Macro Monday

Theme: Candy

Size: Less than 3x3 inches

I used mini M&M Smarties

( approx 9mm in diameter ) and some jelly beans in the background.

A small teaspoon with some honey is placed over a chipped Smartie with a drop of honey falling into the chipped area.

You can see this is the second attempt !

Natural side lighting from 3 o'clock and a small LED torch to illuminate the underside of the teaspoon.

Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated.

Thank you for your visit, favourites and comments!

I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Please note that long lists of group invites will be vapourised.

Getting the background in the right spot took patience, it's part of the photo, and many times, the most difficult.

Tricolored Herons are quite common here in Southeast Florida but given their good looks and antics they are rarely taken for granted. Sometimes they fish like Reddish Egrets, throwing out their wings to cause shade from which they can more easily spot their prey. I see this more often in saltwater environments than fresh water. At Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a freshwater habitat where this image was taken, they tend to fish on the fly, catching small minnows by darting their bill underwater as they fly past. Snowy Egrets tend to fish the same way. In this image, the water was dark and the light was primarily landing on the bird, nicely separating it from its background. It gave me a nice low bank with a reflection to boot. (Egretta caerulea) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/4000 second, ISO 640)

Northside of Waterfront Station. The old CPR station was built in 1914 and serves as a multi-purpose transit hub today. In the background is the Harbour Centre, home to one of two revolving restaurants in Vancouver.

This imposing mass of rock that looms above the Laconian coastline is linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway and a 130 metre long bridge, to which the town owes its name (“moni emvasi”which means “only access”).

The rock is 1500 metres long, 600 metres wide at its widest point, and is almost 200 metres high. The top of the rock is flat, forming a sloping plateau surrounded by steep cliffs falling to the sea. There are two fortified settlements, invisible from the mainland – the Lower Town (7,500 square metres) and the Upper Town (120,000 square metres) situated on the plateau at the top of the rock.

My thanks on line tutor Matt Kloskowski for the lesson on creating one's own textures.

Fall Foliage Background

The head of a partly opening Agapanthus flower supporting a slender grass seed stem by our local lake.

Effect is purely from taking the description of the Slider Sunday group seriously and pushing all ten of my basic sliders to the extreme. Five each way! The background of the original image was just pale blue-grey water in the lake.

Happy Slider Sunday!

Happy Monday Blues too!

old bridge down by the mud (mud river) i have taken a lot of pictures from this bridge and now they have blocked it even for walking on. it is wildly warped and probably shouldn't be walked on.

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.
