I started off with Steemit in May of 2017 and established a nice following. My username is the same as my bitcointalk profile, established in 2013. Overtime the username has more or less felt like an altcoin

First with the flower in focus. Second with the unopened bud in focus. This is blacklight ultraviolet photography.

In the full spectrum cameras view is a Dianthus flower, also known as a "Pink". They are an official flower of a city in Japan. These annuals come in various colors, this one is a mixture of

This is a Rhododendron plant. It has alot of history in the Appalachian Mountains, and even with stories of the plant in Greek history. "Mad Honey" was consumed and gave soldiers odd behavior

I have been switching between my flashlight and my tube blacklight, and still trying to decide which one is better. Maybe different lights are going to fluoresce better. These flowers and leaves have an

In January Bitcointalk enabled a Merit system, I have seen them used in the ANNs but have not thought about it much. Figured its a good way to help the communities I am in. Member of Bitcointalk since

Near the end of doing some blacklight shots, wondered what my finger looked like in macro. Was like a flea under a microscope. I think my fingernails are stained with food spices from home cooking so much

This flower is purple in visible light but more blue in blacklight. It has some really great looking small flowers, when using my macro lens theres alot more to see. The buds of unopened flowers have a

The garden is filled with happy bees and lizards, quartz rocks all around probably locally found. It sits next to a large river that boarders Georgia and South Carolina. I planned to stay near some dig

This home has really nice lighting, I made use of that light with the trees using long exposures. The winding pathway with large roses really come out from the good lighting. The cactus garden in the back

Early spring brings new fern growth. When rays of light hit them, they glow from their chemicals in the leaves Cinnamon fern stalks, they are over 2 feet tall.

The rules : ①Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it. ②If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible

I really like how water looks in Ultraviolet, need to explore more of that. Including in my blacklight pictures.

To me it looks like a alien structure from No Mans Sky video game. Taken in 403 nm Ultraviolet.

This tree and vines reminds me of what I see in Aceh photos alot :-) Though ours do not produce fruits.
