#Pins
I knew early on what would be my subject for the "Pins" theme: pins on an old motherboard. For my "Modern Times" style image for the MM theme "cogwheel" back in 2018 (please see the second comment) I'd wanted a circuit board as background, but didn't have one at hand. So I went to a very small computer shop around the corner and asked if they had an old, useless circuit board lying around – they had, and I got it for free. To carry it home, however, was a spiky affair. I'd thought that I'd simply put the mainboard under my arm, but I hadn't been aware that there are so many tiny, super spiky-prickly-sharp pins on a mainboard ;) So in the end I held it – in turns – at the sides (gingerly) or at the ports that would have been at the back of the computer chassis. A lasting memory, as it seems ;)
I've photographed the undersides of a row of connector pins that are plugged onto the edge of the mainboard. Each of them is 1 mm / 0,03 inches long. I've used both extension tubes (10mm/16mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens to get as close to the pins as possible. For the yellow/golden light I've used a yellow, semi-translucent cap of a soap bottle that fits so nicely onto the LED lamp's head. I was surprised that the pins looked so soft(-ish), and with the smooth, minimalist bokeh and the background colour (apparently the living room wall, because I hadn't put anything behind the mainboard) the final result reminded me of a corps de ballet or a chorus line. Or of chess pawns, but I prefer the aforementioned idea that these are dancers on an opera stage.
HMM, Everyone! Stay safe and healthy, and have a pleasant week ahead :)
Ich wusste schon frühzeitig (was nicht allzu oft vorkommt), was ich für das aktuelle MM-Thema machen wollte: "Pins" / Steckstifte auf einer alten Hauptplatine. Diese Platine hatte ich mir mal als Hintergrund für mein an "Modern Times" angelehntes Foto für das "Cogwheel"-Thema (September 2018, Ihr findet das Foto im 2. Kommentar) bei einer kleinen Computer-Bude bei mir um die Ecke besorgt. Das Nachhausetragen war dann eine stachelige Angelegenheit, denn ich hatte nicht an die doch sehr vielen, so kleinen wie nadelspitzen Steckstifte / Lötstifte / Verbindungsstifte und das andere spitze Zeugs, mit dem so eine Platine bestückt ist, gedacht. Unter den Arm klemmen war also nicht – und diese "Fasse-die-Platine-dort-an-wo-es-mal-nicht-pikt"-Erfahrung war dann offenbar doch so nachhaltig, dass ich mich gleich daran erinnert habe, als ich las, was das heutige Thema sein würde ;)
Ich habe hier beide Zwischenringe (10mm/16mm) und die Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse verwendet, um so nah wie möglich an die Reihe von Verbindungsstiften heranzukommen. Fotografiert habe ich deren Unterseite, mit gelb-goldenem Licht von der Seite, für das ich den halbtransparenten, gelben Schraubverschluss einer Spüliflasche auf den Kopf der LED-Lampe gesteckt habe (er passt wie dafür gemacht). Die Hintergrundfarbe kommt offenbar von der Wohnzimmerwand, da ich nichts hinter die Platine gestellt hatte. Das Resultat sieht überraschend luftig-leicht (für Technik) aus, finde ich. Die "Hütchen" erinnern mich durchaus ein wenig an Bauern auf einem Schachbrett, noch viel mehr erinnern sie mich aber an ein Corps de Ballet.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde. Und auch wenn die Inzidenzwerte momentan niedrig sind: Passt gut auf Euch auf!

Have a nice Tuesday ;-))
There's this one spot in Essen main station where, when a train passes through, 5 or more lines converge into a vanishing point...

Two Alco C430's have a good roll on WNYP's Farmers Valley job as they cross the NY/PA state line just north of Eldred, Pa. Already being after 4:00 PM in February, the short chase would be over after 20 minutes and 3 shots when they reached the 10mph treed-in branch.
Here's another image I captured in the Southwest. This time I am on HWY 163 just outside Kayenta, Utah heading toward Monument Valley. This is a typical landscape there, but for me, it was the light that made me stop. The line of color in the clouds only lasted a few moments as the sun was rising.
Thanks for stopping by
