A row of Omega-3 dietary suppliments and their reflection, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "iSpy." The frame spans 1¾ -inches across.
I used to take these suppliments, but the latest studies suggest there is no health benefit to doing so; I now just photograph them.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned 90° CL/CR, one-foot above and two-feet away from the subject. They were fired in Manual mode @ ¼ power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The red LED of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight was shown CL at camera level and exposed for 1s for highlights.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X triggeres.

Taken for 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Remedy'.
Simply a Mega EPA capsule containing among other items 'fish oil'. Taken every day in the hope of retarding the onset of arthritis !
I can imagine they work which is the main reason to continue taking them.
I've given up using my hand-held LED torch and bought a desk lamp instead - it's brighter, stays where I put it, and gives me two hands to do the camera bits!

*The Port of Reykjavík
The oldest documentation of commerce at Hólmurinn on Örfirisey island (now part of Reykjavík Harbour) is from 1521. The people of Reykjavík and its environs were compelled to trade there, on pain of flogging or imprisonment. The trading post was transferred to Reykjavík around 1780, to the area which is now Aðalstræti and Hafnarstræti.
Imports and exports in the middle ages
In medieval times Iceland's major export com-modity was woollen cloth: vaðmál (wadmal or twill), used to make clothing, sails for ships, etc. In the 13th century fish exports began: cod was gutted, de-headed and hung to dry in the sun and wind to make stockfish. Fish-liver oil was also an important export in the middle ages, as well as gyrfalcons (sold as hunting birds) and sulphur. Major imports were grain, wax, linen cloth, and timber and tar for building homes and boats. Iceland had no woods to provide home-grown timber.
Trade monopoly
In the 15th and 16th centuries Icelanders traded extensively with English and German merchants who sailed to Iceland. But from 1602 Danish merchants held a monopoly on the Iceland trade. This was the start of a long period of hardship, when few ships sailed to Iceland, Icelanders were poorly paid for their products, and shortage of goods was common. The monopoly was abolished in 1787, when six trading centres were chartered: Reykjavík, Grundarfjörður, Ísafjörður, Akureyri, Eskifjörður and the Westman Islands.
Industry on Aðalstræti
In 1752 major development began in the area that would become Aðalstræti. New buildings were constructed to house various industrial workshops with the aim of modernising the stagnant Icelandic economy. Known in Danish as De Nye indretninger (the New Enterprises), the companies are best known for their innova-tions in spinning and weaving wool on a large scale, but they also sought to modernise the fisheries and agriculture and establish sulphur-refining, leather-working and rope-making.
In May 1752 two ships arrived in Iceland, laden with timber and tools. The vessels were gifts to the New Enterprises from the king of Denmark and Iceland. They were intended to be the first decked vessels in the Icelandic fishing fleet. Aboard the ships were a large number of foreign craftsmen, as well as Danish and Norwegian farming families, who were to instruct Icelanders in new methods of agriculture and horticulture.

These are huge 1200 mg fish oil pills. I take two a day. They power my brain with eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.

Mackerel (Scomber scombrus), a nice bit of oily fish.
It just brought back memories of catching them back in the early 70's. My mother got me into fishing, not my father and she would come out on the charter boat's with me, even in rough weather.

When the Boat Comes In
In the 14th century fisheries grew rapidly. Ex-port increased as well as domestic demand. Many new seasonal fishing stations were established in Snæfellsnes and the South-West Peninsula.
1. Handline fishhooks from various times. Shark hook (a). Sharks were mainly caught for their liver, as shark-liver oil was a valuable export.
2. Whalebone tongs (b), used while filing down oilskin needles. Whalebone needles (c), lacking the leather strap onto which fish were threaded and suspended over the side of the boat, if the catch was large or the vessel had to be beached in rough seas.
3. Medieval German, Danish and English silver coins.
4. Seal harpoon, lacking its wooden shaft. Seal blubber was melted into oil for domestic use and for export.
5. Whale ribs, used as runners laid under the keel of boats as they were launched or hauled ashore. Each boat had three to eight runners.
6. Stone sinkers for handlines. One of which (d) is from the earliest settlement in Reykjavík.
Fish Exports
Economic Shift
During the 14th century fish was exported to Europe in larger quan-tities than before. Dried cod (stockfish) and fishliver oil became Iceland's major exports.
Iceland has some of the best fishing grounds in the world. They were harvested by Icelanders from the outset, but the export of fish products did not begin in earnest until the 14th century, when demand for fish rose in Europe.
As towns developed in Europe, demand for fishoil used for street lighting increased. With the spread of Christianity demand also grew for fish that could be eaten during fasts.
Fish export led to a growing demand for estates in the West and South West, close to the best fishing grounds. Fishing did not, how-ever, become an independent occupation until many centuries later.
Grab a fish and make sure it's squishy
Give a squeeze and you;ve got some oil that is fishy!
The benifits of fish oil are as long as my arm
True or not... these tablets won't do any harm!
