I had a want to do some macro photography. This presented two problems; what to shoot and where to shoot it. As it happened, a busy morning at work gave me the inspiration of what to use, a spent H4 lamp, and then this afternoon the location became apparent, a windowsill providing colour and sunlight from outside.
I don't have a dedicated macro lens so I used my Canon 24-105 L, with the macro setting on the 70D, enabled. This is my first attempt at really trying to photograph a subject on a smaller scale whilst trying to really focus on the detail.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V plus a small light tent illuminated by a pair of halogen lamps of the type commonly found in bathroom or kitchen ceilings.
The old halogen up-lighting on this facade (shown here) was worn and almost irreparable, so this year, the mall replaced the old ground lighting with energy efficient HID lighting attached to the side of the building.
My DH-helmet, the Troy Lee Designs lightweight D2 Carbon. It's made out of carbon composite (surprise...).
Shot against a silverscreen, with two main light sources. Above the subject I used a dimmed halogen (orange on the right). Below the subject there was also a bright led flashlight aimed slightly to the left, away from the subject (blue/white at the left). I used f/8 to make sure the subject was sharp allround. The room was pretty dark, so I had to use a 10 second exposure. To add a detail, there's a small spotlight inside the helmet. It can be seen illuminating the vents on the right of the photo.

ILBAGNOALESSI dOt is a perfectly balanced collection of objects that do not distract attention away from the bathroom’s actual purpose: the cleansing of body and soul. “All the objects are primarily devoted to relaxation“, the Dutch architect and designer, Wiel Arets describes the design principle of the bathroom that, like its soulmate, ILBAGNOALESSI One was created in close cooperation with the Italian design company, Alessi.
Visually linking the stylish washbasins, shower trays and bathtubs, WCs, bidets, furniture and accessories is the signature “dOt“, a circular hollow or cut-out that decorates practically every object in the series – and is, at the same time, a function detail. Washbasins and bathtubs share a minimalist look, with ultra smooth surfaces, their effect akin to that of an architectural object. These surfaces openly invite you to place bathroom accessories on them. "The putting together of the ensemble is based on the individual strengths of the separate parts. Each of them has to fulfil its purpose without being dominant in the process”.
Alessi dOt Halogen light: The circle is the key factor in the design of ceramics, brass ware and furniture elements, the design meets the need to take the utmost advantage of design but with each component contributing to relaxation.
The Alessi dOt bathroom, a new and complete bath room setting, was conceived from the partnership between Alessi and the famous Dutch architect Wiel Arets
The formal style is minimal and repeated throughout the range, first conveying a sense of relaxation and only later its functional intentions, leaving room for thought.
iF design award for Laufen: Swiss bathroom specialist, Laufen Bathrooms demonstrates its innovative spirit: The shower cabins in the ILBAGNOALESSI dOt bathroom collection have won the iF product design award 2009.

Betrothal is an olde-fashioned concept and differs from engagement in that it is more formal. In essence, it is an agreement to be married in a quasi-contractual sense. That is, there is the notion that betrothal is entered into during a state of soberness, rather than a giddy emotional state. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I get it.
I was working for FEMA in Covington, and had been apart from Jamie for months. Sure, we'd seen each other on weekends, but we were definitely feeling the separation. I suppose it was perfectly natural for Jamie to feel worried about my commitment since I had loads of chances to sew my feral oats (my oats weren't exactly wild, since I had been recently divorced). Likewise, I knew Jamie to be a valuable commodity. We didn't really worry, but in my mind I thought something had to be done.
To that end, I wanted a betrothal. Not a "mere" engagement, but an honest commitment to marry me. In exchange, I would give her my honest commitment to marry her.
I selected as the talisman the Louisiana Recover Fleur de Lis from Mignon Faget. It is made of gold, which symbolizes her value to me. It is shaped in the symbol of Louisiana, which was such a huge factor in our lives at the time.
In the spirit of betrothal, I gave it to her only after we had reached a sober agreement. She could have it, but only if she would marry me. In return, it was a symbol of my committment to marry her.
We wear wedding rings now, because we are married in our hearts. She wears the betrothal pendant as a symbol that she is mine, now and forever. I find myself fondling it in moments of intimacy, dreaming of the day we'll be married and thanking God that this woman will forever be in my life.

Pretty much, my answer to the sentiment is NO.
This is my late entry to International "I Spy A Fork" Week. Also, this is my one hundred eighty second photo for 365 Days.

