Handheld Shot with Sony Nex-7 and Trioplan 2.8/100 neo. It is quite a Challenge to focus on the "Link" in the Middle of the Picture when having no Tripod available. The small reflections made it interesting for me. Have Fun and zoom in, please!!!!
just because
Ooooh, it works for the looking close on Friday theme of “festive lighting” - up close!!
... sunken in extreme bokeh ... taken with a Zenit Helios lens
Germany. Macro of optical fibers. Inside Illumination with bright white light. The cylindrical fibers seam to be constricted due to extreme bokeh. Sony A7II (ILCE-7M2) with e-mount adapted multicoated (MC) lens Helios 44M-4 58/2. Sony full-frame in body image stabilization ON. ISO 400. f/2. 1/60s. Wide-open shot. Manual mode.
If you are interested in an image with this camera/lens combination ... here it is --> Sony A7II - ZENIT MC HELIOS-44M4 58mm1:2 . Additional equipment used for this image of the optical fibers: Teleconverter C-AF 2x Teleplus MC7 and a focussing helicoid.
Feel free to visit my albums. All my old lenses can be found there.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #35 "Fibre", broccoli is a nutritious vegetable very high in fiber (or fibre, as it is spelled elsewhere).
The fiber holding this Burn Weed seedpod is so thin that at first glance it looks as if nothing is there. If you look very closely you may be able to just barely make out the hidden fiber. The fiber is obvious in the center right the and lower left of the picture.

Our Daily Challenge: MULTICOLOR
This cloth is orange, coppery, blue and there are thin stripes of red and yellow. So it very well fits the theme multicolor.
Methinks I need to remember how I did this ICM with my iPhone camera— maybe write it down this time!!
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.
Silk is produced by several insects, like silk worms but generally only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There has been some research into other types of silk, which differ at the molecular level. Silk is mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, but some insects such as webspinners and raspy crickets produce silk throughout their lives. Silk production also occurs in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), silverfish, mayflies, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies, and midges. Other types of arthropod produce silk, most notably various arachnids such as spiders.
Come see a new, provocative work on view at #fullercraft —
The Unraveling by local fiber artist Adrienne Sloane. Sloane’s hand-knit flag partially obscures a copy of the U.S. Constitution printed on silk. The artist has begun to unravel the flag, leaving piles of loose yarn on the plinth underneath, partially revealing the historic document. Sloane will return periodically to further unravel the flag until May 20, 2018.
