#MacroMondays #Cutter

Two cookie cutters in reflection (total size shown is ~2 1/2 inches)

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.

Macro Mon. Mar. 8 - Cutter

Cropped closeup.

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 !)

The Lightning Cutter of Viken.

Setting with a stone from the garden and a letter opener 😁

When wine bottles had a cork and foil, this great little tool got plenty of use.

I found this tiny leaf-cutter bee on my yellow butterfly weed. It let me get very close for this shot.

I processed this view in an antique style. I like it as a change of pace.

The cutter undercuts the face so that it slumps down cleanly after the charges are set off.

Note the huge cables feeding this monster with electricity....

A down and dirty image of craft scissors.

An early morning out at the lake and I found this fellow perched nicely for me to play around with macro.

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.

A Megachile Leaf-Cutter Bee rest on a False Sunflower Monday morning.

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.

A more peaceful scene than the name would suggest...

HMM!

A metal cookie cutter seen edge on.

Still raining all day....So been making some mincepies these are the star cutters for the lid.....

Yep, the plasma cutter from Dead Space, nearly finished.

Modified it a bit because of laziness at the grip, which is Duke's.

Please tell me what you think about this! :]

Hey all! Another Indy scene from me (although I did remember, after deciding to do this one, that the Jungle Cutter just made an about 1.5 second appearance in the entire movie - but oh well, LEGO made a set of it, so I hope y'all remember it as well! XD) - and this one's from the Crystal Skull! And yes, I know I've missed a couple movies so far - I'll be trying to correct that soon if I can, :D

Required poem, XP And if you can't figure out the tune (with a few interjections, yes, XP), what are you doing reading the description to an Indy build anyways?? XD Hahaha.

What's adventure's

Life to me?

Naught compared to,

Slicing down this tree!

Though I confess it,

Can possibly,

Be a bit drowsy

And lousy,

And frowsy -

You caught me.

Alright.

I admit it, I was asleep,

When he showed up,

Without a single peep (I was asleep) -

And through the windshield,

He let it leap!

And it blew us,

And flew plus,

Right through us,

Adieu us!

Just view us!

What? What?! What'd'ya mean he's the hero,

And not me!?!?

Proof of size pictures for the DAS.

Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome as always! :)

(And yes, before you ask - I didn't want to cut my flex tubes, hahaha, XP)

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to That who sat on the cloud. "Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come and the harvest of the Earth is ripe." Then That who sat on the cloud swung Its sickle over the Earth and the Earth was reaped.

Macro Mondays - Cutter

I spent a great deal of my time this year in the garden with my camera to hand. I wasn't aware of the variety of insects until I started photographing them.

This bee is a leaf-cutter (Megachile Centuncularis). He had a lovely time collecting nectar from a Bidens ferulifolia.

Made a baby sweater and had to cut the yarn.
