During the war of 14-18 my grandfather was in Thessaloniki and he brought this necklace back to my grandmother. It's a very precious memory for me.
For the Macro Mondays challenge “Less than an inch” (February 26th 2017)
This week's challenge is all about size! The entire image, including the subject and the surrounding space must be smaller that a one inch cube (yes - height is included too). This is getting really up-close and personal ;o)
I tried several ideas; beads, shells, marbles, an earring and a tiny crystal ball. Got some nice shots, but nothing that really pleased me. Then this morning we were clearing some of the leaves from the garden before the promised snow arrives, and I thought I saw a small insect scuttling away. It wasn't an insect, but a tiny feather blown by the breeze. So I carefully took it in and started shooting it! The actual size against the 2x3" credit card I usually use as a guide is in the first comment field. Hope you like the result ... it really does all fit into that 1" cube, reflection and all ;o)
HMM!

Rosemary is an annual in this climate, but I always bring at least 1 plant into the house to overwinter. Each year about this time, always to my amazement, the large plant blooms - dozens of tiny, tiny mauve blossoms, each less than a 1/4" (6.3mm, .6cm). The span of a leaf pair from tip to tip is 1" (2.5cm) or less.

Hydrangea produces rich bundles of small flowers.
This is one.
I read somewhere that it's important not to remove these dead flowers until spring.
I don't mind, not at all a fanatic about the garden, and I do think they look beautiful, even in a 'skeleton state'.
This is shot through a magnifying glass.
I guess it's time to update my equipment, macro style :-)
With everything going on in the World today, I find myself doing a lot of imagining. #hopeful

My proof is right in front of me. I really love my macro lens. I was right on top of this wooden yard stick. I wanted the number 13 in my shot.
Happy Macro Monday

A One-inch detail from an ornate salad fork that dates from 1900. The pattern is York by Wm. Rogers, and I fell in love with it several years ago and have been collecting it since. I need knives, so if anyone has any they would like to sell, please contact me through Flickr e-mail.

For the Macro Mondays "Less Than An Inch" theme I chose to photograph a rusty nut and bolt which is situated at the bottom of a bird bath in our back garden.

Macro Monday - Less than an inch - I had to crop this slightly to make sure it was less than an inch including negative space...it was just a tad over but I couldn't focus any closer. HMM
And Less Than An Inch...
Safety matchstick that took its job a little too seriously and went out before the chemicals on the matchhead were completely burnt. I tried a few captures with a close-up lens (bought for my vintage 50 mm OM-Zuiko) attached to my macro lens, but wasn't happy with the results. Focusing with a close-up lens is soooo fiddly, and the DOF is extremely shallow (and images don't look nice when closing the aperture), and I still got sharper and better results with the 1:1 magnification of my macro lens. Extension tubes? From time to time the idea to get a set comes up, but they are expensive, and I'm not sure if I would actually use them a lot, so I decided to stick with my macro lens and crop the image instead.
This is a quick capture I still took today. Spent all day yesterday developing and editing a previous match capture, I'm checking out Affinity Photo and DxO. This one was also processed in DxO (and ON1 Photo Raw and a little LR). But the usual finishing touches such as signature and border were quickly done in PS (Affinity, while in many ways similar to Photoshop, is totally different in many other aspects, and it will take me a while to get used to it; yesterday I spent so much time trying to find out how some things work, and today I did not have that time).
I also have something that is a little more pleasing to the eye than a burned matchhead, a tiny perfume bottle that looks like a Whiskey decanter; I might upload this tonight ;-)
Size of the frame: 1,6 cm / 0,6 inches
A Happy Macro Monday Everyone ;-)
I have not worn these since retiring in 2002 from the Navy. The scale is from the Swiss Army knife I carried when deployed to the First Gulf War in 1990-91 and is in centimeters. Two less than one inch. Hope you enjoy -- HMM.
