#MacroMondays
#Lines
This is "something" on an old motherboard. There are many things with "Lines" on a motherboard, so it was one of my first ideas. Since the motherboard photos also turned out best, I thought I'd stick with that subject. But please don't ask me what this "something" once did. I can identify a few things on a motherboard, but this...
Photographing with the Laowa 2x macro lens allowed me to get nicely close to my subject. I wanted an abstract look, and getting extra close helped. I have an even more abstract photo of this "something", with an equally lined background from a cardboard box, but I thought it was a tad too abstract (with even more bokeh) to work for the theme, so this is it.
Illumination-wise, I went all in and used almost every single lamp on my photo table. The two standard LEDs (the left lamp also equipped with the translucent red chocolate box lid) for a golden hue on the metal (aluminium, I'd say), the flat natural-light photo lamp from above, my new "pro LED", set to green, placed slightly behind the scene, and my small pocket flashlight (white light only), set on "spot" and handheld from the side. With that much coloured light, it's at least only a single shot, because I can't focus stack with the Laowa ;)
HMM, Everyone!
Just an odd sky display on my way to Meaher Park last week...it was huge and dominated the sky...I just felt compelled to pull over for a shot!
This is the hardware side of the NAS solution I was putting together before I came down with COVID. Will have that working shortly. This little computer compared with my very first PC here.
Shot with Sony 24-105mm f/2.8 macro lens on Sony a7r iii.

I think I got this Petri around December 2017; thought it looked really cool. Running a roll through it now, maybe its third roll in the 8+ years I've had it, so it's finally having a turn again.
This began as a rather drab capture an hour or two before it rained in Jerusalem. In these parts, rain is a blessing! Some light texture was applied to the image.
The location is the UN tower hill overlooking the Old City. And yes, October is sliding towards November. Have a great day, one and all.

We use this machine at our research center to train deep neural networks and for other compute-intensive tasks.
I made this picture for the Inria contest on "Computing: past, present, and future". The abacus is, to me, the birth of computing.
I borrowed a camera with a very fast lens, and went to the server room of our research center, where I played finding a spot for the abacus in the middle of the computing equipment. A large numerical aperture gave me a short depth of field, turning the lights in a nice bokeh.
I did fairly little post-processing, using darktable as always. I used a local contrast filter on the abacus itself, and pushed the colors in the top right of the photo toward green.
