Craquelure Chromium as the only element (5)

Straight out of camera

 

As I had shot several black&white/monochromatic type pictures in the first 4 weeks of the 2021-52 week challenge, I decided to go another way for week 5's theme Monochrome

 

My thinking was that if you get close enough, everything becomes monochromatic. I then found that either I could not get that close on the items I wanted to photograph and then noticed that printed items that are not as single color as they seem to be (comment shot).

 

The coffee mug on my desk not only has the structure of caffeine on it, it also shows the periodic table. The Cr symbol for Chromium was black on yellow, making it monochromatic (black is very dark yellow).

 

The width of the photographed areas is about 9mm using a 100mm macro lens on a crop camera and 104mm worth of extension tubes. LED lighting around the lens.
