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.

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!

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!
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 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.

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.

Finally disued since 2003 and replcaed by the Metrocard, this is an old NY City subway token that I still have in my possession.

Went to the German Museum of Technology to find something that has been outdated by technological evolution (other than my old calculator, some old tubes from my headphone amplifier or old quills I have at home). This is the pick-up head of an "Odeon Favorit" gramophone built in the late 1930s, designed exclusively for playing shellac records. In another section of the museum I found a box of (even older, ca. 1910) shellac needles which had to be changed after each play, because worn steel needles would otherwise damage the grooves of a shellac record. Those needles came in the varieties of "soft", "medium", "loud", "very loud" and "extra loud". Should you ever visit Berlin one day and the weather then happens to be as ghastly as it was yesterday, I can highly recommend a visit to this museum ;-) .
A Happy Easter Macro Monday, dear Flickr friends ;-)
Das gruselige Wetter gestern war ein willkommener Anlass, mal wieder das Deutsche Technikmuseum in Kreuzberg zu besuchen. Unter anderem wurde ich dort auch im Kleinen für das heutige MM-Thema "Back in the Day" fündig. Dies ist der Tonabnehmer eines "Odeon Favorit" Grammofons, gebaut Ende der 1930er-Jahre von der Carl Lindström AG und ausschließlich zum Abspielen von Schellack-Schallplatten bestimmt. In einem anderen Bereich des Museums fand ich außerdem eine Schachtel mit Wechselnadeln für noch ältere Grammofone (ca. 1910). Es wurde empfohlen, die Nadel nach jedem Abspielen auszutauschen, da eine abgenutzte Nadel sonst die Rillen der Platte beschädigen könnte. Diese Nadeln gab es in den Varianten "leise", "mittel", "laut", "sehr laut" und "extra laut". Wenn Ihr mal in Berlin seid und das Wetter so mies sein sollte, wie es gestern war, kann ich einen Besuch des Technikmuseums nur empfehlen. Nicht nur einen Besuch der Haupthäuser, sonden auch der Gebäude in der Ladestraße ;-) .
Ich wünsche Euch einen sonnigen Ostermontag und eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde ;-)
Macro photograph of a vintage push in tin opener chomping a modern pull top tin can, the vintage tin opener is a Squire and Sons make, the Squire dislikes modern designs and recons this type will never catch on, and he want's it off his land!!!!
Just a little humour!
It was hard to open a tin can years ago, dangerous and awkward with those old push in tin openers.
Now it's so easy to open a tin can, just pull back the ring and pull up nice, easy and safe too, much better I believe.
Happy Macro Mondays .... Everyone ... Happy Easter too!!
Together again.

The Voigtländer roots were founded in Vienna in 1756, by Johann Christoph Voigtländer. Voigtländer produced mathematical instruments, precision mechanical products, optical instruments, including optical measuring instruments and opera glasses, and is the oldest name in cameras. (Wikipedia)
This camera was released round 1911.

Rabattmarken sind ein Zeugnis vergangener Zeiten. Ich kann mich dunkel dran erinnern, daß zuhause von verschiedensten Läden Rabattheftchen und die zugehörigen Marken in einer Schublade gesammelt wurden. Es war immer toll, wenn ich mal einen ganzen Streifen anlecken und einkleben durfte. Rabattmarken verschwanden ebenso wie Tante Emma Läden in den 70ern.
Trading Stamps
These stamps from Edeka Kiel were valid until 31st March 1963. Trading stamps and the accompanying booklets vanished during the seventies.