Tomorrow it will be three weeks since my accident. I thought I'd give y'all a quick update.
Things have been going great. I wrap my legs to prevent swelling, and I am able to walk like a regular person. I get a little achy by the end of the day, but it doesn't hurt. The gross wound is healing enough that it isn't super gross, or maybe I am just getting used to it.
Y'all can take a look if you like. I took a bunch of photos last night as I unwrapped my leg for the night. Because some of the photos in the set are extremely graphic and disgusting, I put everything in a hidden set. So, if you want to see the photos, click here for a guest pass. The oldest and bloodiest photos are last in the set, so you can stop if you get queasy.
This is my two hundred fourteenth self portrait for 365 Days.

Main lighting is via my IKEA halogen desk lap (above, shining through the glass table). Auxiliary lighting to soften shadows was from the left, using the 430EX fired remotely using the cheap ebay remote at calf level. The flash was at 1/32 power and pointing down to bounce off a yellow cutting board. Some Gimping too, using the newest version of my lomo script.

The absorbance spectra if three different waters measured through a 1cm quartz cuvette.
Water supplies are tested for purity using transmission measurements in the far-UV around 240nm. Longer pathlengths are usually used for this purpose.
The distilled water (blue line) is not ultra-pure but the difference from the tap water (red line, Wessex Water in Bath, Somerset) is apparent below 350nm. I have normalised these two spectra at 450nm which is where pure water has the highest transmission.
The rainwater from gull exctreta-polluted run-off from a flat roof contains biological detritus which absorbs significantly at 450nm. I have therefore normalised this spectrum (green llne) over the near-infrared spectral region where the detritus should be reasonably transparent.
The absorbance spectra are a bit noisy at longer wavelengths. This is due to 1cm being a short pathlength for this kind of measurement. Also the deuterium lamp is bright in the UV and fainter and less stable in the visible where the lamp transitions to a separate tungsten-halogen bulb.
Note that 'absorbance' (or optical density) is minus the logarithm (to base 10) of the transmission of the sample. So zero absorbance in this plot represents perfect transmission. The absorbance bands in the red and near-infrared on the right of the plot are the result of overtones (harmonics) of the fundamental vibrational frequencies of the water molecule. These are well described in the extremely useful and delightful website by Martin Chaplin ( www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/ )
Sometimes one of those simple and sweet setups does more than all the gear and planning could. I was moving a halogen lightbulb out of the way of a shot and I just plopped it down. However, put it down in such a way as the ambient lights reflected off its surface in a bit of an odd way. Well, that's all it took before I abandoned my other subject to focus on this one.
Unit #458, belonging to the Cranberry Township Police Department. This 2012 Chevy Caprice with a 6.0L V8. This is the last unit with the department with the old skin. Equipped with a Federal Signal Valor, single halogen spotlight, and a Pro Gard push bumper. This is their oldest unit, and is the next one to go.

Valentine's Day dessert: individual spiced chocolate soufflés for two.
Shot these in the kitchen, under the halogen lights of the range hood and using a sheet pan camera left to reduce the shadows a bit. Had everything set up, and staged the composition, since every time in the past I've tried to shoot soufflés things have collapsed too quickly to get a good shot.
Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-200 at 56mm, 1/3s @ ƒ9.5, ISO100.
Ingredients
3 oz. good quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (I used 65% cacao Valrhona)
2 tbl. unsalted butter
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 tbl. coffee
3 tbl. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch salt
tiny pinch cayenne
pinch cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. cocoa powder
additional soft butter and sugar to coat ramekins
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F with a rack in the lower position.
Butter the inside of 2 small ( oz) ramekins. Add a little sugar to each and swirl to coat the sugar completely.
In a double boiler, combine the chocolate, butter, coffee, salt, 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon, and the cayenne and heat until melted. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes or so.
In a meticulously clean metal bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form, then add the sugar and beat until the peaks are stiff to make a meringue.
Mix the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the meringue in 3 additions, combining just until no streaks remain and trying to keep as much volume as you can. Divide evenly between the two ramekins, tap to level the surface and settle any large bubbles, then run your finger along the inside rim of the ramekin to break the seal between the top of the batter and the rim.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake 18-20 minutes, until the soufflés have risen and the top appears set. Remove from the oven, and immediately sprinkle on a combination of the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and the remaining cinnamon. Serve right away.
A little bit of whipped cream might also be nice.
In honor of International Footwear Week, we took a departure from our normal routine and wore our sexiest shoes to bed.
Normally, we wear flip-flops.
This is my one hundred sixty fourth photo for 365 Days and my salute to footwear.

I found two cats resting under the halogen heater yesterday. It was rain and cold.
The place was very near to the Akihabara station, but no body and no commodity in the old dusty shop except them.

