Re: PESO - Crystal

My favourite crystal-growing trick is to grow a large chrome alum (potassium chromium sulphate) crystal, which is a deep purple colour, and then suspend that in a solution of ordinary alum (ammonium aluminium sulphate) which overlays a colourless crystal on the original. You can vary the colour

Thank you, David, Dan, Alan and Larry for your comments. Alan, I forgot to write, this was epsom (not Epson :-) ) salt, which is a hydrated magnesium sulfate. Larry, the idea of a polarizer is interesting one, but in the current situation it would require some contraption for the polarized

Re: PESO - Crystal

Very cool. I suspect that you might have some success with polarizing both the source light and the camera. You also might want to arrange it so that the crystal face "reflects" a black background rather than the source light. On October 19, 2020 12:11:27 PM PDT, Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > >Back

Very nice, Igor. You took me back! We did something like that with Copper Sulphate when our kids were at school. The crystals were quite big but, sadly, not photographed. Alan C On 19-Oct-20 09:11 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Back in May, sitting at home, we did some scientific experiments: we

Back in May, sitting at home, we did some scientific experiments: we grew salt crystals, and then I quickly took a few photos that the kiddo could show to her virtual class. This is the most "photogenic" crystal http://42graphy.org/misc/2020-05-18-crystals/_IR04043.html However, it is actua

We had W/E at the Crystal Springs Mountain Resort about 200km south of Phalaborwa. Warm & sunny on the Sat, cold & rainy on the Sun. Saw plenty animals in the game reserve (took no photos!) but concentrated instead on wild flowers with mixed success. Here is a view of our Chalet - scroll R for

Re: PESO - Crystal Wave

It's not unusual for Toronto to get one or two "cold snaps" in the winter where the temps get that low for several days or a week. The difference is this year we haven't had the thaw that usually follows. Temps in mid February usually hit a high around 0C but we're quite a bit colder than that.

Re: PESO - Crystal Wave

I have to admit it was pretty cool out there. I was standing right at the edge between snow and the ice on the rocks. The ice had no traction and there was no way I'd put a foot on it; falling into that water would not have been good. At least the wind was coming off the water so it was blowing

It's cool enough to be considered arctic weather. Is this the average winter weather in Toronto or this year is colder than usual for you? It looks great on a photo but I wonder how did it felt standing there. On Sat, Feb 15, 2014 at 5:00 PM, knarf wrote: > This is from several weeks ago when 60

Thanks, Bruce. I just set the light balance to the scene 'til it feels best to me. It's quietly subdued with only a hint of peach tone throughout the water. Certainly appreciate your taking the time to forward comments. Jack --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Love the image in general

Love the image in general. I pulled it down and played with saturation just a bit - if you bring up the saturation a little, some really warm orange hues come up nicely - I rather like it, gives it a warmer morning feeling. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 9:16:18 AM, you wrote
