Sandafell is like a ship’s prow cutting through the mist, except the mist moves rather than the mountain
I really liked the colors and shallow dof with this choice. I used my 50 mm lens with a photo aperture control as an extender..on my Nikon d7100 post processing LR.
A study of the nail clipper. A humble but effective and classic engineering design.

Notice the many golf-ball sized divots in the body of this elephant seal. These were caused by the terrifying cookie-cutter shark, the existence of which I would have preferred to remain ignorant. Elephant seal mother and nursing pup, Piedras Blancas, California.
This male Leaf Cutter Bee (Megachile sp) was only in my Lavender for a few days, so I tried to get a lot of different compositions.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the fill for this shot), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
Blade to clean the ceramic glass cooktop. The handle suffered a bit due to the heat from the hotplate.
Here's the famous "Eaf" cutter bee sealing her egg in a bamboo stem.
Hopefully this pupae will hatch next year to start the cycle all over again. (That rhymes !)
I found this Leaf Cutter Bee early in the morning, covered in pollen, and the dew had slowed its metabolism down. While photographing it the critter woke up and started "chattering" -rapidly opening and closing its mandibles. It looks intimidating, but it's not trying to bite but simply trying to get its blood pumping. Kinda like when we get cold and shiver.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 4x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
I found this tiny leaf-cutter bee on my yellow butterfly weed. It let me get very close for this shot.

An early morning out at the lake and I found this fellow perched nicely for me to play around with macro.
320 second, ISO 400, F:16. 50mm lens with Raynox 250 + 20mm extension tube. Nikon D7100 camera. On camera flash going through a Gary Fong diffuser.
Fincastle, Alberta, Canada.
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Cutter'. Week 10/2020.
This is a set of pastry cutters. The largest is 4 inches so this is just a part of it.
It's lit with a couple of LED lights. I've cropped it to 16x9 but otherwise it's straight out of the camera.
This may be an unlikely choice for the subject Cutter but it does qualify.
It is the "Cutting Edge" of the blade of our lawn mower. It has hit more than a small number of stones over the years and has already been resharpened a couple of times.
Cutter for Macro Mondays
So yesterday was my 22nd birthday, and MachineGames must've known since they gifted me 2+ hours of gameplay footage for Wolfenstein 2. I watched, I got ideas. As usual. One thing in that gameplay was a new weapon. A massive, hip-fired laser that honestly seemed a bit OP. But whatever. It gave me the idea of a futuristic construction tool. A semi-portable laser cutter for construction sites and industrial work. Is it practical? Probably not especially with that bigass battery. Is it cool? Damn right it is. Big lasers are always cool.
I decided to start today earning some 'Brownie points' as I call them, for when I want to get away with something. That something happens to be a nine day trip to Iceland leaving my wife at home. So on my list this morning amongst other things were, clean the cooker, walk the dog, wash the kitchen and utility floor and hoover up around the place.
Despite being easily distracted, and finding my way to do other more pleasant jobs for myself that weren't on my wife's list, I found myself in the front hallway with a 'need to tidy up' mentality. My daughter had left some of her junk and gone off to Florida and I was just tidying her stuff up when I noticed a small object on the carpet which I was going to hoover as soon as I stopped being distracted.
Bending down to pick it up I raised the curious object to my eyes and was pretty amazed to see that the tiny things were actually a pair of scissors. And that is them balanced on the end of my finger. They are that small!
Well, one of the things on my mind was "Macro Mondays" theme of "Cutter". Until that moment I was going to do something with some large serrated kitchen scissors but suddenly....!!!! Well they must have dropped out of my daughter's dolls house stuff. Rarely have I been more pleased to be told to do some domestic chores, when this was the prize!
Right! Back to the house work. Need alot more points.
(PS. The scissors are 15mm long)
Turf cutter, Ireland (watercolour). For centuries, peat (turf) has been used as fuel to heat home in Ireland. The country is now abandoning this practice because of habit destruction and CO2 emmissions.
The 1906 steam launch Puffin is a regular at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. The diesel powered yacht is the 1929 Stephens Brothers 43 ft. pilot-house cruiser Seven Bells. The black-hull gaff-rig is a Bristol Channel Cutter. The other four wooden sailboats are out enjoying some brisk wind with interesting clouds.
