My Macro Monday "Dutch Angle" outtake, the furry autumn leaf of unknown ID. I didn't choose it for MMs because while I clearly photographed it at a Dutch angle as one can see from the stem, the leaf's shape somehow "evened" the tilt out again which somehow defeated the theme's purpose for me.
The leaf is almost 4 cm wide, wide enough to comfortably place my small LED flashlight behind it so it would nicely illuminate the dense covering with trichomes without being visible in the photo. In-camera focus stacking already looked nice but stacking the 15 ORFs in Helicon Focus (method A, R7, S3) looked better because it yielded a crispier, more detailed image.
If somebody happens to know the ID of this fairly succulent, furry little leaf, please let me know.
Happy Wednesday Macro, Everyone!
Anyone who has ever seen a glassblower at work can only respect his or her craftsmanship. It is a spectacular process to see shape and color given to hot (very very hot) liquid glass. Glassblowing requires fire, skill, muscle power, creativity and years of experience, but then a true work of art is created!
In this photo the glassblower heatens and softens the glass locally so that it can be given the desired shape.
This photo was taken in the glassworks in Leerdam, City of Glass.

Funny, it doesn't look level, but the bubble says it is... ;-)
Macro Mondays: "Dutch Angle" theme, and Our Daily Challenge: "The Color Blue"
I used a string of Christmas lights to get the colors shining through the scratched plastic window on my old, well-worn bubble level.

Candid eye contact street photography from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. A brief sliver of sunlight breaks through the gloom in time for this array of primary colours - I just loved the shot. Enjoy!
This shot is from 2018 so this place may not still be there. This is sometimes on the way to the Aberfoyle Flea market depending on the route. Morriston is just off the 401 on old highway 6 to Hamilton.
Happy Window Wednesday
I had done a Cut & Paste a few years ago of my dogs in this hallway. I edited it to increase the angle to a Dutch Angle as the theme for this week’s Smile on Saturday!
Happy Smile on Saturday! 😀

I put out extra birdseed this morning. We are in for a few really cold days ahead so I thought the little critters could use some extra food. This little guy was quite far from my kitchen window.

A classic: I took a few first shots, thought "This is nice, maybe I should take a look at the images first," and then simply continued taking photos with differently coloured smiley beads, from different angles (and yes, that short, golden-glittery ribbon was hard to handle because it kept twisting) – of course without taking a look first. And then I ended up using one of the first photos anyway. Duh. Actually, the very first set of (focus-stacked) photos was that of an autumn leaf. It turned out very nice, and I will also upload it this week because it's too nice not to. I will explain on Wednesday why I didn't pick it for our "Dutch Angle" theme.
Back to the smiley: The golden-glittery ribbon that once belonged to a small present bag originally was one part of my second idea for last Monday's "Cogwheel". Just for fun, I had placed the plastic cogs on the ribbon and I liked the bokeh the quite roughly woven fabric created. But it somehow didn't make much sense to put cogs on a glitter ribbon except that it looked nice, and since the theme's focus was on the cogs, not on bokeh, I discarded the idea for later. And "later" already happened to be yesterday. So does it make sense to put a smiley bead on a golden ribbon? No, but it looks nice.
For the smiley photo, I used the Laowa Ultra Macro lens because it creates such nice bokeh and because I only needed a single shot for this idea anyway. To enhance the bokeh, I used the small gold-coated cardboard cake board that I held above the ribbon (illuminated by a single LED lamp from the right). I also used an LED lamp from the left, set to a lower angle, to illuminate the smiley bead. I had considered backlight (which I had used for the leaf) but it took away contrast from the semi-translucent bead, so I stuck to my two light sources.
Processing: I did the basics in DXO PhotoLab 8 and Lightroom and did some minor enhancements in Color Efex such as "Brilliance and Warmth" and "Detail Extractor" for some parts of the bokeh.
HMM, Everyone!
The #MacroMondays theme for this week is a subject of our choice shot at a Dutch angle. This is one of three clip-on lenses for my little iPhoneSE2. Decided to go simple and obvious— giggling. This is actually under an inch - about 7/8ths of an inch (and not blue)

Before the land was reclaimed in order to build a port, Southampton had a long beach and shoreline. This little patch (bottom left hand corner) is all that remains of the beach, and few notice that even this is there. There are plans to remove the dilapidated pier and renovate the area, and when that happens this little patch of beach will sadly disappear.

