The 1/23/23 Macro Mondays theme is Tape.
I wanted to center these tapes in a square, showing exactly three inches side to side and top to bottom, but I couldn't get the cloth tape to lie flat, so I had to be happy with an almost.
Revelation 11:2 “But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”
I LOVE to wrap! This year I ordered some adorable tape measures which are coming in handy as I go the extra mile to include something unique with my calendar cases!
I've met my match when it comes to detail!
paper lampshade for Macro Mondays. I did a lot of photos of the same object for this theme, but this is the only one where I'm sure it fits the size limits. This part is 6 cm wide.
After a recent excursion into the park to photograph some trees at night I decided to turn out the lights and take my photo while lighting my subject this week with coloured torches.
I had a fourth spoon but three and odd numbers always seem better in a photo. The spoons are resting on a metal plate used for getting Pizza's from the oven which gives the reflection.
Photo is pretty much bang on 3 inches on the long side.
This device is used to measure various portions of spaghetti. Or I suppose you could use it as a wrench/spanner for round nuts :>. For Macro Mondays theme "negative space".
One of the sadnesses of the lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic is that there is so little movement from place to place. Having spent the last year in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, I anticipated seeing very much more of the area. Instead, I have remained largely in one place, my contribution to not spreading the virus; that, and a heavy workload have meant that I have seen less of the world than I intended this year.
The silver lining to that cloud is that one sees so very many shades of one place. One sees things anew, even as they seem to pall. It reminds me of a photographer I read of once, I forget the name, who had spent much of his life photographing a nearby beach in numerous seasons, finding subtleties that others might miss. There is a venerability and wisdom in it which is appealing in a world that normally moves far too much.
Here is a bridge, seen most days for the last nine months, half shrouded in mist one recent morning. I am not sure that I matched the medium and the subject. Rollei Superpan 200 is, I discovered belatedly, effectively an aerial photography film; developed in stock ID-11 (around 9'30, with frequent agitation, as I could find no precise information on this pairing), the film is one of very strong contrasts and precise detail. My initial excitement at such stark negatives wavered when I realised how many images had been rather marred by camera shake - a combination of shorter days, a slower film speed, the near-weightlessness of the Zeiss Ikon Nettar, and a deep press of the shutter button had conspired to defeat me.
This one, however, was salvageable. Originally 6x6, the unbroken grey of the sky and the less than interesting grass have been cropped out to give a greater prominence to the lake, bridge, and reflections.

If you like my photographs, why not consider buying a print at captures.life? I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything isn't working or goes wrong are functioning just fine...
Haggai 2:16 “Before those days were, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the vat to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but twenty.”
I find it convenient to carry a tape measure in my jacket pocket so it came quickly to mind for today's theme. My window light was very poor today so I clipped a ring light to the mirror and used a white card to fill in light from the opposite side.

It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.
Male red-tailed hawks can measure 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) in total length, females measuring 48 to 65 cm (19 to 26 in) long.
Their wingspan typically can range from 105 to 141 cm (3 ft 5 in to 4 ft 8 in), although the largest females may possible span up to 147 cm (4 ft 10 in). In the standard scientific method of measuring wing size, the wing chord is 325.1–444.5 mm (12.80–17.50 in) long. The tail measures 188 to 258.7 mm (7.40 to 10.19 in) in length.
The exposed culmen was reported to range from 21.7 to 30.2 mm (0.85 to 1.19 in) and the tarsus averaged 74.7–95.8 mm (2.94–3.77 in) across the races.
The middle toe (excluding talon) can range from 38.3 to 53.8 mm (1.51 to 2.12 in), with the hallux-claw (the talon of the rear toe, which has evolved to be the largest in accipitrids) measuring from 24.1 to 33.6 mm (0.95 to 1.32 in) in length.

OK. You would think that it is fairly idiotic to assess the quality of literature by just weighing it. And you are right, it is a stupid thing to do. But it has just happened to me. I had my 'annual health check' (these days over the phone). I was confronted by a lady who was herself confronted with a form she had to fill in. This form required here to enter data which all related to body parts measured in numbers. There was not a single question relating to my cultural, social or intellectual life, to my 'narrative' as it were. Was I poor? Lonely? Happy? Did I have friends? Anybody caring or even loving me? You get the drift. I was treated exactly the way described in this image - as a controllable and quantifiable piece of matter. Stupid.

A Scaly Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron subunicolor) was inspecting foraging opportunity nearby sitting on a beautiful perch. That day was gloomy and was raining. I managed to get it in tough light but eventually managed one frame. Pics was taken from Hilly arears of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India.
Last night, I developed the Copy Film shots from this past weekend. Not bad. In fact, very workable. I have to really try to get the sky to not blow out (the film is orthochromatic, so blues expose first).
I'll have more to show you tomorrow, but for now, this will do.