I wanted to capture the white halogen light escaping from the overall warm, golden glow of my floor lamp. This is not a golden toned shade, but a pearlised inner coating on the white shade, that gives this effect. I realised that I could capture the escaping white light, (and make it 'pop' against the golden glow), by holding the camera at a very acute angle to the pleats.
Phew!
I'm not too sure if was worth all the explanation now!
Also, I appear to be obsessed with "Lines"; and, abstract representation...

"Henry J Lyons and Partners' office building in Dublin: One Warrington Place is an office building situated at the junction of the Grand Canal and Lower Mount Street. The building is a high specification office of 6,500 sq.m of flexible floor area. The building is fully air conditioned and employs a high performance glazing system.
Henry J. Lyons and Partners provided full architectural design services from concept through to completion."
- From www.hjlyons.com/portfolio_1_19.html
"The new office building at Warrington Place is characterised by its highly modelled and three dimensional façade. This composition is contained by the oversailing bronze canopy roof. The substantial glazed sections are framed by stone panels and soffits, and the large curved drum adds drama to the façade and provides a focal point at this important junction.
The building overlooks the canal and its green spaces. This is reflected in the glazed panels which included mirrored elements. By night, the coloured lighting illuminates the shallow bulkheads that interface with the glazed wall.
The entrance forecourt balances the fluid bronze design of Michael Warren with the filigree structure that supports the glazed entrance canopy and glass fin walls of the foyer. Here slab cut-outs deliver light to lower ground floor. The bronze sculpture has direct dialogue with the material of the projecting boardroom box and the oversailing roofscape.
The floor plates are shallow in depth, receiving light from all façades, the indents in the façade bringing light deeper into the plan while accentuating the relief on the elevations. Small brise soleil elements emphasise the streamlined quality of the cantilevered bay adding additional depth to the façade.
Particular care has been taken to respect adjoining parapet lines in order to anchor the building within its immediate context. The transition from predominantly glazed to primarily solid treatment is made at these important interfaces in order to accommodate string course lines, window profiles and soffit positions with adjoining buildings.
From within, the building presents panoramic views across the city and towards the coastline. The terraces overlook the canal corridor and the Georgian character of its neighbours.
The collaboration of interior architects has delivered a fresh approach to office interiors. The entrance foyer with its bridge connection, use of reclaimed materials balanced with highly visual and modern elements; include lighting and furniture presenting a contemporary and up-to-date vision of the modern office.
The floor plates contain sleek metal ceiling tiles, and bulkheads to the perimeter which conceal feature lighting. Floor to ceiling high performance glazing stretches around the external envelope.
The building accommodates a myriad of sustainable design features; these coupled with the strong contextual architecture of the scheme will secure its future for coming generations."

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly - Like a Painting
I started with two submissions but I think I agree with the comments thus far and prefer this shot so I have taken the other down. It is still in my stream if you are curious.
WIT: Set up the fruit on a cutting board, lit with a single halogen and a homemade snoot out of construction paper.
In CS4 did some cloning and used a texture provided by ghostbones (Thank you very much!)
Bought me some H7 Xenon look bulbs for high beams. Looks a little bit better than normal bulbs.
Couldn't pass them up at 3 euro for a set :)
Having finished the final heritage tour of the day to Fleetwood and back and offloaded all passengers, Centenary tramcar 642 is now heading empty to the Starr Gate depot where it is temporarily housed - the looming structure of the Pepsi Max Big One rollercoaster dominating the scene as 642 passes by, still one of the tallest and fastest rollercoasters in Europe. The driver gave me a friendly wave as he passed by.
Built by East Lancashire Coachbuilders (East Lancs / ELCB) in 1985, including this one there were 8 trams of this type built (was originally going to be 10, but funding was cut) and the design was inspired by several types of buses around at the time (the headlight clusters remind me of a Duple Dominant). The trams were one-man operated in order to keep costs down when Blackpool was off-season, and were replacements for the OMO cars; but due to the high demand of use these trams often developed random and bizarre faults, sometimes putting one of these out of use for quite some time - one such random fault included all brake freezing in the 'off' position! Like the rest of the class, 642 had a refurbishment in 1999; although this was the first one to be modernised and so only received new larger destination displays, higher side roof panels for advertising purposes, and flat front panels with revised light clusters incorporating halogen headlights (enabling the tram to proceed beyond Bispham onto the unlit section of the tramway) - whereas others of the class got a more heavy duty modernisation which included a complete (and controversial) front restyle.
However this is a prime example of the old addage "you don't know what you've got until it's gone"... a few years ago people would never have made special journeys to Blackpool to ride on a Centenary tram - but now that only two are still in a serviceable condition, they now attract special attention. They also go down in the history books as the very last type of 1st generation tram to be built - and they're still the newest british-built tram which sees regular use. Plus without the Centenary cars, it is highly likely the Blackpool Tramway would have closed down - potentially forever.
