The #MacroMondays #Handle theme

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.

Walking around Ribe, Denmark's (and Scandinavia's) oldest extant town, established in the first decade of the 8th century.

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”.

The handle on my antiques secretary that has been passed down from my grandmother.

For Macro Mondays theme - Handle with care. This Venetian shot glass, along with the other 5 glasses and decanter is one of the few sets of breakable items that survived the Christchurch earthquakes over the last 5 years in our home. Glass is smaller than credit card.

Drawer handles/knobs spotted in a charity shop.

Although with thorns, rose is very fragile when bitten by frost. So please, handle with care.

For Crazy Tuesday challenge.

After a chat with Dennis R about possible avenues to pursue with blanking off the middle of the frame and adding en extra element to fill the middle I came up with this. A tunnel with a silhouette would have been my preference but that will have to wait.

Olympus digital camera

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.”

— William Penn, Fruits of Solitude

Strobist info: an SB-900 speedlight shot through a 95 cm octagonal softbox with a grid positioned above and slightly in front the model. The speedlight was triggered by the camera's built-in flash set in CLS commander mode. I attached Nikon's SG-31R IR panel in front of the camera flash to prevent it from influencing the exposure.

Bei der letzten Oltimer show sah ich auf einer Motorhaube diesen roten Griff. Ich hatte sowas noch nie gesehen.

Hier bei Flickr gibt es aber schlaue Menschen, die sowas wissen und ich bekam Diese Auskunft:

"Der rote Griff dient zum Abschalten der elektrischen Anlage des Fahrzeugs. Es wird von Rettungskräften verwendet, wenn es auf einer Rennstrecke zu Zusammenstößen und Feuer kommt. Es ist zumindest bei einigen Rennstrecken Pflichtausrüstung."

Mein Wochenende wird sehr stressig und ich wünschte mir so einen Hebel für mich und keinen Regen.....

At the last Oltimer show I saw this red handle on a bonnet. I had never seen anything like it.

But here at Flickr there are smart people who know more than I do and I got this information:

"the red handle is used to shut off the electrical system on the car. It is used by rescue workers if there is a crash and fire on a race track.It is mandatory equipment at least some race tracks."

My weekend is very stressful and I wanted such a handle for me and no rain .....

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.

In this kitchen we have a bar table and two seats, an induction stove and upper cabinets with no handles. A black fridgerator gives a nice counterbalance for the white surfaces.

My husband bought this set for me 10 years ago. It is a very ornate design

Spotted this rusty handle on the door of a little building on the shore of Lake Superior.

Our dreams all rely upon the collective appreciation and respect of others' dreams. What may seem like magic to you may very well be a punch in the gut to someone else working hard, living consciously and trying to make a go in life. Your magic crystals may be someone else's broken dreams. Don't be too selfish to see what impact you're having on the world.

fall is here and I'm going through old and new pics that I never processed. New computer can handle processing. I'm not sure this bridge is still in the preserve. This areas has been closed off while they revamp the area. It's nice so far.

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.

I need to spend more time handling film. I decided today to pull out the exposed rolls from the refrigerator and either develope them or have them developed. This is from a roll of Velvia 50 that I had cross processed. For some reason every shot is color inverted, so I spent some time goofing to get this image. Maybe I should have gone for the slides...

I also went down to the college and developed three rolls of B/W. I did fine(mostly) with the 120 film, but horribly mangled the 35mm film. I'm not sure if practice is enough, but it couldn't hurt...

I'm pretty sure this is from last summer, but I'm not sure which camera I used. I also fogged most of the forth of July pinholes taking the film out of the camera, so I'll scan them, but no promises that there is anything of value.
