  Tsunami by Crystallographix

  Tri-potassium citrate crystals A series of images of microscopic crystal formations viewed using polarized light and captured by photomicrography. / Chemical compounds, ranging from the everyday to the exotic, are crystallized on to glass slides. / The crystal patterns are viewed using a microscope fitted with Polaroid filters at magnifications 25 to 250 times actual size. / The normally colorless crystals produce vibrant kaleidoscopic images embracing the entire color spectrum as a palette. / Hours may be spent searching for a composition of color and shape that attracts the eye of the photographer. / The resulting images evoke emotional responses unique to each observer

  Gravel from the anthropocene by GeoGecko

  Our geological legacy is likely to be just this, broken glass and other near-indestructible detritus from our age. Couldn’t we do better?

  4-Dimensionsional world reduced to 2-D by Dragan Petrovic

  Picture is a 2-D object. In this shot fog gives us a sense of depth, adds third dimension. Moving train on Geneva (IL) train station adds another component to this image – time! What is time? It is what happens when nothing else happens! Here’s what is happening in my fair town every morning: a bunch of commuters are fetching a ride to Chicago. Canon 50D / Tamron 28-300 mm lens @ 59 mm / f/11 / ISO 100 / 20 seconds! People were cooperative! / No flash, tripod (of course)

  eye & camera focus by Dragan Petrovic

  Camera could focus on either lighthouse or spider-web. I could see both. I guess brain does quite a bit of processing on the fly. Picture is taken from a bridge over Fox River in Batavia, Illinois. Fog was heavy and bridge offered spectacular view of wet spiderweb swaying in the wind. I picked one that seem to be better protected from the wind and took two shots: one focused on light house and one focused on the web. Cropping, contrast, sharpening … I guess that’s it. Canon 50D / Tamron 28-300 mm lens @ 59 mm / ISO 100, 1/125, tripod, f/11, no flash
