Is it okay to post recent pictures but not taken specifically for this challenge? I don't get a lot of time to shoot, certainly not on a daily basis. But I have plenty of stuff I've amassed over the summer that I can post with these. Just want to make sure. Because some photo challenges the challenge is to go out and take a NEW pic for that challenge and post it. But at a daily pace that's kind of hard for me. Took a month or so ago at The Minnesota State Fair. One of my fav pics of all time. And a similar shot to Aksalon's, my backyard/house.
thenewgreen mentioned in the day 1 thread that it's fine to post new or old shots. That first one's really nice in the way light(?) on the right looks similar to an insect's eye. Great composition.
Yeah, it's a light. The dragonfly was on the grill of an old John Deere tractor from the 40s. And thanks!
As rezzeJ mentioned, no strict rules here, I think the only rule should be that the photograph should have been taken by you. Otherwise, let's just have fun with it. That first image is really great by the way. Nice work
I don't have a clue how to post pictures here. But I have a picture of some nice tomato plants..haha
This is a single oligodendrocyte, a myelinating brain cell. Myelin is the substance that "insulates" neurons. I photographed it using a laser scan confocal microscope. To visualize, the cell is stained with a couple antibodies that make it fluoresce when excited with the right wavelength (543nm in this case, which is a green light). For scale, the circular bit in the center (the nucleus) is about 8 micrometers is diameter. The color is false, so green is a loose thing here. The colors correlate to depth. Red is closer to you and blue is farther away.
