Happy Macro Monday and Happy New Year to all!

For this week's theme I used a small (2" x 2" x 2") glass pyramid mounted on top of a piece of black perspex (plexiglass) illuminated only with natural window light. A focus stack of 15 images processed in the magnificent Helicon Focus using Option C. Significant dust-spot removal (from the plexiglass) in Photoshop. Black and white conversion in Silver Efex Pro. Sharpening and other small, global tweaks in Lightroom.

Panels that will allow light to shine out of my favorite sculpture in town “Space Whale”. If you care to see a photo of the entire sculpture, I made a post 2 years ago, or you could look in my camera roll on December 4, 2019. This sculpture is interesting as a whole or as smaller parts of the whole.

Taken while on a work lunch break in Croydon. Only had my mobile with me when I took this. Shot in manual pro mode but I'd inadvertently turned the RAW setting off so the image isn't as crisp as I would've liked.

Lots of shapes to be seen here, from the shapes created by the building support struts, the paving slabs of the pavement, tiles on the under croft and the windows on the buildings in the distance. The more you look the more shapes you see.

This is the under croft of the Pinnacle Apartments building in Croydon South London.

Color My World Daily: Black & White Day on Sunday

I wanted to do something a bit different for this week's Crazy Tuesday challenge: Geometry. While looking in the pantry I realized that groceries come in a plethora of geometric shapes, so here are some for your amusement.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

A dynamic composition features bold geometric shapes and vivid colours, with two silhouetted figures strategically positioned near the contrasting orange and red spheres. The dark blue background enhances the sense of depth and intrigue, creating a captivating visual.

I was drawn to the elegant simplicity of the Sémaphore de Mésange rising into this dreamy pastel sky. There's something deeply calming about this maritime sentinel standing alone against the soft gradient of colors that painted the evening horizon.

I chose a minimalist approach to capture the essence of this coastal landmark - isolating the semaphore tower against the vast expanse of sky to emphasize its solitary role as a guardian of navigation. The clean lines of the white tower contrasted beautifully with the geometric glass structure at its summit, creating a composition that feels both functional and sculptural.

What captivated me most was this incredible palette of soft blues melting into warm peach tones - the kind of light that only happens during those magical moments when day transitions to evening. The absence of visual clutter allowed the tower's architectural character to shine while creating a sense of peaceful contemplation.

My intention was to show how these utilitarian structures can become objects of beauty when isolated and framed by nature's own artistry. This semaphore has guided countless vessels safely to harbor, and I wanted to capture that quiet dignity and timeless purpose.

this image captures the moment when color, form, and light merge, as if the red ceramic vases have just dipped into a bath of liquid hues. the gloss on their surfaces reflects the light in a soft, harmonious dance, while the blurred backgrounds emphasize depth and abstraction. it's a play between reality and illusion, where the eye doesn't settle on solid objects but instead explores colors and shapes that flow and reflect, almost like a dream. the rounded forms and warm tones create a quiet power, making the image both touching and abstract at once.

When I saw the title geometric shapes, there was only one place I had to photograph. The discs on Selfridges Birmingham department store have been replaced and the different geometric patterns look good in the sunlight. Each camera position reveals a new arrangement of the discs.

This is an image of the erosion effects you find in karst limestone pavements, affectionately known as clints and grykes…

Or is it? Whenever I look at this image, it fools me into thinking that is what it is. But it’s Sliders Sunday so I need to be wary. And so, I suggest, do you. Would I ever mislead you? Never! … much.

This is, in fact, an intentional camera movement picture I took on Boxing Day last year. It’s the silhouette of a leafless tree taken on a walk in a country lane near where I live. I’ll post a link to the in-camera original in the first comment so you can see what I mean.

I duplicated the near-monochrome image, which already reminded me of cracks in a rock, flipped one of the copies and then blended them with Darken blend mode to preserve the silhouette. That gave it a pleasing symmetry which always appeals to me. The rest was just tweaking, with a Lighting filter layer to add texture (the spotlight is set in the upper right) and a light vignette.

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
