miles below me. I used to pit my geographical knowledge against navigational abilities to see if I could identify towns, cities, rivers, landmarks. It helped pass the time. Once I picked out Monument Valley on the brown Utah landscape. I was able to identify some of the towering features but couldn't get over how an area it had taken most of a day to explore in a car could be the size of a sixpence against the featureless desert around.
The best time was when I had been flying for ages: a few months actually, and I had dozed off, forehead leaning against the cold window. I awoke and through bleary eyes looked down. I didn't instantly recognise it a convolusion of channels leading across the land. Rivers, gorges and canyons. And then I remembered. Mars. I was flying over Mars. And the sunlight glinted off the surface. Water? Water? Every where? Had I just discovered water on Mars?
Unfortunately that's nothing like the truth. I often work my way round to a little cove along from Camusdarrach to find unusual patterns and colours on the beach. Here a little oil seeps into the bog that feeds the burn down onto the beach, the oil catching the light like sun on a river estuary. With dark and light sands, this is my impression of what a Martian river might (have) look like. (this section of sand being about 12 inches across)

Cattleyas and sophronitis are two natural genera which appear most often in cultivation. Evergreen cattleyas produce pseudobulbs, from short 10 cm to tall 90 cm, along a visible strong rhizome. They are manly club-shaped, sheated and support either one leaf (unifoliate) or two (bifoliate). Both types produce rigid, oval to long leaves which are thick and leathery, while the flower spikes come from the apex of the psodobulb at the base of the leaves. They are among the most fabulous of all cultivated orchids. Many have lovely scent.
She used to stop on that bench with the illusion
That behind her the sunset wasn't just a colored wall of orange-red sun
The tree next door with its autumn leaves
A magical touch of a children's book
The leaves fell silently on the bench
And on the ground creating a colorful carpet of light
There wasn't much traffic along that stretch of road
And that's exactly why he chose her
No passerby would have sat next to her,
no car would disturb his thoughts
but now she's not here and the tree and the bench wonder why
there will be no answers
there will be no other days
harmony is shaken by a shiver of wind
another trembling leaf has fallen
everything is silent now on that stretch of road...

Video Austria e Castelli in Baviera ( D ) :
Using as much common sense as we can muster, we head out into the COVID-ladin world. Oregon had just started what they called Phase 1. In doing that they opened a few State Parks. This one had been on our radar for a long time. I had been bird dogging the web site to see when it would open. As it turns out, I caught it just as they updated. They were going to open tomorrow. So the next day, as early as I can get the family out of the house, we set out for White River Falls State Park. This is in eastern Oregon, on the desert side of Mount Hood. They say you are not supposed to travel far under Phase 1, this was about 2 hours away. That was probably further than the State would like to see. However, we were sure to get gas locally and take food. Shy of the nice folks we met at the park, we interacted with no one.
The Ranger at the Park said we were the first people to get there on the first day they were re-open. He seemed glad to see us and the nice camp host talked our ears off. Clearly glad to see humans.
The Falls were in perfect form. See, you need to hit this waterfall at the right time. To early and its all white or brown form the glacial silt that runs through it (hence the name). Too late in the season, and I mean a week too late, and it looks like someone turned off the water. This day the flow was strong and the water quite clear.
We drove out through the Gorge and looped back over Mount Hood. All around a very pleasant drive. Sadly, it was a ton of driving for only about an hour at the falls, but still a great time had by all. Even the dog.
This was mid May in 2020, a time we will look back on as a very strange time. I hope I read this in 5 or 10 years and laugh about it. I hope.
I used Topaz Detail and Topaz Simplify to create this.

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.
Used a film grain effect in Capture One - image was a little soft so have tried to disguise that fact!

Using the Sony 1.4 TC. Forced at f/9 in lousy light but I had my shutter up hoping it would fly. In any case, I really don't notice any reduction in sharpness or focus speed in using it. That is a good thing using the full-frame A9...
We use these little salt & pepper shakers wnen we're at out trailer. They are made with old plastic film cans, of which I went through hundreds back in my film photography days. HMM

Flower mantises use aggressive mimicry, a form of camouflage, to mimic flowers, luring pollinating insects (their prey) by looking like attractive blossoms, allowing them to ambush victims that come to feed, also using their disguise to hide from predators like birds. Famous examples include the Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus) with its petal-like legs
In this photo, a H. coronatus nymph is hidden on a wild Lathyrus flower. I've raised these beautiful insects at home a few times and, in good weather, let them sit outside on all sorts of flowers in our garden. This way, they could catch their own food.
Used Tools:
