"Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
~Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers"

Hey! I've discovered how to take really close-up macro thermal shots with the Therm_App camera. The first close-range shots I did (the memory stick, which is also on my Photostream) were just done by screwing the 19mm lens out of the camera until it nearly fell out - that gave me a working distance of about six inches for a reasonable closeup. But I've now found how I can get really close and obtain a reasonable depth of focus, as shown in this test shot of my watch winder. It just takes two lenses, back to back, in much the same way you can do macro photography with 35mm cameras.

For such a small item, there are a lot of elements in the setup and a looks a bit of a mess, I hope this description and the notes on the photo will make some sense of it.
I will start with the base the subject is sat on. The black at the bottom is a couple of pieces of foam rubber approx 50mm/2 inches thick, just to raise the subject off my low coffee table and to bring it closer to the flash which is on a mini tripod (out of sight here). On top of the black foam, is a 12mm/1/2 inch thick sheet of expanded polystyrene, topped with a sheet of paper from my printer. The coin is then attached to the top of a clear push/map pin, the spike of which is pushed through the paper into the polystyrene. This allows the base to be moved around to get the positioning right under the camera lense.
The camera is mounted as close to vertical as possible on my cheap, or should that be bargain, Hama tripod with the central column almost fully extended. This allows it to be wound up and down to adjust the focus between lense and subject.
The camera lense is fitted with two close-up lenses fitted together, a +2 and +10 doptre to give +12.. Also worth noting is the collapseable rubber lense hood, which shields the lenses from the flash, no daisy hood here, they are rubbish for tabletop work, make nice plant pot holders though:)
Where was I, Oh yeah, opposite the camera is a tracing paper diffusion panel, partially hidden by the desk lamp used to illuminate the area for focussing. The flash, a Neewer SF-1 mini slave flash is sat behind the diffusion panel, mounted on a mini tripod and radio trigger.
To the left and right of the subject are white card reflectors to bounce light back onto the subject, a third which fitted between the stem of the tripod and the camera lense has been removed to take this shot.
I think that wraps it up, take no notice of the shutter release, it wasnt plugged in for this shot, it just seem to spend it's life hanging on my tripod :)

Catchy idea, huh? Having worked an entire career in the System Safety field I cannot help but notice things that are wrong, especially if they can contribute to injury or property damage.
While on a meetup with the Flickr Club San Antonio Saturday, I saw this cable connected with clamps. I mentioned to Mark (Copasetic on Flickr) what the problem was and why. He suggested I photo it and post. So, here it is.
The title above is a catchy phrase that helps one remember how to attach clamps to wirerope. There are 3 parts to the clamp: the nuts, the U-bolt, and the saddle. The "live" part of the rope is that part that leads to the load. The "dead" part is just the end and supports nothing. This one is incorrectly attached. If you put much load on this rope, the gripping part (the U-bolt) is on the live wire. The dead end will then just slip through the clamp as if it were a slip-knot; thereby, releasing the load. In this case, though, there was a minimal amount of "load." Otherwise, I would have brought it to the attention of the manager in charge of this facility.
A point of interest (to me at least) is that I have done that many times and I can promise you that every manager I have ever brought problems to their attention has responded VERY Negatively! So, I seldom mention things unless it would result in injury. If it will just result in damage to property or equipment, I let it go and it can become a learning experience for the business, unless I am being paid to do so.
As a side note, notice the end of the cable apparently has been severed by a cutting torch. That could be a signal that other parts of the wire-rope has been heated which can alter the tensile strength of the rope, causing weak segments.
Wow, this description is way more than anyone wants to know. LOL
The challenge was to photograph my own eyes. The difficulty with focus was helped with a magnifying glass
