I had one years ago but it broke, now with the help of the "Bay" finally found a mint (vintage) one to once again attach to my Nikon F, lots of fun to take pictures from the waist, sort of a mini Rolleiflex 28f or Hasselblad 500 (minus the price). The 5x built in magnifier helps with focusing details. Of course the iPhone picture doesn't do this classic justice!

It begins! Last night we had temperatures dipping into the range for freezing soap bubble photography (between -8C and -20C) and I took advantage… always trying to experiment. Read on!
I’ve been envious of freezing bubble images from other photographers that use the setting or rising sun as a light source for an orange glow. We have tall hedges and trees that block the low angle of the sun from hitting our backyard, but I discovered a way to approximate the same effect: coloured filters over my flashlights.
I recently picked up a kit of 52mm filters in so many different colours from K&F Concept: www.kentfaith.com/52mm-filters/SKU0834_52mm-filter-set-fu... . I didn’t have much intension of using the filters on my camera (though some creative concepts have come to mind), but rather to colourize light sources. The orange filter was on the primary flashlight shining from behind as backlighting, and I added a blue filter to a second light illuminating the foreground to add a bit of colour contrast and separation. Without the blue, it looked like I could have just faked the effect in Photoshop.
This is mostly an out-of-camera photo, with a bit of cropping and processing for structure enhancements done in ON1 Photo RAW 2019. Loving how it can bring out details in fine textures like this, it’s more and more becoming the starting point of any image edit rather than Lightroom. A complex edit to remove a catch-light from the blue flashlight needed to be handled in Photoshop, but this is otherwise an all-natural in-the-field creation.
A bright backlight is important for the best quality results here, the brighter the better. I’m using a NiteCore Tiny Monster TM36 (now replaced by the TM38: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1364873-REG/nitecore_tm38_... ) which has 1800 lumens from a single LED. The singular LED is important, because I use a simple sheet magnifier / Fresnel lens (www.amazon.com/Opticlens-Magnifier-Plastic-Magnifying-Fre... ) to refocus the intense light down to just the footprint of the soap bubble. This allows me to shoot at low ISO settings and small apertures without getting any motion blur from the growing crystals.
Shot on the Lumix GX9 with the Leica 45mm F/2.8 macro @ ISO 200, F/22, 1/250sec. Even at F/22 the focus starts to fall off quickly when you get up close, so the bright light is always helpful.
This image is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There were other images from the same session that I’ll post soon, but the gears are spinning in my head with new experiments and additional lights for some fun effects. Images like this are constructed by the photographer, becoming an artist of many facets. Because of that, there is always more to explore.
This is my photo for Macro Mondays - Crime.
Peter and I both worked for the Police Service - Peter started as a young fellow of 14 years and 9 months and retired just before he turned 60. We both worked in the Fingerprint section and when Peter retired he was given this magnifier and a certificate with his fingerprint thanking him for his years of dedicated service.
I had a basic knowledge how to read fingerprints back in the day, but have forgotten most of it now.
A little indoor fun today ....Rain and cold temperatures but always fun working on Macro and some new techniques!! I was using Focus Magnifier in camera setting
Not a PS trick!

Testing out my new toy and a new film. Sorry for the lack of spotting but my mouse is acting up due to tired batteries.
Focusing was a bit off on this one. I thought I focused on the eyes but I focused on the ears. The camera came with a ground-glass screen and I find it pretty difficult to focus with it unless I use the magnifier. It's a bit darker too. I have the extremely bright Rollei High-D screen on order. It has a split-screen focusing aid, which should help.
First use of magnifier optics known as Powermate (2.5x), an alternative to barlow lenses that more is suited for imagining than visual.

I've literally made hundreds (possibly thousands) of captures of these guys, but every so often one demands another capture.
And hopefully I'm getting better at it along the way.
Note: This is my first capture of one of these guys at ISO 50, so it may be worth using the magnifier (click click) to see what that looks like.
Thank you Sony!
The same slime mold as in the last picture. Only at a later stage in which the formation of the antlers began.

