For the Macro Monday challenge "Less is more" (August 4th 2014)

A perfect title for a macro challenge - with the macro lens the closer you get, the greater the detail you can see. Of course the bigger picture is sacrificed - but the telling detail can suggest that big picture. Shot with the Sony NEX-6 using the E30mm F3.5 macro lens.

Brand : Pobeda (Victory)

1st State Precision Jewel Cutting Factory (ТТК-1)

Year: T3 1954

Caliber: 2602 41M 32yH 15 jewels

 

TTK-1... Five magic letters for a Soviet watches collector. Engraved on movement, marked on dial under index 6.

The story of brand Pobeda is explained here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pobeda_%28watch%29

But, There is a small inaccuracy in the list of plants that produced Pobeda watches. The first name of Petrodvorets Watch Factory (near Leningrad) was "Первый Государственный завод точных технических камней" 1st State Precision Jewel Cutting Factory (ТТК-1).

During 1954 (1955 ?), the brand TTK-1 stopped being used by the factory, when the "automated assembling conveyor" was completely in production. Before, a TTK-1 was assembled from A to Z by a single worker, as explained in this Raketa video : www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_Goy2...

"Der Sturm Herwart fegte über Österreich"

Der 2-stündige Regenbogen war eine fotogene Zugabe.

 

Obwohl Herbststürme in Europa jedes Jahr vorkommen und auch in Österreich nichts Ungewöhnliches sind, war dieser einer der kräftigeren Sorte.

This was the last sight I saw as R2D2 ran over me while driving Luke's X-34 Landspeeder. I can't believe with five million miles of desert and he couldn't go around me.

 

View while riding along with R2D2 ... wear a seatbelt!

Hailing myself as a woman of this generation, exuding confidence and finesse is second to none in my book. I am like a bee to honey that I gravitate and swoon over models of such, empowered women as I call them. As I fall in love with their grace, sophistication and world-turning minds, I follow them all over and slowly notice myself blossoming into one. Elegance is an attitude. It is a luxury of any woman.

Asahikawa, Hokkaido 2025. I was really looking forward to shooting trees in the winter in Hokkaido recently and the landscape has so much to offer. Huge thanks to Rohan Reilly for leading a wonderful tour of the northern Japanese island - his knowledge of the areas and well organised tours make visiting for photography such a pleasure and always a memorable experience.

I took this a couple of years ago and decided to convert it to mono. Not sure if I prefer it with the touch of colour. Original in comments. I found this quote which I thought would be a great title but I couldn't find who to credit with it. HMBT

Found this graphic image whilst walking around the Millwall Outer Dock in the Docklands. Thankfully the feather blew around for a while to allow me enough shots whilst the water lapped gently under the pontoon.

I love still life and I find it interesting and challenging.

 

To make a mark and record for my statistics, it comes to 15.3 million views this morning on 30 August 2015. Thank you to all your visits, views and comments.

 

Wish you a great Sunday!

 

This is repost of tomatoes still life in my kitchen.

 

The following is the original story going with the previous post.

 

*******************************************************************************

 

Isn't internet amazing?

 

In September 2013, there are two millions views on my Flickr stream. In July 2014, there are 6.4 millions.

 

Numbers does not give real meaning to anything. However it is still interesting to see these changes.

 

This is the repost of my picture taken in September 2013.

 

Have a great Friday!

 

Yesterday (30 September 2013) my Flickr stream hit the mark of two millions views. Right at this moment when I write this description, the views count comes to 2,008,051.

 

It took me 39 months (more than 3 years) to reach the one million view count in October 2012. It only takes me 11 months more to hit the two millions view count. But I am not excited.

 

On my third anniversary on Flickr (July 2012), my daily view count was about 1,200 and a picture had about 600-900 views in the first 24 hours. Now my daily view count is 12,000 to 15,000 views and a picture will have 1,200-1,500 views in 24 hours.

 

The increase is not coming from my improved photography but more a result of change on Flickr. I have noticed the trend on Flickr lately.

 

A picture on Explore nowadays can warrant 18,000 - 22,000 views in the first 24 hours. Last year the same Explored picture has only 3,000 - 5,000 views in 24 hours. Compared to a non-Explore picture like mine, the difference or gap is 10.800 views (or 90%) while the gap in the past was only 2,400 (or 80%).

 

The expansion in viewing platform to mobile devices has increased the view count but also widens the gap between the popular (or selected) few and the majority. Also the comments has dropped and this reflects less interaction in the community.

 

This is like a developed economy has a bigger gap between the poor and the rich when the economy grows quickly.

 

Internet is not a democratic place and the resources are more and more commanded by a few elites. These selected few again command more resources outside the internet e.g. getting published, showing in galleries and other platforms.

 

We are not small potatoes. I am too old to join a revolution but we can get ready some tomatoes for protest. :o)

 

We have had wind storm in the weekend. It was pouring in the last few days and my still life season comes again. This is the tomatoes in my kitchen. Oh I forgot to mention I have eaten them yesterday! :o)

 

Happy Tuesday!
