Fungi on fungi for #fungifriday.
These striking filaments are the reproductive structures of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus commonly known as bonnet or pin mould. It lives by infecting host mushrooms, producing thread-like sporangiophores that end in minute spore capsules, giving the mushrooms a fuzzy, pincushion-like appearance.

Another #streetview form #Paris. This time I took it on the way to the train station. Although it was all concrete and stones, I somehow found it charming how on one side is a little chaos wth all those cars and on the other side is pure #calmness on the bike road. Would be nice if the bike road would have more people on it. #bicycle #streetphotography #bwphotography #urbanphotography #photography

Question: When I edit a photo on the iPhone, the image is displayed *much* brighter (and prettier) than when I exit editing mode — even when no actual edits are made to the image.
From searching around, this appears to be a “feature” related to HDR, but I still don’t understand the intent. All it does is make me feel bad about my photos once I leave exit mode, because I have just seen what could have been! 😔
Can any #photo nerds point me to an explainer of this behavior?

Explanation:
Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka are the bright bluish stars from east to west (upper right to lower left) along the diagonal in this cosmic vista. Otherwise known as the Belt of Orion, these three blue supergiant stars are hotter and much more massive than the Sun. They lie from 700 to 2,000 light-years away, born of Orion's well-studied interstellar clouds. In fact, clouds of gas and dust adrift in this region have some surprisingly familiar shapes, including the dark Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula near Alnitak at the upper right. The famous Orion Nebula itself is off the right edge of this colorful starfield. The telescopic frame spans almost 4 degrees on the sky.

Here's a bunch more. Something about sharing a tonne of pics in one post kind of leans into the chaos of the day anyway :)