With storms in the forecast for much of the week, I decided to venture down to my favorite lilac bush to see if it had decided to put on its annual display and was rewarded by finding it in peak bloom, every floret in the remarkable clusters in perfect form, each leaf pristine as well. The aroma was almost overwhelming and the bees were swarming. In previous years, I've seen a wide range of butterflies as documented elsewhere, but didn't see a one, the dearth notable in recent years.
In any event, I snapped many shots and uploaded a few more in comments to try to provide a feel full sense of this specimen bush, approximately 15 feet high and the same in width and circumference. In getting there, I also noticed that a number of other wildflowers were also in fine fettle so the macro function again got a workout as it always does at this time of year.
As for the title, the blurry birds (good name for a game, no?) were a bonus as I didn't notice them when I took the shot but they compliment the bird house rather nicely I thought. As for the bee, also an unexpected addition to the composition, you may have to use the magnifier to find it....a good way to view the photo anyway.
For a better look I would say, use the flick-magnifier or check this one ... Enjoy!

Every evening, I stitch on this intricate embroidery work. Love doing it! It requires stitching skills as it is a big work with all kinds of specialty stitches.
It is Chatelaine's Poison Garden or Hortus Venenum, designed after The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland, UK.
Every plant there is poisonous.
I took this picture today for Marcro Mondays' theme "Handmade".
It is app. 6x4 cms. (I stitch with a magnifier light).
Our cats' DNA are in it too :-)

Decisions made here in 1763 sowed the seeds of the American Revolution. With the end of the Seven Year’s War, also known as the French and Indian War, France ceded all mainland North American territories, except New Orleans. Britain gained all territory east of the Mississippi River; Spain kept territory west of the Mississippi.
With the Proclamation of 1763, George III, already wary of the cost of defending the colonies, prohibited all settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. This intervention into colonial affairs offended the thirteen colonies' claim to the exclusive right to govern lands to their west.
Attempts to finance the defense of the colonies by the British Government led to the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Quartering Act. These actions caused widespread protest and finally rebellion.

I'm not sure what this building is but hell! The architecture involved is quite amazing (magnifier, if so inclined)... and so buried amongst modern, sky-high scraping monoliths. In the midst of giants.
Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly! group. This week's assignment: Bokeh
Swore to myself to really get active again. So the topic "bokeh" was perfect for some experiments. I actually took nearly 200 photos (at some point you get desperate if the result is not what was made up by your mind) and then went to bed. With some days in between I now feel that this is equal to the one I posted before even though it does not follow my concept (with the magnifier).
What it took: This was one of the test shots I did before implementing the magnifier. I needed to learn what level blur I wanted and how to achieve it. Here I focused on the "stem" of the fiberglass lamp and was surprised (and pleased) by the sparkling effect this photo generated. The color is close to reality but I went the long way via B&W with subsequent coloring (the simplest and most effective way to get rid of some nasty purple fringing and chromatic abberations that often occur wide open at high contrast transitions).
Once again I like pixelpeeping here to watch the light bubbles a little closer (and the contrasting fine structure of the stem).

I can't resist a challenge, it seems...
So, digital artist extraordinaire and my sometimes collaboration partner, Beth Rosengard, suggested that this photo here: Witness Rondo (10-17) might be a good candidate for photo manipulation resulting in an abstract art piece (or something along those lines). I got a cracking and this wound up on top of the heap when all the dust settled.
*Of note: It is a rather large piece so, the magnifier is subtly advised.

No one ever told us we had to study our lives,
make of our lives a study, as if learning natural history
or music, that we should begin
with the simple exercises first
and slowly go on trying
the hard ones........ ~ Adrienne Rich
Note to self: Look up why this is called a sharpshooter.
To put in perspective how tiny this guy is, that is a stalk of a parsley plant that it is perched on. He's around 1/2 an inch long. Macro really does open a whole new world, because without the benefit of a magnifier, this bug is just a tiny, dark speck on your plant.
Happy Monday!
I took out one of my favorite camera from dry cabinet to exercise by using with a Zeiss Sonnar 50mm F1.5 lens. Even though my camera is old, it still performs well and the pictures look good. I tried new viewfinder magnifier specific for Leica M10. The brand is Bresson, it was found to be of good quality and worth the price and not required adapter to mount.
