Try using a UV torch on Clematis. My standard Montanas look completely different, as do many other flowers. Bees etc. see things quite differently. My Buddleia even still has some blossom despite the winter frosts setting in. If you can find a UV transparent lens, and team it up with a DSLR without an internal filter, it gets very interesting. Orchids particularly.
As well as IR.
It is all āfalseā colour of course, but everything we see through our eyes is just an illusion, particularly colour. Most other animals donāt much bother with colour, preferring detail and movement sensibility. At which they are often far far better than us.
I have a question ActiveAlā¦ā¦ Do points count for each āmilestoneā??
For instance, first flashlight bought at WalMart counts 1 point? Then the same for Harbor Freight & Dollar Storeā¦ first light from each one counts as 1 point?Total 3 points possible??
Then 6500Kā¦. 1st 6500K light counts for 3 points?? Total of 3 points possible in the 6500K Category??
Or does each 6500K light owned count for 3 points?? (surely notā¦ :person_facepalming: . )
ā¦ā¦.
Edit: Depending on how points are counted I am either on the āCreepy/Irredeemableā line or so far āFallenā Iāll never see daylight again. :person_facepalming: ā¦
I didnāt know Wasabi would do that. How bad was it?
Last week, I chopped up a Chocolate Ghost Pepper and put the whole thing in my bowl of Chili. It added a nice heat. :smiling_imp:
I washed off my hands after chopping up the pepper, scrubbing and using dish detergent to try to dissolve it off my skin. Later, I was eating some thing with my hands, and burned my mouth again from the heat that was still there.
You could do it too. Surprisingly, pepper heat is something you could easily build up a tolerance for. Start with something that only has a little heat, like Cholula. Add some to your food, and assuming you like the flavor of it, youāll find yourself adding more of it each time after a while. Then, move up to something hotter until you get used to that, then hotter again, and so on. I couldnāt have eaten a whole Ghost Pepper, even with a whole plate of food, just a year ago. Thereās also some variation in heat depending on the growing environment. I donāt think these peppers I have are nearly as hot as Ghost Peppers can get. But, theyāre close enough for me.
Trivia fact: A lot of people donāt know that the āhotnessā of peppers isnāt really hotness, or even a chemical āburnā. It is simply a hack of nature. Itās basically just telling your hot/burn/pain nerves to activate as if there really was some heat applied. However, it is possible to be allergic, and have some very bad reactions. But that is a different matter.
Itās amazing how many people think Cholula is hot. And itās fun to watch their faces when I put some into a shot glass and calmly drink it.
Itās the pepper equivalent of impressing muggles with a 150 lm flashlight. Like a D4 at its default level. āOoh, thatās bright!ā āIf you like that, you should see it on a high modeā¦ā
Damn, my FL craze lasted for about a year and I managed to get well into weird, check a couple of items from creepy and make one attempt (albeit unsuccessful) into irredeemable
Okay, on the flashlight tier scale, Dollar Store, etc. should actually be negatives. Points should be deducted. Not one added to your score, but points subtracted.
On the hot pepper topic, itās not always the heat going in that makes the difference. Thatās all I have to say about that. :zipper_mouth_face:
