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”.
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Handle'. Week 21/2020.
This is a paper knife with silver card beneath and blue card above. It's taken in natural light with an LED for highlight and is straight out of the camera except it's been cropped to 16x9.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
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.
Door handles on the left side of an ancient 1952 FX Holden.
On display at the Queensland Museum, this was an actual car owned by local legend George Kiprios who regularly drove around the streets of Brisbane with radio blaring with rock-and-roll music. The 1952 FX Holden was the first truly Australian car manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions. Over time it was the most famous Holden in Brisbane, loved for its steady presence and George's idiosyncratic customisation.
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.
