Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes)
(c) John Corney 2010
There's no time like Halloween to talk about flesh-eating plants! The other night I worked on the above photo of a tropical pitcher plant (Nepenthes) that I took in the conservatory at the Golden Gate Park. I don't know about you, but I really like how this photo came out. If you click through and look at the larger image it is amazing to see the red veins in the plant.

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants just like the Venus Flytrap that we are all so familiar with. This variety of pitcher plant grows by climbing over trees, but most varieties of pitcher plant grow on the ground. I have some other photos of pitcher plants that grow in swamps.

Taking Photos in RAW DNG Format with Mobile Devices

Posted
Note: This post was originally published on January 16, 2017, as the second part of a three-part series on RAW format mobile photography. Some details — particularly the apps' feature sets, Android versions, and the state of mobile RAW photography — have changed considerably since then. I've left the original text in place as a record of where things stood at the time. Following on from yesterday's post ( What is RAW photography format? ), today I am going to share with you some ways you can take RAW DNG (digital negative) files using an Android device such as a smartphone or tablet.
