Fine tuning the Lego spectrometer more.
Using a maglite as the source eliminates the need for a separate collimating lens.
I also switched away from the very flaky variable slit made of a sliding brick that wouldn't stay in place if you looked at it wrong.
After some failed experiments with aluminum foil, I discovered that the round tree trunk Duplo brick was a tiny bit smaller than a nominal square 2x2 brick. When placed next to a square brick and locked in place with …

Overview of the new spectrometer setup: a mag lite sits in the groove between two studs with bricks on either side to keep it from rolling, then has a single stud gap before the slit for inserting the sample into

These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.

Composite of 12 photos I’ve selected for my 2026 calendar. In order the pictures are: January - a house finch in a tree February - a coyote standing looking at the photographer (me) March - sunrise over mountains April - 3 days-old goslings in weeds May - a catbird in a tree June - scenic view of mountains, clouds, rain, and sunlight July - closeup of a Mariposa Lily August - closeup of a prickly poppy September - head and shoulders of an elk cow October - a blue heron taking flight November - …

This video essay about the look of Sinners (which was shot on 70mm IMAX and Ultra Panavision) brought up something I hadn't realised until now: the large format gives you a wide field of view with the look of a telephoto lens! What that means is that you get shallow depth of field like in closeup shots with the framing of a wider angle lens.
Personal observation: there's also very little barrel lens distortion that usually comes with wide shots on 35mm.

Screen grab of the movie Sinners by Ryan Coogler. A black pastor is standing inside a room made of white wooden planks and beams. He's forming a silhouette in front of an over-exposed white window. A cross is hanging on the wall screen left and a church boy is out of focus in the foreground. Green lines have been overlaid onto the image to underscore that straight lines at the edges of the frame are actually pretty straight.
A very wide shot from the modern remake of Magnificent Seven, which was shot on 35mm film using anamorphic lenses. Outdoor scene in a wild west town with wooden buildings. A group of at least a dozen people in period clothing is keeping their distance around the central character. He is a middle-aged man with short hair wearing a black dress coat. He's pointing a revolver towards a person just to the right of the viewer. This shot is not the same framing as the one from Sinners but it demons…

It's that time of year... Cold, dry, washing your hands a lot from holiday travels and cooking.
If you're not a fan of greasy stinky lotions I can recommend this. You know it's the good stuff when it comes in a featureless white gallon jug with barely any branding.

#photography #bloomScrolling #hippeastrum

a closeup of a tangle of green Hippeastrum buds in the process of bursting, catching direct sunlight against a dark background
closeup of white and green Hippeastrum buds in the process of opening, seen in diffuse overcast daylight, with the image focusing on one bud in particular
a similar view as in the precious image, but even more focused on just one bud, and a different one than in the previous image. Emphasizing especially the subtle pattern of its veins
