This is a blog about Images, "The Darker Image" refers not to the content so much (though it is there), but to my use of Dark Space to create tension, or emotional content.

Best Seats in the House
The first time Roger and Helene stayed with us after we had moved to Ferry St, we wandered down around the Wabash. This is what we saw down near where the old Brown Street bridge used to be.

Blue on Blue
This is the second of my, bug eyes posts. Once again it is a Damselfly and a Blue one at that, but this one has its eyes in good focus and he was 90deg to me so all of him is in focus. This image is for the eyes, as the pixel dimensions are larger than most screens can handle.
This is one of my best Damselflies so far, though the background is less than interesting. The “EYE” is the test so far of whether or not we go an acceptable shot or not.
I think that my next step after I have gotten all the bug eyes I want (will never happen), will be Focus Stacking. A WHOLE nother world, and MUCH harder, because most bugs don’t sit still long enough to get the number of different DOF(depth of field) shots to stack. We do some of this already, when we are sure that we have gotten the eyes, and conditions do allow for multiple shots at different DoFs.

Will I eat in Time?
Well after Rogers challenge to post an image for our latest escapade, I decided to go ahead and post one of my better images of that day/s adventuring.
This is of course a female Mosquito, the eyes of which are very,Very had to get, without cheating, anesthetizing, or killing then shooting. I saw this one hanging under this leaf, and for some reason I had all my paraphernalia ready to go, in the time my flash could fire recharge and fire again, she had detected my CO2 and came right after me. She had not yet gotten her load of blood for egg production. I had no intent of filling the role of donor for her.
When Roger and I saw the back of the camera, and saw that at 100% we could see the facets we could not believe it. Mosquitos have some of the smallest eyes for body size I have seen in the insect world. Roger will be quick to point out how lucky I was to have everything line up as needed, at the time it was needed, I agree.
