Macro Monday's theme - Less Than an Inch

I used the macro setting on my camera but also extensively cropped. The end results make this look a bit like a sketch instead of a photo.

A bubbly Macro Monday!

Subject

A pair of fishing hooks, each less than an inch long, form a heart. Fishing is a #SimplePleasure that I most associate with wonderful times spent with my father and stepfather at various times of my life.

It was shot for several challenges simultaneously:

Macro Mondays "Less Than An Inch"

Flickr Friday's "Simple Pleasures"

Smile On Saturday's "On Pure White"

Weekly Theme Challenge's "Hearts"

Sunday Lights "Only Your Best"

Lens

On the body we have the SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR. It's the kit wide-angle zoom. Reversed onto that lens is the SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm.

The EXIF data only shows the information for the body-attached lens. Even at 55mm it has mild vignetting when used this way. At 18mm, only a small central circle is visible. The reversed lens is fixed at 50mm and is wide open at f1.7.

The image is not cropped or modified in any way.

Lighting

One Pentax AF540FGZ strobe is mounted on the body as the wireless master, aimed at an improvised white-paper reflector. A second AF540FGZ capped with a generic snap-on diffuser is the wireless slave, laying just outside the frame.

I collect sea shells. Karl's mom collected, which I have now, rocks. This one is amazing - I have no idea what it could be, but I love it. It's just a little piece and I put it on the window sill to capture this. I was happily surprised with my lens - I minimally cropped any of the pictures, with some not being touched at all. With this one, I literally just shaved the sides a bit. HMM!

These are amethyst core samples I purchased at a local gem show. The detail is gorgeous and I love how they sparkle in the sun. HMM

Macro Mondays,Less Than An Inch

The difference between pure silver and 925 sterling silver. Pure silver is not really made up of only silver. It has 99.9% of silver, and a small content composed of other metals such as copper.

Sterling Silver, on the other hand, consists of 92.5% silver, and the remaining part consists of copper. This is the reason why Sterling Silver is popularly referred to as 925 Sterling Silver or just 925 Silver.

The reason silver needs to be combined with other metals is that it is very difficult to make great designs with just pure silver, which is very soft and malleable. A bit of hardness has to be introduced, by adding other metals such as copper. That’s why jewelers are capable of making the most intricate and complex designs with 925 Sterling Silver.

A strange one, a brown sugar cube, it was one of the first things that came to me as less than an inch which had a nice texture I could try and capture. HMM

I found this tiny fly (Diptera) on a leaf of native Black Sage (Salvia mellifera) in the Lamiaceae plant family. My first thought was it is a Bee Fly (family Bombyliidae) because of that stout proboscis and humped back - maybe genus Geron, though it doesn't seem as furry as the photos at BugGuide. But looking closer, I see that its proboscis sticks out straight and is flattened from side to side - which suggests it is a Dance Fly in the family Empididae, and I think that's the better guess. It's small, about 1170 pixels long in this 1:1 macro shot, which comes to 4.6 mm long, about 3/16 inch. (See here for how I figured.) This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme of "Less Than An Inch" - and it certainly does qualify. The entire photo as cropped is 2,356 pixels across, which comes to about 3/8 inch. Most of my photos would probably satisfy this condition. HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 24 February 2018)

Shot for Macro Mondays theme "Less Than An Inch". In this case, I shot outdoors in natural sunlight. With camera hand-held and set to manual focus I moved the camera (in/out) instead of turning the lens.

Macro Mondays: Less Than an Inch

Participation in the Macro Mondays group is always an opportunity for discovery.

This week, while researching my archives for subject ideas under 1 inch, I realized (from an old photo description) that the extension tube that I have been using and identifying as 20mm, for years now, is actually 12mm. I'm not sure when I made the mistake but it was quite a while back. This explains something that has been troubling me: that it doesn't help all that much in getting closer to the subject when used with my 100 mm macro lens. (I have now ordered the 25mm version!)

In this image, I am showing an amethyst bead, about a 1/4 inch in diameter, strung on #0 beading cord. Using a 100mm lens plus the 12mm extension tube on my full-frame camera, I could not focus closely enough to meet the 1-inch requirement for this week's theme, SOOC. So this is a cropped version (retaining my camera's aspect ratio).

HMM everyone!

50 øre is a 1/2 krone. 1 krone is the smallest value of coins in the Norwegian system of payment, consisting of 1, 5, 10 and 20 NOK.

This coin from 1988 is already a classic and no longer valid as payment in Norway, as from May 1th 2012. After this date, Norges Bank is still obliged to redeem the coin for another 10 years (until May 1th 2022).

Made of Silver in the period 1926-49, and made of copper from 1996-2012.

God save the Queen (?). Well, this picture has been taken with special mobile lens, Olloclip Macro Lens. Despite I am not keen on the idea of countries with monarchy, it's true that the Queen Elizabeth is one of the most emblematic member of royal families in Europe. How about you? What is your opinion about the monarchies? HMM everyone!
