Apart from the roses and inks that starred in the previous blog, we also played around with models and backgrounds, some dichroic cubes with laser torch, crystal ball, CDs etc. The Cambridge background was taken and printed by me around 1999 so you might be able to spot some differences to now.
On Saturday at Brandon, I used a UV light on a variety of toadstools and must research what causes the consistent different colours that are emitted under this light source. At Santon Downham was well as finding a wide range of new species, we tried using a smoke machine and a crystal ball with some of the toadstools growing on the abundant branches and in the pine cones. I photographed what I thought was a small beetle and it turned out to be a sheep tick while the white '?gall' from Saturday is a Sputnick Spider's egg sac.
