Created for Macro Monday's Weekly Theme, November 21. This week's task is to represent in a macro fashion anything “metallic”! Here is a gold-plated serving dish with water drops.

 

A close up of a drawing compass if you couldn't guess. Taken with a Canon 60mm USM Macro lens.

 

Our Daily Challenge - Metallic - 4/20/14

The "wing" of a bee from the family Xylocopa. It's really amazing that the normally brown wing becomes blue in the diffuse light. This is the second photo of the my new "Wing Series".

What a fantastic species! These Starlings have amazing plumage - a wonderful metallic like shimmer rolls across their feathers with the light!

 

These Starling migrate from New Guinea each year to breed in Far North Queensland over the summer. They nest in communities that can contains hundreds of birds, building messy, spherical nests that hang from nesting trees. These nests are often only centimeters apart from one another. The noise they make is incredible!

Printed on metallic paper from Nations Photo Lab. They look great, especially the simple colorful designs like the red in center. I need to make the lens part slightly larger since the metallic paper isn't flexible at all.

My last moth for moth week, 2017. I think it's pretty fancy for something so small.

 

Id help appreciated. Metallic Coleophora Moth?

One of my favourite species from Far North Queensland, the fantastic Metallic Starling.

 

These amazingly coloured birds migrate from New Guinea to Far North Queensland each year for the wet season to breed. They construct these incredible communal nests in specific trees, with some locations housing hundreds of nests all together. As you can see in this image, the nest are built right on top of each other & can cover the whole tree, like a sprawling high-rise of Metallic Starling apartments!

 

As you can imagine the noise (& sometimes smell!) is something else! There are often squabbles amongst neighbouring birds & sometimes they will try & steal nesting materials from one another! It can be quite chaotic.

 

If you look closely, this pair both have food in their mouths ready to feed their demanding offspring safely concealed within their nest.

 

Amazingly, each year these birds return to the same trees they have nested in previously to breed & raise their young, before heading back to New Guinea.

 

Fantastic birds!

Beautiful conditions at Forresters Beach on the Central Coast. Underwater shot from the small shore break waves and shallow waters.

Thin-spined jumping spider, Tutelina elegans. Just the coolest little critter -- looked metallic green-gold as it moved. Quite friendly, kept trying to jump to me.

This wall contains 30,000 light-sensitive diaphragms that were designed to regulate the penetration of light into the building. This is taken from traditional Arab latticework.

To make this "sculpture" clearly visible in detail, I enhanced light on the metal. I also drew outlines around it to make it stand out clearly. No digital alteration was made by me on the sculpture except the brighter light on it.

Wellcome Collection, London, England

 

As promised from yesterdays here is London's newest spiral staircase at the Wellcome Collection!

 

It was a bit of a coincidence and bit of luck that I managed to get a photo of this staircase. I knew that the Wellcome Trust building was undergoing massive renovations and this spiral staircase was part of that so I have been keeping an eye on their progress. As I was travelling into London yesterday I thought I would check on the progress of their renovations and just by shear luck the spiral staircase was revealed and opened to the public yesterday so as soon as I got into Kings Cross Station I went straight down there.

 

This was one of many images that I got of the staircase. Designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre at cost of about £1 million! Completely made out what appears to be sheet metal, its very stunning to look at and makes you want to keep touching it. It was quite a challenging staircase to take images of due to its asymmetric nature.

 

Also got few more photos from my time in London, especially some new London Underground photos so keep watching!

Macro Mondays theme: Stripes

 

Not had much time to think creatively this week as my 3 young children have been on half term holidays from school, including today. Then I remembered some shots I'd taken of the inside of our piano but not yet posted. Perfect for this theme.

 

Will catch up with others posts later today.

Arsipoda. Absolutely everywhere in the Juncus flowers. This one was intent on feeding on the fruit and didn't even bring its head out.
