" There's a possibility,

There's a possibility,

All that I had, was all I'm gonn' get.

mmmmmmm......

There's a possibility,

There's a possibility,

All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare.

All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare.

So tell me when you hear my heart stop

You're the only one who knows.

Tell me when you hear my silence.

There's a possibility I wouldn't know .. "

🎶 Sorry about the earworm 🎶…..

It was as either this one or the mini Oreos and the Cookie Monster singing in my head won out!!

The Macro Mondays theme for tomorrow, 11/7, is biscuits, or - on this side of the pond - cookies. These are one of the six varieties I bought to photograph. Luckily there is someone who will help eat them, to save me from myself… giggling.

Btb, I’ll put up a size verification in a bit- each letter is just one inch square.

We all like a bit of sun light when we're out with our camera's., but just sometimes it's a blessing when it's hidden behind clouds

This incredibly pale coloured Barn Owl was conveniently hunting in a field near the road., so brakes on and out we got

If the sun had been beating down he was so pale it would have taken a 'ton' of minus compensation and super high shutter speeds to have avoided a glowing smudge on the finished shots

And there was no time to be fiddling with., and then balancing all of that

So for once dull was good!

i walked to the park, assuming the waning light was too dim for photography. yet i found a puddle softly illuminated with sunset light. another reminder: there’s possibility in every moment and beauty need not be grand.

I love the endless possibilities of SL. We can create a piece of a perfect world here.

An advantage of going to this location is the possibility of getting close enough (with a long lens) for a sharp portrait. That, of course, is up to the birds and I never got one I liked in the past. A good closeup was a priority today and the photo gods smiled on me. Needless to say, this is one of nature's most enchanting creatures.

#MacroMonday

#unusualpatterns

Weather forecast on a knife blade. On a Damascus steel knife blade, to be precise. Not what I initially had in mind, but that so often is the case when it's one of the "MM themes of the 1000 possibilities". Usually, for such a wide theme, I only have a few vague ideas what I could do for it, and the end result is pretty much a random surprise of what looks, firstly, most interesting through the macro lens, and, secondly, best as a photo, of course. Also, what is easy when it's not asked for - such as finding interesting patterns - becomes nearly impossible when it's required: patterns positively seemed to escape me as I went looking for them around the apartment ;-) And when I saw the knife in the kitchen (I hadn't even considered it as a possibility) I just thought "OK, that's probably very boring, but I'll give it a try." As for the "macro lens surprise", that was that not only did the banding typical for Damascus steel looked like waves (often an intended effect, but I only learned about that when I did my research on Damascus steel for the description and the tags), but those scratches from sharpening the knife that you can see in the upper part of the image also looked like heavy rain. And here it was, unfolding before my eyes: the high seas tempest.

The setup for the photo was as simple as it gets: I simply propped the knife, sharp side of the blade up, against a jar of sugar (my photo studio also doubles as breakfast and dinner table), both of it sitting on top of a heavy book to give it the same height as my camera on its small table top tripod, positioned one LED lamp (warm light) at the side of the table and grabbed my LED torch (cold light) to illuminate the blade from above (which also added the ever so slight 3D effect on the upper part of the blade), enabled the in-camera focus-stacking function, and hit the shutter button. I shot three focus stacking sequences of different parts of the knife of which this looked best.

Processing steps: The cold / warm light effect is something I get quite often when I use different light sources as above mentioned. It even works with one artificial light source (provided it gives warm light) and daylight from the window. Here I liked the split tone effect very much because I think it adds more depth to image. I wish I could have achieved the vivid colours you see here entirely by the use of light and the use of a colour filter (warm-cold or a combination of a cooling and a warming filter), but I've only recently considered to buy a few photo filters to improve my landscape photography, and since a good filter is expensive, I think I will buy one or two more versatile filters first before checking out the more exotic colour filters. So the colour enhancement here was done in Lightroom, where I tweaked the saturation and luminance of the blue, yellow and orange tones, and then in Nik's Color Efex, where, as final touch, I applied a Bi-color filter. I hope that these processing steps are deemed OK according to the new MM rules regarding the editing of an MM shot. I also did some sharpening and de-noising in Topaz Sharpen AI ("Focus" yielded the best result).

HMM, Everyone, and have a beautiful and safe week ahead!

A possibility for the Macro Mondays theme of flexible. There are three possibilities- now to dither, although I’m leaning toward the silver links bracket with the little red heart bead…..

…..Dithering done- decided on this one bc I haven’t had one with a bit of blue for a couple of weeks.. grin

I might just be the Unicorn you are looking for...

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

Emily Dickinson ( 1830 – 1886 )

HMM- the macromonday theme for today, 10/21, is stationery-- anything used to write with or write on :) methinks i have a couple to choose from........ my favorite is the blue 2-in-1 pen and stylus, but it's dusty and that's driving me crazy so this one is my choice (see the first comment box for the stylus/pen)

btb, this packet of pencils is 2 inches, side to side
