Macro Mondays Back in the day. This 27 year old walkman still works and reminds me of way back when they were the ultimate accessory. You did need a box full of batterys as thay didn't last too long ... :-) HMM

Macro Mondays. This week's theme: #BackInTheDay
I remember clearly the days when the preferred mode of photography seemed to be Slides. The long wait before your slides arrived in the mail. Then the invitation of friends, snacks, drinks, the lights go out and the Slide Projector starts.... Good times. Images seemed to come alive on the big screen. I have heard stories about people dreading being invited to friends' Slide Nights but not me, I've always enjoyed them. I found this slide in the front yard! Brought back many memories. My own have sadly not survived the many country moves.
The first thought I had for the theme #BackInTheDay, was the floppy disk which I still remember using when storing important documents for school work. Once I forgot to store it on one of this and had a huge loss of work.
Nowadays its so simple to have a small USB in the purse or even store online in clouds.
Despite this is so old-fashioned, i kind of enjoy memories of using it. Makes me realise how easy we have it nowadays.
A lovely Easter to everyone, HMM!
Long before sensors made their homes in modern-day cameras, there was this thing called film!
An expired roll of fujifilm shot with an old 50mm Nikon lens on Nikon D200. To achieve the magnification seen here, a 12mm extension tube was attached between the lens and the camera.
An inexpensive speedlight-clone was used to light this subject. It was held left of and a foot above the subject. At 1/128 power, it was triggered by camera's built-in flash in commander mode. A string of holiday LED lights hung inches behind the subject provide the bokeh hexagons!

Il castello di Acaya, si trova a pochi chilometri dalla costa adriatica del Salento, non molto distante da Lecce, di cui Acaya è una frazione. Il castello sorge nel luogo dove sorgeva il piccolo insediamento medievale di Segine, di proprietà dei dell'Acaya, centro che nel 1535 mutò nome in Acaya, proprio dal nome della famiglia baronale.
The castle of Acaya is located a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast of Salento, not far from Lecce, of which Acaya is a hamlet. The castle rises in the place where the small Medieval settlement of Agenas, owned by the Acaya, was established, which in 1535 changed its name to Acaya, right from the name of the Baronite family.
Macro Mondays 'back in the day' theme.
Small brass weights from vintage scales which I hope fit the theme - anyway they do for me as I've used digital scales for many years.
Total width measurement of all the weights is 4.5 cm
Macro Monday theme: "Back In The Day" and I have about 5 of these in my possession. A Cassette Tape, it holds the voices of my children when they were very young. I don't have a way of listening to them now, as I have no player.
This covers three items;
Fountain pens are no longer in general use apart from official/ceremonial documents,
The practice of signing across a stamp to authorise an official document or receipt has not been common practice since the 1960s, and
Stamps depicting King George V ended with his death in 1936.

This is a 2 ½ inch portion of a “Carbide Cap Lamp”
The lamp was used by miners in the early 1900’s. The lamp cost $4.30 and the adjustable canvas cap on which it was hung was priced at $1.75
The lamp produced an intensely brilliant white flame from the controlled mixing of carbide and water. The lamps also had a self lighter attachment.
Many years ago we talked with an old miner, and he said that canaries were taken down into the lower chambers of the mine to warn the miners of a gas build up. If the canary died – the miners got out of there in a hurry. I don’t blame them since they had flames atop their heads. Thankfully we have headlamps with LED lights these days. A much safer alternative.
HMM!

Elsewhere known as the john, the shanty, the shack, the throne, the shed, the earth closet, the relief office—it was the humble outhouse. The little buildings “out back” were as important as any building built before indoor plumbing. This was the building you located as soon as possible when you came to visit.
As outhouses were eventually replaced with indoor plumbing and fell into disuse, they became treasure troves for those willing to explore the old privy pits. Outhouses were also domestic disposal sites for old bottles, crockery and dishes.
So believe it or not, they still yield historic pieces of value.
You can view "large".....but CAUTION: it might get a bit smelly. ;-)
Thank Y'all for viewing this small piece of History.
Commentary is welcome.....but keep it clean....
Have a great Sunday !
MACRO MONDAYS : BACK IN THE DAY.
Giuda ha venduto Cristo per 30 denari. In euro, quanti sarebbero oggi?
1 denaro (argento) = 16 assi € 0.60 circa
1 denaro x 30 = sono 18 euro
L’equivalente attuale delle monete antiche non dà un’idea precisa del loro valore. La Bibbia invece fornisce informazioni circa il loro potere d’acquisto e questo aiuta a capire che valore avevano un tempo. All’epoca del ministero terreno di Gesù i braccianti agricoli ricevevano di solito un denaro per una giornata lavorativa di 12 ore. (Mt 20:2) Si presume che all’epoca delle Scritture Ebraiche la paga fosse più o meno uguale. In tal caso un siclo d’argento sarebbe stato pari al salario di tre giorni.
