As I mentioned a few days ago, I am currently looking into the production of ferric oxalate, not because I am dissatisfied with Bostick&Sullivan's product, but merely out of a thirst for knowledge.

I do not know the recipe of B&S, presumably it is iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid.

In my first attempt I followed the recipe of Pizzighelli and Hübl (ferric hydrate and oxalic acid). An interesting alternative, but time-consuming.

In the second attempt, it was iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid. The time required is similar, but with fewer steps.

The substance is not clearly defined, which makes it difficult to determine the exact content of oxalate solutions. The prevailing opinion is that the solution for the platinum process should contain 27% iron(III)-oxalate, for the Kallitypy 20%.

For practical purposes, the determination method using the specific gravity is sufficiently accurate, although any free oxalic acid present cannot be determined.

For the Kallitype, a specific gravity of 1.13 results in a solution of about 20%; for the comparison of the mode of action, the three oxalate solutions were brought to exactly this value. The measurement of the pH value showed clear deviations between the (acidic) solutions, which indicates different contents of free oxalic acid.

B&S 3 minutes, P&H 2:30 minutes, Ox (iron nitrate) 2:15 minutes.

 

Wie schon vor einigen Tagen erwähnt, beschäftige ich mich momentan mit der Herstellung von Eisen(III)-Oxalat, nicht weil ich mit dem Produkt von Bostick&Sullivan unzufrieden wäre, sondern lediglich aus Wissensdrang.

Die Rezeptur von B&S ist mir nicht bekannt, vermutlich handelt es sich um Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure.

Bei meinem ersten Versuch bin ich nach der Rezeptur von Pizzighelli und Hübl (Eisen(III)-Hydrat und Oxalsäure) vorgegangen. Eine interessante Alternative, doch der Zeitaufwand ist hoch.

Beim zweiten Versuch waren es Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure. Der zeitliche Aufwand ist ähnlich hoch, allerdings bei weniger Arbeitsschritten.

Die Substanz ist nicht klar definiert, was es schwierig macht, den exakten Gehalt von Oxalat-Lösungen zu bestimmen. Nach vorherrschender Auffassung sollte die Lösung für den Platinprozeß 27% Eisen(III)-Oxalat enthalten, für die Kallitypie 20%.

Für die Praxis ist die Bestimmungsmethode über das spezifische Gewicht hinreichend genau, wobei allerdings ein eventuell vorhandener Anteil an freier Oxalsäure nicht festgestellt werden kann.

Für die Kallitype ergibt sich bei einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1.13 eine etwa 20% Lösung, für den Vergleich der Wirkungsweise wurden die drei Oxalatlösungen auf exakt diesen Wert gebracht. Die Messung des pH-Wertes zeigte deutliche Abweichungen zwischen den (sauren) Lösungen, was auf unterschiedlichen Gehalt an freier Oxalsäure hindeutet.

The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

I took this photo of the Wolf Moon (the first full moon of 2022) on 18th January 2022. It appeared so near and large and I used a similar technique to the one I used with one of my first photographs added to Flickr, with the setting sun, framing the moon with some garden foliage.

 

Since my first upload of the setting sun in 2015 I have become confident converting a number of my colour photographs to black and white (as is the case with this one). I really enjoy the creativity that I can achieve with tonal values in black and white images.

 

It was interesting to see that this image was also taken with a trusty compact (three versions later), although I now have a bridge camera and a 4/3 mirrorless camera.

People just decide that their boat isn't worth it anymore, they dump it or maybe it breaks down. According to CJ a local boat captain it costs they county about 15k to remove these boats and they only have a budget each year of 85K. So, when these owners determine enough is enough for them, they remove the VIN numbers and anything of value and let the rest of us pick up the mess. I really dislike people like that. Best part.... If you look at the name of the boat close up... Integrity.

The first increases the second.

Spray roses are cheap and seem like a good value, but they're very simple and have little fragrance. This is a 50-frame focus stack.

