Bit of macro Monday for me today.

 

I found this magnificent PCB at work a while back, freed from an old server destined for the scrapheap in the ground.

 

I seated my tilt adapter on the macro rings with the Helios 44-2 on that.

 

I love how the tilt adapter mixed with a macro setup and colour choice make this look like an industrial scene in the depths of winter. The small chips look like cars lined up in a carpark and the covering of dust simulates a harsh frost beautifully.

Catch you tomorrow.

It's macro time, some screwdriver bits....

Bit of play in the studio and then with photoshop.

A Lee Valley annual delight , the Bittern , but a little different .

Bit of a sombre tone today, not well and really not enjoying being stuck at home for the next 7 days but at least I have company unlike this little guy.

Day 23 October 2026 - a Month in 31 Photos

Bit desperate for a shot today again, Storm Austen has made it very wet here today, plus time was limited as Oldmangellyroo had an appointment at the hospital this morning. Fortunately there was a brief lull, so bravely I shot out into the garden, got on my knees and fired off a few quick shots, muddying said knees in the process - I don't stay clean for long!

Bit inline I will admit but here is 55 D9009 shortly after leaving Rothley with the 1250 Loughborough - Leicester North 14/8/22. (Taken using a pole)

A bit of info for those who may be interested:

 

Order: Opiliones

 

"Opiliones are known for their exceptionally long legs relative to their body size; however some species are short-legged. As in the Araneae, the body in the Opiliones has two tagmata, the anterior cephalothorax or prosoma, and the posterior ten-segmented abdomen or opisthosoma. The most obvious difference between harvestmen and spiders is that in harvestmen the connection between the cephalothorax and abdomen is broad, so that the body appears to be a single oval structure. Other differences are that Opiliones have no venom glands in their chelicerae. They also have no silk glands and therefore they do not build webs. In some highly derived species the first five abdominal segments are fused into a dorsal shield called the scutum, which in most such species is fused with the carapace. Some such Opiliones only have this shield in the males. In some species the two posterior abdominal segments are reduced. Some of them divided medially on the surface to form two plates beside each other. The second pair of legs are longer than the others and they function as antennae or feelers. In short-legged species this may not be obvious." Wiki

  

A bit of brightness on a grey and windy day.

 

I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...

 

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?

Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

  

With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

A bit of a playful moment just waiting for something to happen, thought why not!

 

Looking over the top of my Nikon 200-500 telephoto lens. Every morning is different, you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes nothing, so you just enjoy the peace and quiet.

Went for a wander in Abbeyford Woods with my friend Fran (who managed to get us lost ... which was rather amusing) ... the light wasn't great and avoiding copious amounts of dog poop meant I didn't get a great deal of interesting images ... but I love this one :D

Think I used the Takumar 55mm ... but to be honest I forget :D

Getting a bit of later start than usual, the Night Gas gets underway westbound as afternoon thunderstorms build over the mountains around Missoula. Wish I'd put on a bit heavier of a lens to bring in the mountains a bit more, but given how the first 8 days of the trip had gone anything by this point was just bonus materials.

A bit of luck and good timing as Union Pacific's MWCNP 03 (West Colton, California - North Platte, Nebraska) manifest and ARONSR 04 (Roper, Utah - NS Kansas City, Kansas) repo auto train pull side by side into North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 4, 2016.

 

UP 6781 has been routed along Main Track 3, the former Rio Grande main line to Ogden, Utah.

Bit of a maze!

This is the view of the top floor of the structure next to Wind Tree in the Winyard Quarter on Auckland's waterfront.

 

It is a strange structure but certainly has some nice lines. I watched the Matariki lights on the bridge from up here. I totally expected there to be lots of people, I was mistaken.

A bit of history about Mission Beach, San Diego: As a result of a new official subdivision in 1914, encouraged by land sales in those next-door communities and a new wooden bridge linking Mission Beach with Ocean Beach, John D. Spreckels offered small lots for sale.As a result, Mission Beach is the most densely developed residential community in San Diego with a land use designation across the majority of its land area of 36 dwelling units per acre. It also has the smallest lots in the city, ranging from 1,250 square feet to 2,400 square feet.

After returning from Poland and Germany, I had a week at home before setting off for the East Coast with my kids to visit our very good friends in Loudoun County, Virginia. We went a bit later in the Summer this year, which meant that the mall in DC was free of all of the crazy fencing that is usually up for the Forth of July. I kept an eye on the weather while I was out there and ended up making about four trips in to DC at 4:15 AM in order to try to get some color in the sky. This particular shot was taken on my second attempt at the World War II Memorial as the sky in the East lit up behind the Washington Monument. On my previous trips to the Mall, this hadn't been an option due to the barricades.

 

As the sky lit up, I tried the Rokinon 12mm fisheye and found that I was able to pull in the Pacific and Atlantic arches on either side. There are so many incredible places to shoot around the Mall area in DC, but the World War II Memorial is now my favorite spot after my last trip, edging out the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Having just come back from Auschwitz in Poland and after watching Band of Brothers on HBO after returning, it really is sobering to walk along the perimeter of this memorial which was long overdue to honor those who gave their lives on their way to becoming America's greatest generation.

 

This tends to be a spot that is generally overlooked by photographers as there was only one other photographer nearby as I was shooting. I shot the Lincoln Memorial on my way back to the car, and found it to be swarming with visitors. I would highly recommend adding the World War II to your list on your next visit to DC.

A bit of monsoonal rain on the north coast of Trinidad island, Maracas Bay lookout, nothing spectacular, but this will be my only upload from that island as photo opportunities were very rare. It's also as close as my ass will ever get to Venezuela!

Macro Mondays Three

A bit more Photoshop pattern play, the colour palette determined by the music that was playing at the time, which happened to be a live version of the old Pink Floyd tune "Green Is The Colour" by Nick Mason’s band Saucerful of Secrets.

 

Nick Mason was the drummer for Pink Floyd of course, and it’s great to see him still playing and touring at nearly 78 years of age. Other members of Saucerful of Secrets you may know are long time Floyd tour band member and bassist Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp vocalist and guitarist from Spandau Ballet.

 

Saucerful of Secrets was formed to breath new life into a lot of the older Floyd tunes and it really is worth a watch - excellent stuff if you’re a Floyd fan, and worth a try even if you’re not.

 

"Green Is The Colour" was the fifth track on Pink Floyd's 1969 album More. It was composed and written by Roger Waters and the original sung by David Gilmour.

 

Here’s "Green is the Colour" live at The Roundhouse in London.
