A small toy ice-rink - the figures moving around (on magnates) are around 2 cm tall. As a tradition, we try to go ice skating at Christmas. And we always enjoy setting up this ice-rink for the holidays. #Tradition #MacroMondays
Five small beads (image spans about 18 mm across)
Fujifilm X-A1 with Minolta MC Rokkor-QF Macro 50mm f/3.5 at f/8 mounted on Minolta Autobellows III (via Fotodiox MD-FX adapter). The lens was tilted and shifted towards the left and the bellows was extended about 33mm giving a total extension of about 70mm.
The beads in the foreground were lit from above and to the left with a Nikon SB-26 at 1/8 power through a grid and the beads in the background were lit via a Braun Hobby 17BC with a snoot.
BTS images show the setup (although without flashes) here:

the macromonday theme this week is shadows or in shadow (noir-ish) .... learned several things whilst doing these
(there were 199 pics):
a little p&s tries very hard in low light, the shadows probably would have been crisper on a smoother surface, not all shadows are black, to do these one needs a really strong flashlight (a headlamp works but not as well as hoped).
this one is pretty cool but may need to be cropped down to crop out more of the heart?
For the Macro Mondays project.
This week's theme: Corner

The #shadows from a hexagonal grid give the illusion of floating cubes in my #macromonday submission.

(et j'en sais quelque chose après cette petite série dans ma palmeraie*)
* ça c'est juste pour me la jouer rombière 😜
I only got one shot at this one because for the second I moved, some yellow leases behind the subject and in so doing I touched the blade of grass and the the drop fell to the ground.
Taken for the Macro Mondays theme "Vegetable(s)" on Monday 18/01/2016
I wanted to try a different technique, so found an old Ikea photo frame, took out the picture, balanced it between two chairs, put a desk lamp underneath and some baking paper on the upper surface of the glass. I then sliced various vegetables at various thicknesses.
This was a fairly thinly sliced red onion, which seemed to have just the right combination of colour and translucence for the effect I was trying to achieve. I'm quite pleased with the end result! Hope you like it too..HMM
If you haven't guessed.........this is mold growing on strawberries and up close it looks likes another universe......at least to me....
"Are Some Molds Dangerous?
Yes, some molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. And a few molds, in the right conditions, produce "mycotoxins," poisonous substances that can make you sick."
