Paper daisies in front of the lavender bushes in our garden, with just a touch of dewy moisure on them. 70mm with a tube.
I like paper. I like the feel of it. I like the smell of ink on it. I like its swag after a publisher gets its hands on it.
The grain of the paper on one side and tiny black dots from the printing process of a photograph that is imprinted on top of that grain on the other side can be seen more clearly here in this macro closeup.
This is a small section of the cover of a 1945 issue of New Pacific, a former monthly magazine that reported the news from the perspective of Hawaii.
Eye to eye with a Paper wasp -- Found this little fella towards the end of fall, as night time temperatures were starting to get down into the single digits, the inverts that were around moved slower then molasses... Now if only they were always this cooperative... T'is but a dream 😌 (#Polistes sp.?)
Single shot
In situ
Ok, ok, so another pic quite soon after the last. I just can't stay away it seems.
But true to my word of something more recent, here we have the first of some shots I took on a recent trip to Perth.
I couldn't resist the temptation of the sun setting over the water and nabbing a few evening silhouettes against the ocean.
Looking forward to finishing my catch up over the evening.
Glück = Happiness
Paper bag lanterns - I took a close up of the smaller hearts bag for Macro Mondays. To be safe I put the candle in a clear (drinking) glass inside the bag.
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 Art. Detail from Unfamiliar Landscape after Pink Tsunami, 2017. By Japanese artist Ai Hashimoto. At Paper Biennale in Museum Rijswijk Nl, 2018.
More paper art from this exhibition at:
steam turbine made by Simmering Graz Pauker (SGP - Bauart Gutehoffnungshütte) and AEG-Union generator
Abandoned paper mill and power plants - part 1, the Paper Factory
artwork named "Blank Paper" and looked like paper but instead not paper…
… taken at the M+ Sigg Collection Exhibition four decades of Chinese contemporary art ...
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. (extracted from the tour guide of the exhibition)
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.
hung out with with my friend david today - we both took some photos of kristi.
this photo probably makes no sense, haha.. well i know what its supposed to mean but you all should make up your own stories - i dont like writing about what i intend to say just because i dont think my story is any better than yours. ;)
love the portrait on my facebook more. ;)
p.s. this paper bag is actually my bag of painting supplies... i thought of this idea when i saw it in my room. i walked out with the bag and told kristi and david my idea, and then kristi mentioned i should remove the container of wax paper so it didnt look like a booze bottle. ROFL.