Macro 1X (focus stacking)

Fondos MNCN-CSIC

Macro 1X con apilamiento de foco por control de anillo de enfoque

Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control

 

Ingredientes:

-Nikon D600 + Nikor 105mm macro 1X

-Helicon Remote para control automático de la pila de foco mediante el anillo de enfoque (por medio de USB)

-Helicon Soft para apilamiento de foco (36 shots, Method B, R=4, S=2)

-Helicon lo puedes bajar a prueba durante 1 mes gratis, o una licencia para un año por 50€, controla casi todas las Nikon y Canon mediante USB. Existen otros proveedores de soft para stacking (apilamiento), p. ej. Zerene, ControlMyNikon o Canon, Combine Z, etc

-Opcional: impresora 3D (Up Plus 2) para la fabricación de focos, soportes, mesa de trabajo, etc. Puedes utilizar el sencillo 123D Design (free soft) para diseñar las piezas.

 

Receta:

-Montamos el bodegón con sujeto y fondo

-Lo iluminamos con 4 o 5 micro-focos de leds. Los focos se pueden diseñar e imprimir utilizando una impresora 3D y después montar los leds (alta luminosidad y 5300K), la alimentación es de 12vdc para grupos de 3 o 4 leds. La ventaja frente al uso de flash, es que se pueden dirigir los focos y componer la iluminación antes del disparo, además del volumen que se consigue jugando con la iluminación.

-Disparamos las fotografías utilizando, p. ej., Helicon Remote: Helicon controla el enfoque con el movimiento del anillo de enfoque antes de disparar cada foto, todo el proceso de toma de fotos es automático, se pueden ver videos en youtube

-Para 1X se necesitan de 20 a 100 fotos, según valor de f, focal utilizada y profundidad de campo necesaria, lo calcula el soft automáticamente. Se suele utilizar el punto dulce de la lente (normalmente en el entorno de f5.6) para optimizar los resultados

-Apilamos el stack de n fotografías utilizando Helicon Soft

-Utilizamos Lightroom o similar para eliminar “halos” y “artefactos”

-Una vez se tiene práctica, todo el proceso puede durar 15 min

/ POOR ENGLISH

Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control

 

How do you can do it :

 

Ingredients:

 

-Nikon D600 + 105mm macro nikor 1X

-Helicon Remote control for automatic focus stack using the camera focus ring (using USB)

-Helicon Soft Focus Stacking (36 shots, Method B, R = 4, S = 2)

-Helicon You can download a free trial for 1 month, or a license for a year for € 50, it controls almost many Nikon and Canon via USB. There are other suppliers of soft for stacking, p. ex. Zerene, ControlMyNikon or Canon, Combine Z, etc.

-optional: 3D (Up Plus 2) printer to manufacture light bulbs, brackets, desk, etc. You can use the friendly 123D Design (free soft) for pieces designing.

 

Recipe:

 

-Ilumination with 4 or 5 micro-LED bulbs. The lighters can be designed and printed using a 3D printer and then mount the LED´s (high brightness and 5300K), the power is 12VDC for groups of 3 or 4 LEDs. The advantage over use of flash, is that you can positioning the lights and lighting make up before shooting, in addition to the volume to be achieved by playing with these lighting.

-Shot photographs using, p. eg Helicon Remote. Helicon controls the approach to the movement of the focus ring before the photo shot, the whole process of taking pictures is automatic, you can watch videos on youtube

-For 1X do you needed 20-100 photos, depending on value of f, focal and deep of field needed, automatically calculated by the soft. Often used the sweet spot of the lens (usually in the vicinity of f5.6) to optimize results

-Now we stack of shots using Helicon Soft

-We can use Lightroom or the like to remove "halos" and "artifacts"

-Once you have practice, the whole process can take 15 min

-And sorry my English, please.

There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

I set this against a picture of violets in Richard Mabey's book, Flora Britannica.

The high retail value of saffron is maintained on world markets because of labour-intensive harvesting methods, which require some 440,000 hand-picked saffron stigmas per kilogram (200,000 stigmas/lb) – equivalently, 150,000 crocus flowers per kilogram (70,000 flowers/lb). Forty hours of labour are needed to pick 150,000 flowers.

 

One freshly picked crocus flower yields on average 30 mg of fresh saffron or 7 mg dried; roughly 150 flowers yield 1 g (1⁄32 oz) of dry saffron threads; to produce 12 g (7⁄16 oz) of dried saffron, 450 g (1 lb) of flowers are needed; the yield of dried spice from fresh saffron is only 13 g/kg (0.2 oz/lb).

NOVEMBER RAIN

 

When November skies cry out their pain

and Buddha's tears fall down as rain

the Autumn leaves fall down again

in burnished gold abandonment

capable of letting go

trees don't discern from friend or foe

but shed and scatter all around

their foliage carpet on the ground

we tread and kick the leaves up high

some catch the wind and reach the sky

others may adhere themselves to limbs

that look so bare as Winter slims

full-bodied landscapes; the art of Masters

water-coloured, oils and faster

splashes, dots like pointillism

paint generously the rainbow's prisms

the multi-coloured hues of Fall

the baring forests stand so tall

and quite prepared to give their all

to perfect bold abandonment

we relish change of seasons such

as this one with it's harvest much

and luscious, full and rosy lips

rose-gold kiss abandonment

poetic justice; fire and musty

apple wood, sweet and smelling ripe

lingers long and leaves us longing

for more to whet our appetite

In Summer most we see is sun

and feel the warmth upon our skin

but Autumn is a visual treat

to gift our eyes before we sleep

oh how I wish to hibernate

come Winter with it's threatening storms

and ice-cold winds that bite and nip

my fingers, toes as different forms

come bustling, breezing through the open

doors and floors are wet with melted

snow and ice; I long for nice

hot cocoa with a few marshmallows

pink and white, that soothe and mellow

warm the cockles of my heart

and smooth the feelings that depart

as Autumn falls and Winter beckons

with icy fingers; Jack Frost reckons

he can paint inside the glass

a pattern etched that will stick fast

and never touch it with your tongue

you'll stick and have to wait for Mum

to softly release you from this task

you set yourself; and you will laugh

at this sweet memory of your past

when your family was still complete

now scattered, lost or just divided

left behind where you resided

why did they have to go away

like Autumn leaves and Summer days

but come the Spring and come the thaw

you may hear knocking at your door

and those that left to travel wide

may smile and hug and step inside

Four Seasons by Vivaldi playing

inside your head and on turntable

round and round; spinning gently

another year; and there are plenty

yet to come now you are winning

plans can be made and find you grinning

the joy of life; the joie de vive

Buddha watches; never leaves

enigmatic smile; all-knowing

buds on trees will soon be showing

renewal; rejuvenate the Earth

a time for living; for what it's worth

and now you know it's worth a lot

a year you thought might bring your end

a borrowed year that saw you mend

a year that taught you; value friends

and live and love and laugh awhile

for peace begins with just one smile

and harmony's gift to Mother Earth

brings treasures full; beyond monetary worth

that only sweet abandonment

as with the trees that teach us much

to love; be loved is all enough

and letting go is not so bad

and will not always leave us sad

for like the trees begin again

so can we live through all our pain

and come the Spring we'll be reborn

and sprouting trees shelter us from harm

like the arms of Buddha and the arms of man

joined together in perfect sweet abandonment

giving thanks for all we have

letting go so there is more

for everyone to go around

we are united; we are found.

The Merganser tried unsuccessfully for over 20 minutes to try to swallow its catch but eventually had to give up..... a little too big

English ten pound note.

 

If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.

 

That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)

 

The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.

 

The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.

 

Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).

 

Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.

 

This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.

