COMBINE TO MAKE A SUBJECT

Macro Mondays and the theme of "Pick Two"

This week I decided to go for the words "Pink" and "Pen" from the two lists of words and use my mini highlighter pen as the subject.

I decided to draw a quick squiggle on a piece of white paper and photograph that.

I set the focus at three inches just to be sure and then composed. a little focussing closer was required so it is within the size guidelines.

Beverage Ice bar effect with UV light. Macro, achromatic diopter.

I'm still working out my technique, but the idea is to create a series of oil sheen abstracts. In this case, the 'oil' is really clear nail polish on a two inch water puddle.

Mellow Yellow bottle-cap drowning in our local "Ottakringer" brew - recently awarded European Gold Medals.

Taken with a special version of the well-known and highly regarded SMC Pentax-M 50mm f:1.7 lens, mounted on a helicoid extension-tube, with the camera on a 3-way head and focusing-rack, just to make things easier!

Within the optical system the lens has been fitted with a concentrically-bored metal disc, and was one of a pair used for stereo photography - so it would be something of a half-truth to claim that it's unique! Anyway, that's what creates the unusual bokeh.

The bottle-cap is resting on a very mundane and well-used pot-scrub, and lit-up with Manfrotto LEDs fitted with yellow filters to achieve the bubbly beery gold effect.

#MacroMondays #PickTwo .... a possibility.

This may be the most useful of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. I’ll probably put them all up and then dither

"The Meisterstück Solitaire Blue Hour LeGrand introduces itself as a precious, blue lacquered Solitaire product with platinum-coated fittings. The magical hour between daylight and night - the Blue Hour - creates a smooth contrast and breathtaking mood, which served as design inspiration. The hexagon pattern on the barrel and cap reflects the refraction of lights and night traffic in urban cities." montblanc.com
