Our trees are actually just starting to turn but the way the sunrise was shining off of them this morning accentuated the colors perfectly.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:22 pm Lovely color in the trees. I look out my front and back windows to the same kind of thing. It's been rainy and windy, and the leaves are really falling, but I'm hoping it will last another week. We will have our first frost tonight, so that will add to it. It has been a lovely fall with lots of nice color.

Clever Guy Uses Forced Perspective to Create Funny Interactions With Tiny Superhero Toys
computer isn’t the only way to produce fantastical images. Using tricks like forced perspective can make things magically change in scale, transforming them into seemingly much larger or smaller versions of themselves. Wire Hon shows just how effective this technique can be with his forced perspective photography of action figures.
Hon, a Malaysian toy collector, has cast various DC and Marvel superheroes to appear in his portraits. The Hulk, Batman, Superman, Deadpool, and Black Widow are made to look as tall has Hon and his family. Because the toys are seemingly the same size, Hon treats them like regular people. They are expected to help out with household chores like cleaning the back porch and using their superhuman strength to move a mattress. Though the superheroes often begrudgingly perform these tasks, they’re one big happy family and pose for a group photo. Considering that these are just toys, their size makes the images believable—and are a testament to Hon and his skill at using forced perspective.
It might seem like Hon uses special equipment to achieve these amusing photos, but the process is much more low-tech than that. He simply uses his smartphone and strategically angles it to create the illusion. Be sure to follow along with more of Hon and his superhero antics on Instagram.

At the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, I found this picture of some caffeine crystals. Be right back, gotta refill my covfefe!
The one of the breast cancer cells with a very obvious heart showing is pretty creepy. Cancer doesn't really love you.

When you blink it has already happened, but this camera might catch the picture for you
World’s fastest camera shoots at 156.3 trillion frames per second
By Michael Irving
March 26, 2024
The new camera can reportedly capture events that occur in the realm of femtoseconds
Engineers at INRS Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Centre in Canada have developed the world’s fastest camera, which can shoot at an astonishing 156.3 trillion frames per second (fps).
The best slow-mo cameras in phones are usually working with a few hundred fps. Professional cinematic cameras might use a few thousand, to achieve a smoother effect. But if you want to see what’s going on at the nanoscale, you’ll need to slow things way down, to the billions or even trillions of frames per second.
The new camera can reportedly capture events that occur in the realm of femtoseconds – quadrillionths of a second. For reference, there’s about as many of those in one second as there are seconds in 32 million years.
The researchers built on technology they developed as far back as 2014, known as compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) which could capture a now paltry-seeming 100 billion fps. The next stage was called T-CUP, with the T standing for “Trillion-frame-per-second” – which was, true to its word, capable of up to 10 trillion fps. And then in 2020, the team bumped it up to 70 trillion fps with a version called compressed ultrafast spectral photography (CUSP).
Now, the researchers have more than doubled it again, to a mind-boggling 156.3 trillion frames per second. The new camera system is called “swept-coded aperture real-time femtophotography” (SCARF), which can capture events that happen too fast for even the previous versions of the tech to see. That includes things like shock waves moving through matter or living cells.

What a great shot that is. A crisp moon image on a sunset scene over the stripes of color reflecting off the river. Stunning photo.
