Silicon City

Created for Macro Monday this is just one corner of a 3"x4" printed circuit board ... a hard drive controller I removed from a dead hard drive, Many PC boards have all the various components arranged in rectangular fashion on the substrate. This one caught my attention because the components in this corner were arranged at a 45 degree angle to the edges and balance of the board. It kind of reminded me of looking down on a city as one arrives in a plane .

 

For this I set up the camera and lens to capture a low angled view across the card. None of the "buildings" in this city is over 1/8th inch high.

 

Happy Macro Monday Flickr Friends and thanks in advance for your views, Faves and Comments that keep me inspired.

 

For the macro camera nerds the 100mm macro lens was mounted to 2 extension tubes totaling 31mm. The camera's "Focus Bracketing" program was used to capture 40 images which were "stacked" and processed in Adobe Photoshop.
