Awesome. They are a higher life form.

A bloom. Camellia. From an air layer that I made from a plant that existed on the farm I grew up on. Planted probably in the 40s or 50s. Made using a full spectrum conversion with an ultraviolet pass filter. In darkness with a powerful UV torch to light it up for 39 seconds. What a blast!

I love this. Blooms > Doom. There was some post right above yours that brought the absurdities down. I don't remember which one, there are so many. It's overwhelming me. I need some nature and stars time. And that's my plan for tomorrow. Birds in the morning, milky way tomorrow night. Can't wait.

I was doomscrolling. Then I saw this peaceful scene. How very beautiful. Thank you, I needed this.

Thank you! The long exposure just makes things crazy with the sky. I looked up the meaning of chiaroscuro. Thank you, Google. 😎

Yes I agree on chocolate! I love it! And you're very welcome, Jean!

Yes, there was a small one there on this day. I actually got it in one of my images.

Michael R Photography 🌿 @msriffle.bsky.social · 14h

I think this was around 3 minutes, Brent.

Thank you so much, Susan!

Thank you so much, Sue! I love the gold look. Most of the time I don't know what I'm going to do to an image until I do it. I just go with whatever happens. That's the fun of infrared photography.

Thank you. It's an old snag that's been in the surf for many years.
