In June, a friend of mine was in a motorcycle wreck related to road debris at night. She won't be going home until at least October. There's a gofundme to help her out...after all, bills don't stop just because you're in the hospital. Please help if you can.

This is the front board for the blues harp preamp. It's an unconventional 6-layer board, is in final inspections, and should arrive sometime next week. After that, it's assembly, and final tests with Tall Paul.

Well, I'm finally starting the last stages of design and development of the blues harp preamp "pedal" for my buddy Paul. Doing PCB layout for the front board, and some fit-and-finish changes to the overall design. Will be selecting an enclosure soon, and then...it should be done.

After our [very] brief convo about this lens, and infrared, I've gotten inspired. Picked one up off of eBay. If you're open to it, could you PM me? I'd like to talk a bit about the rear lens element.

Unedited. Irix 15mm lens with on-lens CPL filter for additional effect.

From the first set of photos experimenting with my full spectrum EOS R, there's this. The only post processing is the application of an FS LUT, and downscaling to post here.

Backstory: I've never seen the Northern Lights. Fun fact: I still haven't. Nothing visible was going on overhead, but to a full spectrum camera, there was a lot happening not visible to the naked eye.

I'm impressed with the amount of gradient you're able to achieve with this setup! I'm assuming, also, a 720nm pass filter? I'm surprised at the lack of veining in the subject, but maybe that's from the very low light level.

Ja, the color diffraction will...or should be more interesting come spring. Glad you got it out on the eos r

Hard to tell with the post processing; did you use the x-ray lens in this shot?

It just occurred to me that what Nietzsche is describing in "Beyond Good and Evil" a western understanding of the Buddha Mind as described in Zen.

I have the same modded camera, and a small handful of clip-in filters. They're expensive, but a heck of a lot cheaper than a 97mm 720nm filter, lol! I'm looking forward to seeing the results, when you get to it!

I'd be really interested in seeing that lens on a full spectrum camera. I'm betting there's a massive softening of the infrared--far more with the X-Ray lens than is seen with standard visible light lenses.

"Enshitification" is the term used by Defcon folks. Do it slow enough that nobody notices. When you make the comparison you just did, and suddenly it's painfully obvious. I could go on about this phenomenon lol

Is this stitched, or was it dark enough to not over expose the snowfall?

Infrared photo at 720nm of a trumpet vine with a deerfly on one of the flowers. The image is white, because most visible light is filtered out. The result has a softness that looks the way a marshmallow feels.

With this lens, you can see a minor IR hotspot in the center of the image. Not the best, not terrible, either.

Audio sweep tests of a 3-stage subminiature pentode preamp for harmonica that I'm building for a buddy. This was a little while ago, and changes have been made since the recording. The project is currently on pause.

That's excellent. I haven't played since...hmm. '97? I think I've actually played Rifts more recently, and that was '99.
