I wonder if James would approve of this? This is a look inside of a small TSA 007 safety lock which I use on my – at the moment unemployed – camera backpack. I think James should approve if the number is 007, although I read somewhere that these locks are easy to pick. Well, I don't care, the only thing this lock is supposed to do is to prevent pickpockets from emptying the camera compartment of my backpack while I'm in a crowd :)
My MM experience at the moment is like picking the petals off a daisy, saying "Will I take part", "Will I skip", "Will I take part", "Will I skip"... and so on ;) I seem to be in a lockdown lethargy, but my inspiration is slowly coming back. Or is it? Well, I certainly hope so :)
The keyhole of this safety lock is 4 mm / 0,157 inches high. I used the 10mm Kenko extension tube and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens attached to my macro lens to get nicely close, but not too close. The image is a manual focus stack made of only two images, because it was impossible to get those two metal components (there are more inside) equally sharp in a single shot. Processed in DXO PhotoLab, Analog Efex (the vignette), Color Efex (Graduated Neutral Density Filter) and Luminar AI (details on the metal parts inside of the lock).
Happy Macro Monday, stay safe and happy, everyone :)
