Finally a new photo! This was still taken before I knew about Raws though. :/

Exposure Settings:

Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/60s ISO: 100 Focal Length: 32mm

Information:

I have to post one picture every day, I can take pictures in advance, in case I’m unable to take a picture for whatever reason (vacation, weather, idk) but I still have to post once per day.

I can’t post pictures of the same thing within like, a week or two, idk, I might get rid of this “rule” if I feel like it.

Don’t be afraid to give me any feedback on any of my pictures, I’m still veeery new to photography and would love any feedback given.

Gear:

Canon EOS Rebel t2i

18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 EFS zoom lens

55-250mm f/4-5.6 EFS zoom lens

Pictures are taken in RAW, processed in Darktable and GIMP, then converted to webp and compressed to 70% quality.

If you’d like a higher (or full) quality image, check out my account on Unsplash! It doesn’t have all of my pictures as of writing, but I’ll slowly be putting everything on there over time!

Also, you’re free to do anything you want with any of my pictures, just don’t claim you were the one to take it :)

    Interesting as a “what happened to that plant” sort of thing, and well taken to get the question asked.

    Do you happen to know what happened? Webbing? Fungus? Decay? Naturally silvered plant?

      The hairs are naturaly made by the plant and are called trichomes.

      The “hairs interfere with the feeding of at least some small herbivores and, depending upon stiffness and irritability to the palate, large herbivores as well. Hairs on plants growing in areas subject to frost keep the frost away from the living surface cells. In windy locations, hairs break up the flow of air across the plant surface, reducing transpiration. Dense coatings of hairs reflect sunlight, protecting the more delicate tissues underneath in hot, dry, open habitats. In addition, in locations where much of the available moisture comes from fog drip, hairs appear to enhance this process by increasing the surface area on which water droplets can accumulate.” wikipedia

      The stinging spikes of stinging nettles are also a type of modified trichome which is pretty cool
