quick #photoediting question: I have some pics involving a bunch of LED Christmas lights, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting the raw files to look any good. The attached photos are a zoomed in view of the .cr2 in RawTherapee, and the same section from the […]

zoomed in view of a photo containing LED christmas lights on a dark background; they are overexposed and have a sharp ring around the brightest part basically the same image, but the lights are a bit softer and nicer looking

while technically not _truly_ monochrome, I think this redscale film shot of the Schuylkill river is in the spirit of #monochromemonday as well ^^

#film #redscale #photography #river #philly
redscale film photo taken looking over the Schuylkill river at the Philadelphia skyline; the riverbank on this side is sandy and smooth, with densely tangled trees and shrubs creating a dark curtain on the left of the image; some fallen trees and debris intermingle with the partly decomposed remnants of an old pier or dock sticking out of the sand and water, while the sky and buildings above loom in the distance; the orangey red color lends a somewhat post-apocalytic vibe to the whole image

black and white film photo looking up at a long dead tree with most of its bark missing, contrasted sharply against a bright white sky

anotha one :3

#photography #naturephotography #film #birdsofmastodon #birds
color film photo of a red winged blackbird perched on a brown, dried up plant; this one is closer up than the first one, but the bird is facing away from the camera and we can only see a tiny bit of the red splotch for which it is named; there's also a section of bright white on the left side of the image caused by some kind of camera malfunction or light leak

one more random old photo from the vault for today; it's been lowkey forever since I went shooting around the city I need to get back in the habit of bringing my camera out for lunchtime walks every now and then

#photography #film #macrophotography #philly #lomometropolis
color film photo depicting a macro view of some polished golden letters mounted on a flat block of marble or granite; we're too close to really read what it says, and the colors are relatively muted

another black and white film photo from the city that I just never posted for some reason; I should do more black and white photography it's been a minute

#photography #film #blackandwhite #graffiti #philly #architecture
black and white film photo looking up at a city rooftop; the main building visible has a mostly flat brick wall on its side, and a relatively ornate window sticking out from a steep shingled roof on the front; the brick wall has a graffiti piece on it which reads "pynez" in simple white letters with a black outline and drop shadow

idk what to caption this I just really like this photo and apparently I haven't shared it yet

#photography #film #blackandwhite #philly #antiflowershowmovement
black and white film photo of a street sign for Winter Street in Philadelphia Chinatown; the bottom of the sign has Chinese characters that I cannot read, and the sign on the opposite side of the pole has an antiflowershowmovement sticker on its back; there's a strand of small American flags tied to the pole and running off the side of the image, as this photo was taken near the 4th of July

_one_ more #FungiFriday post for good measure :neocat_uwu:

#mushtodon #sporespondence #fungi #mushrooms #film #naturephotography #macrophotography
color film photo depicting a pair of brown mushrooms growing from the top of a decaying log; the stems have a streaking pattern of darker and lighter sections, while the caps have a mottled, almost scaly appearance; the exposure is slightly high, leaving the areas in direct sunlight blown out while the shadows have more detail visible; the colors are somewhat unnatural due to the use of tungsten balanced film in daylight conditions

surely this reigndeer lichen can count for #FungiFriday as well meow

#Mosstodon #lichensubscribe #film #naturephotography #macrophotography
color film photo showing a macro view of some reindeer lichen growing amongst a bed of moss; at the center of the scene there is a pair of sporophytes rising up from the moss, each one a brown color and a pointed sickle shape; the lichen is densely tangled and a bright blue-green color, a bit overexposed in some areas, with tiny black protrusions emerging from the ends of some of its branches; the colors overall are slightly unnatural due to the use of tungsten balanced film in daylight conditions

whoops it's been over a week since I shared any pics here again time to grab some shroomies from the vault for #FungiFriday :3

#mushtodon #sporespondence #fungi #mushrooms #Mosstodon #film #naturephotography #macrophotography
color film photo of a small, tan mushroom growing along the border of a low patch of moss and bare sandy soil; there are fallen pine needles strewn about, and a white oak leaf in the background, as well as several larger mushrooms out of focus next to it; the stem of the mushroom has a streaked and slightly shaggy appearance, while the cap is quite smooth; the colors of the whole photo are somewhat strange and unnatural as a result of tungsten balanced film being used in daylight conditions

I keep forgetting to post photos here meow have some lichen shot on weird tungsten balanced film :neocat:

