And sharp as a knife...
Macro Monday: #Danger
Width of the frame: 3 cm / 1,18 inches
Oh, how much I hate to accidentally cut myself on paper. And how much more often has that happenend compared to a knive accident in the kitchen. We are surrounded by potentially dangerous things, aren't we? And one of those things is the inconspicious paper, evil in the guise of the daily newspaper, a book, a white, empty sheet of paper, the information leaflet... Admittedly, I've slightely exaggerated the consequences here, because a "paper cut" is never that bloody, but it bloody well hurts anyway ;-)
Simple ingredients used: strip of paper (of course), placed on my semi-glossy white tile and fixated with a small piece of modelling clay (which I forgot to remove with the healing [healing!] brush, *sigh*), because the droplet of "blood" always made it fall over. The "blood" consists of water and glycerol, tinted with red watercolour. Glycerol increases the water's surface tension and helps to stabilise the droplets (thank you very much for the advice, Bine&Minka2007!). A 50-50 mixture is recommended, but you should experiment with the mixing ratio, I used a 40 (water) to 60 (glycerol) mixing ratio for this. You can also use glycerol only. Since it is a fairly greasy substance, I'd recommend to have a bottle of make-up remover at hand which works really well to clean the surfaces you've used the glycerol on.
Other uses for glycerol? On the bottle I got from my local chemist it says that fir branches and Christmas trees last longer when you add a little glycerol to the water (4 tablespoons of glycerol in 1 l of water), and it is also recommended as a frost protection agent for rubber seals of, for instance, fridge or car doors. Speaking of frost protection agent... I vaguely remember the 1985 diethylene glycol wine scandal, where Austrian wineries adulterated their wines with diethylene glycerol... but that's an altogether different matter... ;-)
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Nicht von Pappe...
...sondern scharf wie ein Messer kann Papier sein. Papier war sogar das erste, das mir einfiel, als ich das neue MM-Thema erfuhr. Denn wie oft habe ich mich schon versehentlich an Papier geschnitten. Sicherlich öfter als am Küchenmesser, das man ja auch mit entsprechender Sorgfalt handhabt. Papier hingegen, das harmlose Zettelchen, Blatt, der Beipackzettel... ein unachtsamer Moment und... Autsch! Natürlich habe ich hier etwas übertrieben, denn so "blutig" ist ein Papier-Schnitt selten, aber er tut schon ziemlich gemein weh... ;-)
Den schmalen Streifen aus etwas dickerem Papier habe ich mit einem kleinen Kügelchen Knete (das ich auch noch wegzustempeln vergessen habe...) auf der matt-glänzenden Fliese befestigt, weil der "Blutstropfen" das Röllchen immer zum Überkippen brachte. Das "Blut" ist eine Mischung aus Wasser und Glycerin, gefärbt mit roter Wasserfarbe aus dem Tuschkasten. Vielen Dank übrigens an Bine&Minka2007 für den Tipp mit dem Glycerin. Christa macht ja immer die schönsten Tropfenfotos und ich hatte vor einiger Zeit mal nachgefragt, wie sie ihre Tröpfchen stabilisiert. Das recht ölige Glycerin erhöht die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers, sodass die Tropfen fester werden und länger halten. Ich habe gelesen, dass allgemein ein 50-50-Mischverhältnis empfohlen wird, aber man sollte ruhig damit experimentieren, ich hatte z.B. eine 40(Wasser)-zu-60(Glycerin)-Mischung angerührt. Man kann auch das reine Glycerin nehmen. Make-up-Entferner eignet sich übrigens vorzüglich, um das Zeug auch wieder rückstandslos zu entfernen.
Und wofür kann man Glycerin noch verwenden? Auf meinem Fläschchen aus der Apotheke las ich mit Interesse, dass Tannenzweige und der Weihnachtsbaum länger halten, wenn man 4 Esslöffel davon auf einen Liter ihres "Trink"wassers gibt. Außerdem soll es ein hervorragendes Frostschutzmittel für Gummidichtungen z.B. an Kühlschrank- oder Autotüren sein. Apropos Frostschutzmittel... Da gab es doch vor ewiger Zeit (1985, ich musste gleich mal nachschauen) diesen Weinpanscher-Skandal... aber das ist ein anderes Thema ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch eine angenehme Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Paper wasps are vespid wasps and typically refers to members of the vespid subfamily Polistinae, though it often colloquially includes members of the subfamilies Vespinae (hornets and yellowjackets) and Stenogastrinae, discussed elsewhere, which also make nests out of paper. Paper wasp nests are characterized by open combs with down pointing cells. Some types of paper wasps are also sometimes called umbrella wasps, due to the distinctive design of their nests.

The wall hanging sculpture, which resembles a large sheet of paper, is part of Liu Jianhua's practice of rendering objects through porcelain. As he highlights the physical form of the paper, he simultaneously removes the object’s original function and accentuates the different materiality of porcelain and paper.

I strive to be the king of shooting North Carolina's most obscure railroad operations. Being able to see things that no other railfan has seen before is always extremely rewarding and further fuels my ego. On this day, I decided to head down to the Wilmington area for the day to see a mix of Wilmington Terminal, CSX, and some of the industry switchers that can be found outside of the city. This location was one that had really interested me for a long time. International Paper in Riegelwood, a sprawling paper mill with a very large receiving yard and two very attractive EMD endcabs. I'm a huge sucker for endcab switchers, so I had made it a mission to see this operation in action somehow. I first saw it in January, but had arrived too late to get any meaningful photos of them switching the yard. My luck was fantastic this day, however, as I was able to see them assemble a cut of cars for CSX L605 to pick up later in the day. Here, we see GMTX MP15AC #339, formerly CSX 1157, as it heads towards the front of the yard to assemble its consist for interchange. This dark blue variant of GATX's livery sure is sharp. The mill also has another switcher, AKRX SW14 #1411, of obvious IC descent. I'd certainly love to see that thing working some day as well. I have to give a shoutout to the paper mill workers for being very hospitable and letting me get my photos of this operation, as they could've easily kicked me out. Thankfully, they gave me their blessings and I was able to shoot this never-before-seen operation to my hearts content.

I didn't find this as tough a challenge as some seem to have done, my first thought on seeing the topic for this week was ORIGAMI! a hobby of mine from when I was a child. Although I hadn't done any paper folding for about 40 years I quickly found some simple instructions online and produced the flower in less than 5 minutes. I used my sons hand in an effort to show some sense of scale and took four exposures, the best of which is this weeks submission. I hope you like it. Regards Andy.

This small paper flower came from my Niece's Harry Potter themed wedding. All the paper flowers were made by the Bride, her sister and their friends using parts of pages from Harry Potter books!
just white paper
A ream of A4 white paper, ripped open and an 8pt HMM printed on the folded sheet. What more can I say, except in the lead up to this assignment I made 2 water bombs, a heart, 3 paper aeroplanes and a rather sick looking Swan. I went for the ream of paper instead

The ceiling tiles were each individually nailed in place (not adhered) on a suspended grid of wooden furring strips. Nails were each hidden inside perforation holes. Surface of center tile has been peeled away showing brown, cellulosic, non-asbestos fiber matrix; asbestos paper shows slight yellow aging.
