“Once you have missed the first buttonhole
you'll never manage to button up.”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~
. . . unless, of course . . . you just unbutton the missed button and start again?
What goes around a button?
. . . a goat!
When I was looking for things beginning with B recently, somehow I seemed to keep finding buttons. :)
This is another one from the 'Gay Nineties'. It's made of celluloid and metal and dates from around 1890-1910. The 'leg' next to it belongs to a Noritake trinket pot from the 1910s and the postcard on the base is from the same era. The pink flowers are fake and were horribly squashed in the post because they hadn't been packed properly. The seller gave me a full refund, so I don't hate the flowers quite as much as I did. :)
A macro view of a decorative metal button. The frame measures one-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The button was placed on top of a piece of elevated plate glass and illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight, the blue and green LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, and natural window light before being converted to monochrome.
The SB900 was positioned 80° CL and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through a gridded snoot, with a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The Coast TX10 was placed underneath the subject and shown through the plate glass. Soft window light 90° CR was used for fill.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
(Note: Sometimes I convert very colorful images to monochrome because of the contrast control the vibrant color tones allow; that was the choice I made in this case).
Welcome any comments or helpful suggestions. Thanks to all that fave my photo. If interested in using image pleae contact me thru flicker.
Everyone have a fantastic day!
...a Xmas button!

Here's another from last weeks stormy visit to White Pocket. Absolutely amazing place! I have got to go back when there is some decent light. The sun never came out.
This is actually the first time I have ever managed to successfully shoot a lightning strike during daylight. I got a lightning trigger last year that is supposed to trigger your shutter when lightning strikes. It is a useless piece of crap. I did not use it for this. Instead I went with the fairly primitive technique of frantically pressing the shutter button repeatedly every time I saw a flash. Got one!
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.

I'm afraid I'm not feeling hugely inspired at the moment, so here's another button from my collection. It dates from the late 19th Century and it's quite large at 1½" across. The button is leaning against a (barely visible) vintage Sylko cotton reel and I added in a few of my trusty Hydrangea flowers for good measure.
I had hoped to photograph a tube station today but rain that has persisted all day put an end to that - did not feel like getting wet! So it is another button shot for today.

Leatherface is a fictional character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series created by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper. He first appeared in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) as a cannibalistic and mentally unstable mass murderer who, alongside his family, kidnapped, murdered, and subsequently cooked unsuspecting travellers. The character's name comes from the skin masks he is always seen wearing, which hide his deformed face and are made from his victims' faces.
