A backlit macro view of a carved wood button, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Button." The frame represents a span of 1½ - inches across.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene is a 25-image focus stack composite. The button was leaned up against a square piece of crystal, which was illuminated from underneath by the green and blue LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight. The front of the button was illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight with its wide panel deployed and a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The flash was placed camera left, slightly above camera level, and two-feet away from the subject. The speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through a gridded snoot.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm extension tube attached.

I am blessed. My house back onto natural bush land. So today in he misty rain I venture down the back to see what is around and I spot this fellow. Not sure of what it was but was able to sneak up to within 5m and get a few shots off. My first time sighting and photographing one of these.

According to Wiki: Button Gwinnett (/ɡwɪˈnɛt/ gwin-ET; March 3, 1735 – May 19, 1777) was a British-born American Founding Father who, as a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, was one of the signers (first signature on the left) of the United States Declaration of Independence.[1] Gwinnett was also, briefly, the provisional president of Georgia in 1777, and Gwinnett County (now a major suburb of metropolitan Atlanta) was named for him. He was named in honor of his mother’s cousin, Barbara Button, who became his godmother.[2][3] Gwinnett was killed in a duel by rival Lachlan McIntosh following a dispute after a failed invasion of East Florida.
I have seen and photographed many “Button Bucks” over the years, always wishing them a long and healthy life. Here is my first and only “Button Bull” Moose. This young man was the first moose spotted on our Alaskan adventure and was gracious enough to allow us a roadside photo session for as long as we would like. My wish fro him is the same. Taken just south of Palmer Alaska.
Adventure before dementia.
As a child my wife and her sister had few toys. They played games they made up and used the buttons in her Mother's sewing box for game pieces. My wife's sister has the sewing box and made this display from a picture frame and a pile of those buttons. Thank you to anyone that stops by to view, like and comment. HMM!
Their chicks are the size of a quarter, and beyond cute!
I had to sit quietly for a while with my 100mm birding lens
to capture this guy :)
Smile on Saturday theme: “BEHOLD THE BUTTON”
😊 Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Also on the button you can sometimes find some numbers ;)
Looking close... on Friday! - theme: "Numbers" :)
This button is pretty large at 1½" wide. It dates from the 1900s and it's made of pierced brass and celluloid. The thimble in the background is French and made of silver with a thin band of brass around it. Both the thimble and the china are from the 1910s. Even the single fabric flower is over 100 years old.
Come to think of it, I haven't heard anyone say 'Bold as brass' for a long time, but it's a description my mother used to use. It means 'shameless or audacious'. I'm not sure this button deserves the description, but it just popped into my head. By the way, does anyone else struggle with subject lines? I could just say 'Yes, it's yet another button. So?', but I'll keep trying. :)

This button is a material covered button on a very colourful African outfit I was gifted.
This was actually a see-through button turned blue by light on the background. Next week I promise to find a different color!

All different, from one plant but from one rose to another too.
Doin' my best to keep them alive. Captured while gardening, sun stil high looking down on my shoulders.
These are tiny Kermit Green Button Pom Flowers from a very special bouquet given to me by dear friends at the loss of my brother.
My brother, got me my first job. I was going to be starting my freshman year at UC Davis as a computer engineering major and he knew a supervisor at the company, Radio Shack. He persuaded his friend to hire me in the quality control department. This is something my husband and I still laugh about because of my incessant need and love for details.
Later, after I had switched colleges to the Santa Cruz Bay area, my brother found me another job. He hired me to work at the Video store he was managing. It was great working with him, and I appreciated his confidence in me. Unfortunately, it was a short stint there due to two incidents. I grew up pretty sheltered and when some ladies came in looking for Chippendale videos, I took them over to the Disney section and showed them those rascally chipmunks. They laughed and thought I was joking. I was not.
The other incident that sealed my fate and convinced me that it was a wise move getting out of computer engineering was the morning after I had worked the closing shift. My brother arrived at the store to find a completely crashed computer system. It cost him hours and hours of work re-entering data and I’m sure there was also some embarrassment with the owner of the store since it was his sister who was responsible. He never yelled at me or fired me.
Through those college years his home was always open to me and I will never forget his generosity. He had a smile that could light up any room and it will be greatly missed.

I got pretty close to this guy before he realized I was there and took off into the field.

Five deer were in our backyard, next to the back porch, feasting on acorns. I took several photos of the group, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos on the computer that I noticed that least two of the deer are button bucks. This one was closest to the house and his buttons are easy to see. The "buttons" are the bumps or knobs on the forehead, where the antlers are beginning to grow. It will be fun watching these youngsters grow up into handsome adults. Backyard wildlife.
