johnfarrar Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>Captive! A shell (?Otter shell, <em>Lutraria</em>) collected and taken home. The inner is delicate blue, but when backlit as here, the colours are much warmer.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallymack Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>From my series on <i>Archaea</i> bacteria in the wetlands in northern California. Earlier in the year it had been bright orange but by the end of August, when this picture was taken, it had died. The white is salt.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Bortnick Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>Sally,<br> Your image is reminiscent of S.E.M. images I took a long time ago. Beautiful. <br> Rick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallymack Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>Thanks, Rick. That's one of the things I like about this picture, it looks like it <i>could</i> have been taken through a microscope. Although the growths were small (a couple of inches at most), they were visible to the naked eye. For this shot, I didn't even use a macro lens. --Sally</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin carron Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>Fine shots from everyone! The breadth of interest shown in MiN is inspiring. Here is a shot taken in the floodplain of my local river which is a tributary of the Thames. In summer this small river can be easily forded and carries less than a cubic metre per second. But in a wet winter such as we are seeing now the flow rises to 50 times that or more and the floodplain gets very soggy.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>It's always either spring or fall or summer here in S Florida. Gets confusing sometimes. Anyway... We had some nice fog roll in this past Saturday. I was lucky enough to get to a park before it succumbed to the sun and grab a few shots. I added the tint but the scene was otherwise as I saw it. It was my first outing with my new Gitzo GT3542. Very nice platform. </p> <p>Tom</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwin Barkdoll Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 <p>Escaped to Belize last week. Because the weather was not conducive to diving for a couple of days, we went caving. This is a roughly 20 sec light painting.</p><div></div> Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
