Macro Mondays and for "Pick Two" I decided to go with "Damaged" and "Glass" from the lists of words.

This did mean buying a bottle of drink and then damaging it once it was empty. I took precautions by wearing a glove and wrapping the bottle in a bag before giving it a few whacks on to a concrete pathway. As I hoped, the neck of the bottle remained intact

The blue colour is from setting the white balance to Incandescent for the flash exposure.

#56 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby

Macro Monday - Pick two - I chose pottery and curves.

This is a tiny coffee cup and saucer from a set I bought from a charity shop some time ago. In the saucer are some little petals that came about by accident. One night I took some Gaviscon (a pink liquid to ease heartburn) and must have spilt a drop on the worktop. When I came down the next morning there was a pretty pink dried Gaviscon petal. I instantly thought how nice that might look in a photo so made some more.

I used my Lensbaby Sweet 35 and macro converter. I find it incredibly hard to get perfect focus with this lens but like the soft focus and blur from the Sweet so will embrace the blur...a term I love and have borrowed from Flickr friend Andrew www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom/ HMM

- Pink & Flower -

A "Happy Macro Monday" and stay healthy!

A striped brush.

More precisely, it's a sonic toothbrush replaceable head, whose stripes race side-to-side at roughly 250 hertz, or 15,000 oscillations per minute, to do its plaque-busting task. (For comparison, the electricity from your outlet alternates at 50 or 60 Hz, depending on your country.)

The stripes are not all show and no go. The dye in the dark blue pair of bristles fade with use, giving a visual indication the brush head needs replacing.

For the Macro Monday challenge "Pick Two" (January 21st 2019)

A fascinating challenge this week! Loved it! To pick a subject and then an adjective to describe it - and make a 3" macro to match the two that you have chosen

List A: Iridescent, Fuzzy, Twisted, Damaged, Speckled

List B: Glass, Toy, Candy, Plant, Abstract

I've been shooting two glass vases that have twists in the glass, looking for interesting effects. So I was drawn to "Twisted Glass" as my combination. This shot is not from the vases, but a small liqueur glass with a twisted stem and holder for the 'cup'. The portion I shot is shown in the first comment field, set against the 2x3" credit card I use as my size guide for MM

Happy Macro Monday! ;o)

Lensbaby "double-glass": Here

The theme for this picture is "pottery" and "curved". Both the markings and the shapes are curved here. This piece is from a small collection of German pottery from the 1950's which have a similar kind of colour and very distinctive graphic markings.
