Three and Me
Inspiration, where art thou... I struggled with herb cubes (nice texture on the aluminium foil they are wrapped in, though) and printer ink cartridges, and other things, and when I rearranged my three little helpers, small LED lamps bought at an internationally active Swedish furniture store, the sun shone through my window and created a nice twinkle on their surface. Since I had the star filter mounted, because I had hoped for some extra sparkle on those herb cubes, I got some nice extra bling. Of course I should have dusted the lamps before (dust bokeh!), and removed the drying rack, and the tripod from my camera, but it was a spontaneous fun decision to shoot them. I have a sharper shot, but with too many reflected selfies (yes, more than one) in the capture. I'd say one small one is enough ;-) And just for fun I measured the size of all three lamps together, and was surprised to discover that the whole arrangement is still within the 3" limit, a tad smaller actually. The head/shade of one of those lamps is about 6,5 cm (2,55906 inches) long and 3,4 cm (1,33858 inches high). I measured several times to make sure everything is within limits.
The biggest macro I ever shot for MMs, size: 7,5 x 7,5 cm (2,95276 x 2,95276 inches).
Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate every single one, and your faves!
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Inspiration, wo bist Du... Ich habe es mit Kräuterwürfeln probiert (in hübsch texturierter Aluminiumfolie verpackt) und mit drei Tintenkartuschen für den Drucker und noch anderem. Als ich meine drei kleinen Helferlein, LED-Spots, erworben in einem international tätigen schwedischen Möbelhaus, umarrangierte, schien auf einmal die Sonne durchs Fenster und ließ sie schön glitzern. Da ich den Sternfilter drauf hatte (wegen der Alufolie), ergab das immerhin ein paar hübsche Sterne. Zum Spaß habe ich zum Lineal gegriffen und war erstaunt, dass die Lampen, so arrangiert, noch innerhalb der 3"-Grenze liegen.
Vielen Dank für Eure lieben Kommentare und Faves und einen schönen Montag mit hoffentlich nicht so viel Regen wie angekündigt.
