Common knapweed - Centaurée noire (Centaurea nigra)

#bloomscrolling #autumn #fall #macro #wildflowers #photography

Macro photograph of a dried knapweed, its many small flowers having turned brown and forming a sort of small basket or container inside which are piled the elongated, beige seeds. The exterior of the knapweed appears hairy, the small flowers having a thin, papery, and frayed appearance. The background is green and blurred.

Photographie macro d'une fleur séchée de centaurée, les nombreuses petites fleurs la composant étant devenues brunes et formant une sorte de petit panier ou contenant à l'intérieur duquel sont entassées les graines beiges et allongées. L'extérieur de la centaurée semble poilue, les petites fleurs ayant une apparence de papier mince et effilochées. L'arrière-plan est vert et flou.

Pause

My week on crutches was partly spent looking desperately out the windows at the tasks I was supposed to do before winter. Not exactly creative or productive. Oh well, the garden can wait. And the tea is good.

A black and white photograph of a very small, double-walled, clear glass cup containing a clear liquid, resting on a black table in the foreground. Blurred in the background are a dark armchair with a white cushion and a large plant on the floor, in front of a three paneled window. The view overlooks an outdoor courtyard with a gazebo in front of a large conifer and a mountain in the distance.

Photographie en noir blanc d'une très petite tasse en verre transparent à double paroi, contenant un liquide clair et posée sur une table noire à l'avant-plan. Flou en arrière-plan se trouvent un fauteuil foncé avec un coussin blanc et une grosse plante au sol, devant une fenêtre en trois sections. La vue donne sur une cour extérieure avec un gazebo devant un grand conifère et une montagne au loin.

Houseleeks - Joubarbe (Sempervivum sp.)

#bloomscrolling #autumn #fall #macro #gardening #photography

Macro photograph of a houseleek rosette, its pointed, fleshy leaves ranging from purple on the outside to mint green on the inside. Tiny spider webs and raindrops are visible between the leaves and on the surface.

This is an autumn scene photo taken along a curved section of a fairly flat accessible trail which runs through a forest. The trail is covered with fallen leaves which range in colour from light brown to orangish. The trail curves slightly to the right in the frame with trees close to the edges on both sides. Some green leaves still remain on the trees providing a mix of colour across the photo. The frame is filled with trees and leaves in the top section with no sky showing.

Oidhche Shamhna – a South Uist Halloween

Ethnomusicologist, photographer, folklorist, & scholar Margaret Fay Shaw (1903–2004) recorded a traditional Hebridean Halloween on South Uist in the 1930s, in photographs & on film – via the National Trust for Scotland

A black and white image of two children dressed for Halloween, standing on a flat patch of scrubby ground with a rocky hillside rising behind them. The children are wearing multiple layers of outsized clothes, bundled and knotted around them. Their hands are hidden within their sleeves, and they have huge adult work-boots on their feet. The figure on the left is wearing a crude mask with tiny eyeholes and a mouth hole; tufts of dried grass have been added to create a beard and moustache. The figure on the right doesn't seem to have a mask – just a large clump of heather for a head, protruding from a jacket collar swathed in scarves.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Though I still think that the $500 price tag on the new Pentax 17 is justifiable, there may be better options out there.

I tried most of the well-known half-frame cameras out there and reviewed them all here:

https://www.analog.cafe/r/10-half-frame-film-cameras-for-under-dollar500-rajl

Have I missed anything?

#filmphotography #photography

Text says: "10 Half-Frame Film Cameras For Under $500" and the image includes 8 half-frame cameras on white background.

Good day sunshine.
#Photography

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a body of water reflecting the surrounding trees and sky.

A forest of tall trees lines the water's edge, with their reflections clearly visible in the calm surface.
The sky above is a mix of blue and grey clouds, creating a dynamic backdrop.
A fallen log lies partially submerged in the water, adding a natural element to the scene.

The overall impression is one of tranquility and natural beauty, with the reflection emphasizing the symmetry and balance of the composition.