#lichensubscribe #lichen #Mosstodon #naturephotography #film #macrophotography
color film photo of the top of a stump, which is alive with a forest of tiny life; there are lots of lichens reaching up above the surface, some of which are topped by bright red-orange fruiting bodies; there are also some clumps of deeper green moss growing in the cracks below the cut surface of the stump; the colors are unnatural due to being shot on tungsten balanced film, with the stump appearing bright with a slight greenish tint, and the background slightly more reddish

if a black cat crosses your path tonight, beware! it's the best time of the year for critters like us to get up to some mischief >:3

heavily edited photo of me standing on top of the chimney of an abandoned building; the concrete(?) walls are heavily graffitied, as are the corrugated metal and more traditional shingle roofs of the different sections of the building, while the windows are all completely missing, leaving wide openings into the dark interior; a large ivy plant climbs up to the roof and blocks a large portion of the building on the right side of the image; I'm wearing camo cargo pants, a bleach-dyed t-shirt, a black crocheted hat with cat ears and white X's for eyes, and my long black tail; I'm standing at a slightly off angle looking down and to the right, with my long brown hair covering most of my face and a black splotch blocking what remained visible, while I hold my tail in one hand behind me; I appear in front of a background of trees in various stages of their autumn transition, under a deep purple sky that peeks through a cover of orange clouds

#FungiFriday is once again upon us! Here are some pear-shaped puffballs (_Apioperdon pyriforme_), which I'm told are edible but I have yet to actually try because they tend to be pretty small and seem tedious to prepare lol

#mushtodon #sporespondence #mushrooms […]

[Original post on meow.social]
macro photo of three light brown, nearly perfectly round puffball fungi growing on the side of a dead log; only the center one is in focus, and we can see its thin light brown skin cracking apart slightly, revealing the pure white flesh underneath; it's also dotted all over with tiny, dark brown speckles that protrude slightly, giving it a bit of a rough texture; the scene is lit by bright sunlight from the left, casting sharp shadows onto the log from which the fungi grow macro photo of two more of the same fungi, these ones growing on the top of the log; the one on the left is larger and has two round holes in it, where it seems some tiny creature has been snacking; the one on the right is smaller, and it appears its outer skin is just starting to stretch and crack at the top another photo of two of the same fungi growing directly adjacent to each other through a more intact portion of bark; at least one more insect damage hole is visible on one of them, and green moss can be seen growing in the deep cracks of the bark; the lighting here is softer and flatter than the previous photos one more photo showing a cluster of quite a few of the same puffballs; this one again is cast in a softer light, and here we get a glance at the slightly narrowed and elongated base that earn these puffballs their "pear-shaped" moniker

have a look at this absolute _forest_ of mushrooms from this past weekend! :3

I believe these are mica caps (_Coprinellus micaceus_)

#mushtodon #sporespondence #mushrooms #fungi #forest #naturephotography #macrophotography
close up photo of a dense colony of light brown mushrooms with darker, reddish brown streaks running from the centers to the edges of their caps; they show a range of life stages, with some small ones just getting started in the foreground, while in the background there are larger ones with their caps opening almost flat and tattered around the edges while their formerly light colored gills have darkened to an inky black another angle of the same mushrooms, now bringing the older, darkening specimens more into focus; there are also some even older ones in the background here, which appear to be largely decomposed with their entire caps nearly black extra close photo of two young mushrooms growing slightly separated from the main cluster; their caps are still speckled with the dirt they pushed their way through, and the one on the right is especially small with only a tiny bit of its stem visible between the ground and the bottom of its cap one more photo displaying another cluster of young mushrooms, pushing their way through the dirt and leaves to replace the decaying ones nearby; here we get a better view of the light speckling that is present on the caps in addition to the streaks of dark and light coloration

digital art of me, a black cat with plants and mushrooms growing through my fur, in side profile gazing at the viewer through a half-lidded eye; I'm wearing a dark green hooded robe and my braided leather collar, and behind me is a dense cluster of bluish-white snowdrop flowers; at the bottom of the image is my name "Ashe" in olive green text the artist's watermark in the top right reads "raevi10.com"

in celebration of #FungiFriday have a look at these swanky oak mazegills (_Fomitopsis quercina_) :neocat_happy:

#mushtodon #sporespondence #fungi #mushrooms #naturephotography #macrophotography
close up photo of two bracket fungi growing on the end of a decaying fallen log; they're both an off-white color with relatively flat tops and complex, maze-like ridges or gills on the bottom photo of one of the bracket fungi from the previous pic, now cut away from the log and laying upside down to get a good look at its underside; the ridges somewhat resemble the familiar gills of many mushrooms but are distinctly different, following chaotic, branching paths which have earned this fungus its common name "mazegill" closer up photo of the top of one of the bracket fungi still attached to the log; it has a somewhat rough surface with a banding pattern radiating out from the center towards the margin

nothing better than some nice tea by the campfire~ :neocat_mug_drink:

#tea #gongfucha #outdoors #camping #film #filmphotography #photography
color film photo of a black metal kettle being heated over a campfire, balanced between the logs and the metal ring that contains the fire color film photo of my travel gongfu tea set laid out on a wooden picnic table as I make my morning tea; on the right side of the image, my bright white gaiwan sits with its lid slightly ajar atop the lid of the octagonal wooden box which this tea set packs into; the side of the gaiwan is decorated with plants growing around a boulder in the style of Chinese ink painting; on the left, a clear glass gong dao bei rests atop a dark blue cloth table runner, upon which three small white teacups are also visible as it reaches away from the camera; the gong dao bei has just a little bit of pale green tea in it, waiting to be poured, with a couple escaped tea leaves sitting at the bottom; in the background you can see the black kettle in which water was boiled and the empty wooden box that stores the tea set when not in use, as well as some other miscellaneous items further back

#mushtodon #mushrooms #sporespondence #fungi #naturephotography #macrophotography #photography
macro photo of several tiny mushrooms growing from the side of a stick; the stalks are mostly dark with a slight light speckling, but fade to white as they near the cap; the caps are white and irregularly shaped, appearing to have dried up somewhat; under the caps are similarly colored gills which run down the stalk a bit; at the base of the stalk each one flares out a bit where it attaches to the stick almost the same as the other photo, just with slightly different framing and focus

Happy #MushroomMonday! :neocat_happy:

Here's a fun _Russula_ mushroom popping up right in the middle of the trail for your viewing pleasure :3

#fungi #mushrooms #sporespondence #mushtodon #naturephotography #photography
close-up photo of a small mushroom growing through a layer of dead leaves, sticks, and other miscellaneous forest floor debris; the cap is upturned and cracking around the edges, with a deep red cap that fades to a creamy off-white towards the edges, and gills on its underside that also have a warm off-white color to them; the stem is a slightly purer white

[CW: fucked up moth getting eaten by fungus]

celebrating a bit of a spooky #FungiFriday with this naturally occurring horror well within comprehension :3

#fungi #sporespondence #parasite #zombiefungus #moth #insects #naturephotography #photography #spooky
photo of a large and quite dead moth clinging to the bark of a tree; it's covered in bright white fungal growth that has an appearance almost like that of the frosting one might use to build a gingerbread house, which contrasts against the moths dull orangey cream color another angle of the same moth, now viewed from the direction of the sun that lights it one more angle of the same moth; if you look closely you can see the slightly fuzzy texture of the white fungus that consumes it as the large, empty looking eye of the moth stares back towards the camera

[CW: spider pic]

check out this fun spiky friend I saw the other day! I think this is a spined micrathena (_Micrathena gracilis_)

#spider #bugs #micrathena #naturephotography #macrophotography #photography
macro photo of a dramatically spiked spider hanging from a strand of web that stretches horizontally across a background of green and blue blurs from the leafy trees in front of the clear sky; its abdomen is large and distinctive, with sharp spines pointing in all directions and a pattern of light and dark stripes along the side; the rest of its body seems relatively simple, with a relatively consistent dark brown coloration on all the legs, but we don't get a great look at the cephalothorax here

been slacking on sharing photos again but here's one I'm really proud of from this past weekend ^

I don't know too much about damselflies but someone on iNat suggested the ID Eastern forktail (_Ischnura verticalis_)

#insects #bugs #damselfly #naturephotography #macrophotography #photography
close-up photo of a silvery-blue damselfly perched near the top of some kind of tall grass; its transparent wings are folded back along its long, narrow body, and its large eye reflects green and yellow tones from the surroundings; the grass it stands on displays a quite vibrant red color and appears to have already released some of its seeds; the background is a blur of yellows and greens from the surrounding wetland grasses and other plants, with just a little bit of bright blue sky sneaking in at the top
