Macro Mondays
Theme: NINE
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
I decided on this chocolate wrapper with the number nine on it as the subject.
It sits on a mirror with 2 light sources at 9 and 12 o'clock.
Back ground colours are off blue and orange plastic bags. A spray of water completes the set up.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs...it is always appreciated.

I noticed today it is nine months since I posted a picture of my favourite boat. How time flies. This was from may 2019 when I spent a few days in the Scottish Highlands.
Last May (2019) I spent some time in the Scottish Highlands which meant I had to go and see my favourite boat; the MV Dayspring.
Here she is shot in sunny weather with Ben Nevis in the background. She has been in this position since she foundered during a bad storm on December 8th 2011 on the shore near Corpach in the Scottish Highlands. The tide has never been high enough since to re-float the boat so she remains here stuck on land rotting away. She is still privately owned.
You all know how I love to photograph this boat. It is a sad but beautiful sight to me. I have become very attached to this boat. To me it has become part of the landscape here.
Here is some of her history

Close up image from one of our favourite west coast beaches. A gorgeous calm night with clouds closing in the beach. Not the prettiest lighthouse but distinct and interesting shape of the rock.
After playing hard with the kids and his visiting cousin-dog, Niner just fell asleep - splayed out and played out.
Taken early after sunrise hits the tree about a month prior to the previous snow version I shared.

The Riley Nine was one of the most successful light sporting cars produced by the British motor industry in the inter-war period. It was made by the Riley company of Coventry, England, with a wide range of body styles between 1926 and 1938. The car was largely designed by two of the Riley brothers, Percy and Stanley. Stanley was responsible for the chassis, suspension and body and the older Percy designed the engine.
This 1931 Riley Nine, GO 1185, is seen in the orchard before taking to the speed hill climb at Prescott.
I love this little string of reindeer and Santa, but only just noticed it's 9 tiny reindeer instead of 8! Maybe one is Rudolph! :)
Nine Stones Close, also known as the Grey Ladies, is a Bronze Age stone circle located near Youlgreave in Derbyshire. It sits within a local prehistoric landscape that includes Bronze Age barrows and settlement enclosures, and is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages, over a period between 3300 and 900 BCE. The purpose of the monument is unknown, although archaeologists have speculated that the stones represented supernatural entities.
It is uncertain whether there were originally nine stones, one theory being that nine is a corruption of 'noon', said to be the time when, according to local folklore, fairies would gather at the site to dance.

A nine banded armadillo out looking for a grub or two. I have always wanted to find a baby in the wild but so far they have managed to elude me and my camera. ( explore # 42 ) my thanks to everyone
Réaliser une photo macro ayant pour thème le nombre/chiffre 9 laisse beaucoup de perspectives. J'ai opté pour une photo minimaliste avec un morceau de bolduc suspendu pour lui donner plus de légèreté. De quoi bien commencer la semaine. Bonne semaine à tous.

This was an experiment in simplicity. No focus stacking, no editing beyond basic adjustments and cropping, all the work done in studio to create a fun water droplet refraction image. The hardest part about this is being a good “droplet architect”!
I shot this image with the Lumix G9 which is a 20MP micro four thirds camera but with a high-resolution mode that can generate 80MP images. It was my first encounter with this feature, and I use it regularly on my Lumix S14 and A1 camera bodies. I had never previously published this image online, though it did end up in my new book (which you can grab a copy of here: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... ) adjacent to the foreword.
That high-resolution mode makes “macro” work easier… or at least, the perception of macro work! The term is directly related to how large something is in reality vs. how large it appears on the sensor. A 1:1 relationship (life-size) is the classical definition of macro work… but today we use the term for anything notably magnified – and cropping can get us there as well. When cropping in excessively, you’ll also need a lens capable of resolving the best details while simultaneously avoiding issues from diffraction. I found that the Leica 45mm F/2.8mm macro at F/11 (or wider) holds up nicely when the high resolution mode is activated and cropping is utilized to push deeper into the macro realm while still maintaining excellent depth of field.
The flower petals are held in place just outside of the frame with “third hand tools”, little alligator clamps on a swivel base that can easily position subjects for table-top macro work. The droplets themselves were placed with a hypodermic needle, and the water is just that: plain old tap water.
The goal was to try and place the petals all at different angles; the bottom petal is facing more forward to come out of focus, but the droplets were placed in line with the others to try and get a bit of depth in the frame while maintaining the best level of focus. One must work quickly, however! The petals will droop and change positions fairly quickly, likely shifting the droplets to a slightly different focal plane. The camera is set up beforehand with a remote trigger so as soon as everything is in place, I can fire off the shot.
Illuminated with an LED flashlight pointed at the flower in the background, the background becomes brighter than the petals, and thereby the droplets become brighter than the surface they are attached to. This helps them stand out more brightly and vibrantly in the image. A full list of considerations, techniques and equipment is presented in my new book, linked above. This is such a fun subject to explore at home, on your kitchen table!
What I loved most about the museum was the little acrylic blocks with numbers on them, beside each item. This matched up with the description placed discretely somewhere else..
