SHARPENING OH WHY?!
Why I didn't use my 50mm for this, I don't even know.
I'll be putting up some funny outtakes on my facebook page from this shoot in the comments.

Inspiration Song for this picture: I Lived
Landscapework by my Man: Marvin Graycloud
I have lived and loved and fallen and the most important thing is that I always got up again. Believe in yourself and enjoy every little moment in your life because they go by way too fast.
Life never gives you more than what you can handle face the challenges show it to the world stand up and be happy that you are alive because many others are not
I sending you all lots of Love ♥♥♥
Mimes cover themselves with metallic paint and pose like statues on streetcorners. Crossdressers are so convincing that Olympic committees work with doctors and labs, just to figure it out. Filmmakers and photographers manipulate reality everyday with computers, and call it "special effects." We've learned that we can no longer trust what our eyes tell us. Perhaps that's why this 3-year-old in the local park had to check for herself--to determine if the bronze people on the bench were real or merely "art".
Of course, the word "art" comes from "artifice"--meaning trickery; guile; craftiness. And it isn't only visual--as "Nowhere Man" once said, "if I spoke plain, you'd soon find out, I don't know what I talk about" (good words to remember as the political season comes upon us).
The #MacroMondays #Handle theme
A focus stacked macro of a miniature jug from my dear wife's collection
Taken in a light tent with a 12mm extension tube, processed in Photoshop; converted to monochrome, sepia toned with a vignette and grain added.
HMM all
HMM- the theme for today, 5/25, is handle and this one is probably the cutest of the 3-4 macros that i'll put up.
I decided to grasp the nettle for this week’s Macro Mondays' theme, Handle with Care. Stinging nettle (urtica dioica) may be an irritant but it does have a range of medicinal properties, being an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-ulcer, astringent and analgesic. Not to miss out the wise words from across the breakfast table, “Don’t forget its use in cookery, as nettle soup”.
KKP's bullpup assault rifle.
Credit also goes to Duke for the Mossberg handguard and L-85 carrying handle, which were mighty convenient!
Although with thorns, rose is very fragile when bitten by frost. So please, handle with care.
For Crazy Tuesday challenge.
One of the locks of the Grand Union Canal in Apsley, Hemel Hempstead. They are still operated manually (and you need a lot of elbow grease to do that). Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 35/1.4.
Normally I take my morning walk with my dog through the Corte Madera Marsh armed with an 18-200mm lens, but the topic for Macro Mondays is Into the Woods, so for this shot I clamped on my 105mm Micro Nikkor and slipped my SB 600 speedlight in my vest pocked and headed for a patch of raspberry bushes that are located in a wooded section of the marsh. My German shepherd Roma thought I was nuts, crawling around amidst a tangle of raspberry bushes, but I got my shot, several of them in fact, and she forgave me for making her sit quietly, while I did my thing for Macro Mondays...
I had trouble choosing between two of the shots I got, so I posted my other favorite in the first comment box below.
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Handle", on 25 May. The cup is part of a demi-tasse coffee set that I was given as a wedding present in 1970. Not sure I've ever used any of it till now.
Spotted this rusty handle on the door of a little building on the shore of Lake Superior.

This is the doorway / main entrance located in the south porch of St Mary the Virgin Church, Little Wakering, Essex.
The Nave/chancel (Norman Tower) was built early in the 15th Century
If you zoom in on the stone arch adjacent to the top hinge, you will see two lovely decorative stone carved heads.

This is the door handle on our garden shed. Have always thought it looked a bit like a lion's head. But maybe it's just me!

This is the handle of my Henckel Kitchen Scissors. They are very diverse! I actually measured them using the 3" rule.
