Sunny Sakura 001

Shot these while it was sunny enough to shoot what I wanted... which wasn't long...

I believe I shot these in the morning.... not my ideal time to shoot...

In some of the frames you can see what appears to be some type of luminescent materials.
At first, I thought it was a side-effect of the filters in combination with the electronic components & programming of the camera... Perhaps a side effect of the lens, or the inner workings of the DSLR which work VERY different than analogue, and use it's own internal calculated "algorithms" to filter what the image SHOULD look like.

But, my daughter kept find these rocks that were covered in a GREEN algae-like substance, and kept showing it to me. I was like: Uh-huh, that's nice... it's just some algae with some worm-like organism on it...

But, the things I'm picking up on the equipment SEEM to be showing THROUGH the water, form BENEATH it, and being refracted but the waves.

I was using a UV filter (one of several which I have) with a star cross-hair filter beneath that. So, I thought well it MUST be an optical effect of THAT, right?

But, the phenomena don't occur in ALL the photos, and ONLY in THAT spot.

Also the green glow shows no signs of the STAR effects on them like the glistening of the water ripple highlights.

I HAVE also heard of a type of algae or plankton that use bio-luminescence that can cause the beach to glow at some times of the year. I just never heard of it this far North.

So... is it bio material?

Or, is it a mechanical effect?

New England Snow Globe Photos

Snow globe photography in New England

I'd purchased a Japanese wide angle fisheye lens last year, specifically because I wanted to shoot in the snow. I'm still learning it, and need more practice with it. But, I like experimenting. It's a macro, lens but I like edgeier ways to play with photography.

I'd seen other photographers play with things for winter, and I was very inspired by that.

So, here you can see how it's fun for winter, because it makes your world look like it's captured inside of a snow globe.