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #darktable #mywork #myphoto

A close-up photograph of an old wooden double door set into a rustic stone wall. The door is arched at the top, framed by a rounded arch made of reddish-pink sandstone blocks. The door panels are constructed from vertical wooden planks arranged in a chevron or herringbone pattern, pointing inward toward the center seam where the two halves meet. The wood appears weathered, with a warm brown tone and visible grain. Surrounding the door, the wall is composed of irregularly shaped stones in shades of red, brown, beige, and gray, mortared together with some white plaster visible in the joints. To the right of the door, there's a small rectangular stone slab or cover embedded in the wall, possibly a access panel or old mailbox slot. The ground in front is paved with uneven cobblestones. The overall scene evokes a historical or medieval European building, with signs of age like dirt, cracks, and slight discoloration on the stones and wood.

Earlier Today

#Autumn #Landscape #Nature #Photography

A straight, wide lane at the edge of a forest. The ground is covered with a thick carpet of fallen orange and yellow leaves.

The canopy overhead is a vivid tunnel of golden, yellow, and deep orange foliage. The light filters through these brilliant leaves, casting a warm, soft glow over the scene.

The trees lining the path are tall, with dark, straight trunks, contrasting sharply with the bright colors of the leaves. Several people are visible in the distance, walking along the path.

Forest bathing.
#Photography

A stream winds through a dense forest of evergreen trees under a clear blue sky.

The stream bed is rocky and visible through the clear water, with fallen logs and debris scattered throughout.
Golden and brown vegetation lines both sides of the stream, contrasting with the deep green of the trees.
The forest appears thick and lush, with trees extending upwards and out of view.

The image captures a natural, outdoor scene with a focus on the flowing water and surrounding forest environment.

The Creature met an ancestor! 🦣 🦴 🏛️

#TheLaBreaTarPits #LosAngeles #California #Fossils #Merchtodon #Paleontology #Photo #Photography #Plushtodon #LetyDoesSelfies

Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

How I see the World.

(Read the alt text for what I mean.)

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #NaturePhotography #Autumn #World #Light #Hope #ThereIsHope

An autumn landscape at sunset. Bare trees dominate the upper frame, their branches reaching across a golden sky. Below, vibrant green grass covers the ground, and a small stream winds through the scene, reflecting the warm light. A large tree trunk stands on the right, scarred where a branch was cut, but still alive with orange leaves clinging to its younger branches.
This is how I see the world. The bare trees, what we notice most, seem dead, like today's civilization: governed by hatred, coldness, selfishness, rampant individualism. But at the base, the grass is green. Because at the base, there are wonderful people who often go unnoticed, yet they are the most important part of everything. The stream connects it all, starting from that living green, reflecting the golden light, flowing toward the horizon beneath the bare branches. Perhaps relationships, perhaps time, perhaps simply the reminder that everything flows and transforms. And beyond: light and color, because life can give us far more than these bare "trees" show right now. And the trees themselves, if not rotten inside, will bloom again.
I intentionally increased the saturation to create this contrast: to flood the scene with light.

I just launched a new Gallery! The Drakensberg, South Africa. 🌍⛰️

This is the first time I'm sharing something like this to #Mastodon. I hope you all enjoy it :D

In March of 2024 I ventured with 5 others on the biggest trip of my life. Backpacking 🥾 a portion of South Africas mountains. We spent 6 days at 3000m asl photographing the landscape.

Captured this intimate moment of a Red-winged Blackbird mom feeding her offspring. It takes just a few seconds and off she goes..
The fledgling is already almost as big as mom is, can fly, but still needs to be fed.

A memory from July 16th, 2020 - Comet Neowise on the NW sky. We could see it over a few consecutive nights about 2 hours after sunset..

Just started out learning photography around that time, didn’t have an editing software, other than my phone, so it’s noisy…
Blended image, taken from the same spot (my balcony) few seconds apart at 560mm and brought them a little bit closer to each other to fit the frame…

A silent watcher beneath the green surface — this alligator was just a few feet away, perfectly hidden among the duckweed and reeds of the Florida Everglades. A reminder that in these waters, the wild is always closer than it seems.

Incredible on an oversized medium, metal, canvas and a great gift idea for the nature lover in your life.