 

One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the eastern part of the country along the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history that spans over 1,500 years and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. One of the most striking features of this area is the traditional houses with wooden balconies. These wooden balconies, often adorned with intricate carvings, are a significant element of Tbilisi's urban aesthetic and culture. This old Tbilisi, also known as the Old Town or Dzveli Tbilisi, is one of the oldest parts of the city and has a rich history dating back to the 5th century. Over the centuries, Tbilisi has been influenced by Persian, Byzantine, Arab, and Russian cultures, which is evident in its diverse architectural styles. The houses with wooden balconies are typical of Tbilisi's traditional architectural style and reflect both Georgian and Persian influences. Perched on a steep hill overlooking Tbilisi’s Old Town and the Mtkvari River, Narikala Fortress is one of the city’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Dating back to the 4th century, this ancient fortress has seen the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. Narikala’s origins date back to the founding of the city itself, with the first fortifications believed to have been built by the Persians in the 4th century. Over the centuries, the fortress was expanded and strengthened by various ruling powers, including the Umayyads in the 7th century, the Mongols in the 12th century, and later by Georgian kings. Within Narikala’s walls, you’ll find the restored St. Nicholas Church, originally built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 1990s. The church’s interior is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from Georgian history and the Bible. Visitors can reach the fortress by taking a scenic walk through the old town or by taking the modern cable car from Rike Park.

 

Narikala Fortress, perched on a steep hill overlooking the old town of Tbilisi and the Mtkvari River, is one of the city's most iconic and historic landmarks. This ancient fortress, dating back to the 4th century, has witnessed the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. The old part of Tbilisi below the fortress, with its characteristic houses featuring wooden balconies, offers a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the city. The baths in the city centre are an important historical and cultural attraction. These baths, known as the sulphur baths, have characteristic domed roofs, which are partly underground to keep the heat inside. Historically, the baths played an important role as social meeting places. People came here not only to bathe, but also to talk, relax and do business. These charming architectural elements are a must-see for anyone who wants to experience Tbilisi's rich traditions and unique heritage.

 

Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. Een van de meest opvallende kenmerken van dit gebied zijn de traditionele huizen met houten balkonnetjes. Deze houten balkons, vaak versierd met delicate houtsnijwerken, zijn een belangrijk element van de stedelijke esthetiek en cultuur van Tbilisi. Oorspronkelijk dienden deze balkons praktische doelen, zoals het bieden van extra leefruimte en het creëren van schaduw tijdens de warme zomers, maar tegenwoordig zijn ze vooral een esthetisch en cultureel kenmerk van de stad. De baden in het centrum zijn een belangrijke historische en culturele trekpleister. Deze baden, vooral bekend als de zwavelbaden en hebben kenmerkende koepelvormige daken, die deels ondergronds zijn om de warmte binnen te houden. Historisch gezien speelden de badhuizen een belangrijke rol als sociale ontmoetingsplaatsen. Mensen kwamen hier niet alleen om te baden. Het Narikala-fort, gelegen op een steile heuvel met uitzicht op de oude stad van Tbilisi en de Mtkvari-rivier, is een van de meest iconische en historische bezienswaardigheden van de stad. Dit oude fort, dat dateert uit de 4e eeuw, heeft de opkomst en ondergang van rijken meegemaakt en is al eeuwenlang een stille bewaker van Tbilisi. De oorsprong van Narikala gaat terug tot de oprichting van de stad zelf, met de eerste vestingwerken waarvan men denkt dat ze in de 4e eeuw door de Perzen zijn gebouwd. Door de eeuwen heen werd het fort uitgebreid en versterkt door verschillende heersende machten, waaronder de Omajjaden in de 7e eeuw, de Mongolen in de 12e eeuw en later door de Georgische koningen. Binnen de muren van Narikala vindt u de gerestaureerde St. Nicholas Church, oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 12e eeuw en herbouwd in de jaren 90. Het interieur van de kerk is versierd met fresco's die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en de Bijbel afbeelden. Bezoekers kunnen het fort bereiken door een mooie wandeling door de oude stad te maken of door de moderne kabelbaan te nemen vanaf Rike Park.
