Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!

Magnificent Manipulated Masterpieces
New challenge 172 ~ Chess game
Shot created for Saturday Self Challenge 08/01/2022 ----
Macro capture of a Shiny Object .
A quick caveat - while the Spitfire gets all the glory , we must not forget the under rated Hawker Hurricane which was so successful during the Battle of Britain !!
So to start with a random shot of the sky before it went all to cloud and then to the pop up oven top kitchen studio with a new keyring I have been given ( could have done for "new " last week , so glad I saved it ) . The keyring was bought from the RAF Hendon Museum online store and it is of a Spitfire . The capture of the little Spitfire was done with the Sigma 105 , and for a size comparison see the first comment box -knowing how the 105 makes avery short DOF when up close , Ihad to stop down a fair old way to keep the aeroplane in a sharp view .
I took 8 or 9 shots paying special attention to angles to create a realistic air to air style of capture. Next I put them though the cut out studio in Serif CraftArist - good job I had a selection as the cut out could not define the outline of the aircraft very well in most of them and kept taking chunks out of the plane - sorted with this one and put the two shots together for the flight of the silver spitfire . this now captures the the feeling of being up there and the sky is the limit and you are free as a bird - the pilots of the day often say " You do not get into a Spitfire , you just strap it on !! "
And the Silver Spitfire in 2019 is a story on it's own , please check out the story in the link ---------------

And in this vein of up there in the skies with the Merlin singing it's song , this tune should should be heard on the airwaves !!

I created this image by overlaying a photo I took of a Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire plane, over a field of poppies to remember Armistice Day.
Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. But, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the U.S. First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, ending only at nightfall.
The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days and had to be extended several times. A formal peace agreement was reached only when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year.
Remembrance Day Poppies are a symbol of respect and remembrance of those who died in World War I. This poppy flower meaning came about because the the field poppy, hardy yet delicate, was a common part of the landscape on the Western Front during the Great War. After being heavily bombed and scarred, the land did not lend itself to growing much. In his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields,” Canadian-born John McCrae wrote about this pretty red flower that grew over the graves of those who had given the ultimate sacrifice and that beautified the devastated countryside.
Created for everyday carry (EDC) theme in Macro Monday HMM! :-) Something that you always carry with you when you go out, other than the usual wallet, key, phone.
This metal nail file has been in my pocketbook since the 70s! It has endured many pocketbooks and now I’m thinking I should include it in my will. lol.. It sure is sturdy and still does the most fab job at what it’s made for. Why the paper nail files are popular is beyond me. But I digress.. I took this macro inside my pocketbook as I love polka dots. Hope you enjoy.
Today I have to run out at 9am for almost 2 hours, hopefully less, but will be back then. Looking forward to seeing everyones submissions. edit: I'm back. :-)
Created for the "Shock of the New" Group's challenge, "Urban Blue".
I wanted to create a simpler and more visceral image having mood over concept with this piece. Wet streets at night in big cities catching and reflecting the many sources and colours of light have always had an intoxicating effect on me.
2 Old shots from 2010, when I first started photography. Layered, repeated with inner glow added and drawn over with line and text. Image compiled May, 2017.
No matter how old I get, or the song, in these environments Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary" never fails to play in my head. With that firmly in mind, I've taken a line from "The Wind Cries Mary" and included it in the image and selected part of it from the flow of words to title the image. I hope I do "The Wind Cries... " some justice with this. There isn't another song by the late genius that affects me more deeply.
___________________________________________________
Due to the Hendrix family's extreme copyright and performance restrictions on the late artist's material you cannot find the original version on You Tube to watch or listen to. Some bad bootleg videos are there and 5,000 covers by just about everyone from pro's to bedroom guitarists. Other sources exist for this incredible song but you'll have to pay for it.
As an alternative music track, I've chosen a gorgeous piece by avant garde trumpeter/composer, Jon Hassell. "Amsterdam Blue" from the "Million Dollar Hotel" soundtrack.
