For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!
The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
A vintage powder compact that I found while cleaning my house a long time ago. It was the one my mother used when she was young. It's so fashionable that I asked her to give it to me.
There is still powder inside, but of course it's too old to use. But I still treasure it because I like it so much.
The size of this compact is 5 cm, including the part not shown in the photo.
Shooting in RAW with the Lumix DMC-TZ80 compact camera is especially important in making black and white conversions. It is possible to select a monochrome jpeg option in camera, but I always want to have full control over my conversions. That way you can get a richer tonal range.
Macro Mondays
Theme: Plastic
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
There are 2 kinds of plastic here ....a section of clear sticky tape folded over a few times resting in the middle of a CD ( Compact Disc ). There are 3 light sources, the room down light, at 12 o'clock, an incandescent light at 11 o'clock and a LED torch light beneath the CD. Back ground colours are from a blue cloth and my trusted yellow physio stretch band.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs....it is always appreciated.

Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
A not very nice day outside so indoor jobs mixed with just a touch of playing with cameras.
The control centre of one of my classic film cameras - but can you identify what it may be? (Yes, you can - see comments below!)

There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.

To everyone that has left a comment or has graced the photo by faving it, thank you, thank you, thank you...
An amazingly small compact 35mm film camera - about 9.5cm in length. This example was made in 1973-74 and is in really lovely condition.
Queen Elizabeth II used this same camera, except hers was a gold edition!
I read that these little mechanical marvels have over 520 parts to them!
There is no focus through the viewfinder or lens and focus is achieved by setting a distance on the lens or by zone focusing, something I'm not familiar with so should be interesting!

It's probably not my best, but I think it's good for not doing anything for ~1 week.