A very unusual (for me) MM contribution in quite a few ways, because it is a photo that I have neither taken at home nor specifically for the "dutch angle" theme – this fluffy feather was a chance discovery at last Wednesday's (fabuloutastic, I should add) photowalk at the Olympic stadium; I didn't even think about the theme when I found this pretty feather in a corner of a step of one of the many, many staircases there. And of course this isn't the photo from that walk that I'd planned to upload first, either ;-). But often things don't turn out as expected (something which happens a lot lately when it comes to MMs), and that's not always a bad thing.
This small feather, about 6 cm / 2,3 inches long, came to my rescue when my original idea didn't work out – which every way I tried to make it work (it was a small spoke reflector which I'd once found in the street; the idea was to capture its distorted reflection which made it look like a flowing piece of honeycomb, something that came to my mind because of the reflector's honeycombed structure; well, to make it short, I never managed to get the distorted reflection sharp enough so it would be pleasant to look at; maybe I can still make it work later... I also tried to magnify those honecomb patterns inside of the reflector by using the extension tubes and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens – but, no, it wasn't meant to work).
But back to my "Olympic feather": Most conveniently, I had already taken it at a dutch angle (Mr Freud, can you hear me?). It is a single handheld picture taken with the Ricoh (the GRIII rocks!) which I've sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI, and then further processed it in Nik's HDR Efex Pro – I started with the "En Vogue" preset "Cool Deep" which I'd then still tweaked a little here or there. And because the staircase I'd found this feather on had been in a shadowy corner of the stadium (and the feather in an even more shadowy corner of the step), the DNG outcome was rather dull; to add some much needed light I went into ON1 where I added a "Sunflare" texture filter to the upper left corner of the image; back in LR I added the preset "Soft Fog" and tweaked the luminosity and saturation sliders for a dreamy look.
HMM, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Nicht das, was ich eigentlich für's Thema machen wollte, aber das passiert mir in letzter Zeit häufiger ;-) Meine ursprüngliche Idee war es, die verzerrte Spiegelung eines kleinen Speichenreflektors (ein Straßenfund) auf einer Spiegelfliese zu fotografieren; die Verzerrung ließ den Reflektor wie ein fließendes Stück Honigwabe aussehen, was auch schön mit der wabenartigen Struktur des Reflektors korrespondierte – nur wollte es mir partout nicht gelingen, der Verzerrung zumindest ein wenig Schärfe abzuringen. Ich habe dann versucht, die Wabenstruktur im Innern des Reflektors mithilfe der Zwischenringe und der Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse zu vergrößern, aber auch hier hatten die Endergebnisse zu wenig Schärfe.
Irgendwann, es war schon ziemlich später Abend (wie immer), gab ich frustriert auf. Zum Glück fiel mir dann die flauschige Feder ein, die ich letzte Woche zufällig auf einer der unzähligen Stufen des Olympiastadions entdeckt und aus der Hand mit der GRIII fotografiert hatte. Die Größe (gut 6 cm) passte, den Winkel hatte ich bei der Aufnahme (unbewusst? Freud lässt grüßen, denn vor Ort hatte ich überhaupt nicht an das Dutch-Angle-Thema gedacht) auch schon passend schräg gewählt... Warum also nicht, auch wenn diese Feder nicht das Foto ist, das ich als Erstes vom (außerordentlich schönen) Fotowalk dort hochladen wollte. Ich habe das Bild dann in Topaz Sharpen AI nachgeschärft (Modus "Stabilize") und in HDR Efex ausgehend von der Voreinstellung "En Vogue: Cool Deep" bearbeitet. Was dann noch fehlte, war etwas mehr Licht bzw. Leuchten, denn die Feder hatte auf einer der Treppen auf der Schattenseite des Olympiastadions gelegen und das DNG war recht flau und trüb. Also habe ich in ON1 noch eine "Sunflare"-Textur drübergelegt und in LR die Weißtöne aufgehellt und als Abschluss noch die Voreinstellung "Weicher Nebel" (mit zusätzlichen Veränderungen meinerseits bei der Struktur, Luminanz und Sättigung) für ein weicheres, verträumtes Aussehen verwendet.
Manchmal kommt es eben anders, als man denkt, aber das muss ja nichts Schlechtes sein ;-) Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to my Flickr friends across the pond. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking.

This plant reminds me of my childhood, when we played hide and seek and hid between its leaves and the fence. I love it, it blooms profusely and because it doesn't require much care, it always grows next to the fence or posts in the same place where I threw the seeds thirty years ago.
HMM!
I found this poppy seedpod skeletall in the garden and I knew it would make a nice photo.
I kept the tiny bottle in the photo so the angle shows clearly.
I love it's tiny hat :)
This is about 2 cm wide.
Happy Macro Monday.
