Panama City Beach (PCB)

for Macro Mondays
Peter did a series of sculptures (mostly weird ones!) using computer chips - this is part of a huge Spitfire he made.
IT's difficult to see the scale of this, but the whole board is 7"x 5", and this is just a very small part of it - you can even see the dust particles!
my thoughts on the laowa 65mm:

shot with a fujifilm x-s10 and a venus optics laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x macro lens
Made in Blender 2.93, using geometry nodes and rendered in Cycles.
The render is a bit over-exposed, but I'm not going for perfection.
Early Friday morning (~6:30am) at the Panama City Beach pier across from Pier Park. I had a polarizing filter and ND gradient filter and set the shutter to 10-30 seconds. (You can see that in the EXIF data.) The waves were not too high, which sometimes helps, but it was very choppy and you don't see them in this shot at all. The sun had just began to appear behind me, so you can see that on the pylon in the foreground.
I didn't do any processing in Photoshop, just a little exposure (it was overexposed) overall and added some contrast.
Trying to get a city like landscape with electronic components. I tried a very low angle and back lighting with the speed light. I was going to try stacking, but couldn't get the angle except hand held. I think the narrow depth of field might help the illusion anyway?
PCB is an old AMD Radeon 7700. Happy Macro Monday
We had a new alarm fitted at work today and the chap who was doing it left the old board near my desk. It was destined for the bin so I had to crack it open and rescue it. I think I have a problem :)
Once home I shone my torch behind it and couldn't wait for it to go dark as there were some beautiful designs hidden within.
Pentax on the macro extension tubes, back lit focusing on the middle of the board then a quick sweep in red from above.
I was going to double it with another element but I shall save that for another time.

British weather is raining cats and dogs outside again which means I end up shooting at the kitchen table. Lens and tripod swap faffery shot in one photographic exposure

Taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Deep DoF"
The challenge gave me an excuse to try something I've not done before, which was focus stacking. The image is a composite of four separate images each focussed at different points on the PCB, then selectively merged keeping the in-focus sections of each image [by manually erasing the unfocussed parts of each layer]

Not exactly a fine Summer's day this so the regular open top Enviro on the 25 took a break and in its place a familiar sight over the years.
Currently the only 54 plate Dart in operational use, this being the last order of the Alexander/Pointer type by Citybus (when still under Council ownership) before switching to purchasing E200s from new so a significant batch.

Note, PCB 25 was delivered to Blackburn on 3rd October 1962 and entered service on 1st November 1962
