Fisherman fishing off the wharf
Bedford Channel, Fraser River
Fort Langley, BC
Across the channel, a ribbon of campfire smoke escapes through the trees.
Fort Langley is a village community forming part of the Township of Langley in British Columbia, Canada. It has a population of 3,400. It is the home of Fort Langley National Historic Site, a former fur trade post of the Hudson's Bay Company. Lying on the Fraser River, Fort Langley is at the northern edge of the Township of Langley.

A special thanks to you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I appreciate your visits & kind words of support.

Macro Monday - Wood
These are miniature wooden cotton reels, from my craft stash, the smallest is about 2cm high and the largest about 5cm. HMM
I got locked out of my Flickr account today, I don't know if it was because I'm not on Flickr so much or if it was just being a bad panda but luckily after a while it recognised my password. Anyone else had this problem?
Got obsessed with:
Juxtaposition of colour
Detail in the thread
The tops of the reels
How the light plays on the overlapping thread
Ended up with a bit of all of the above.
Was never going to be an issue with finding thread in our house as my wife loves leatherwork and our son is off to Uni to study textile design!
When you reelize that all the slips on the fishing boat side of the harbor are being used and you have to park it with the private boats.
Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
Reel-to-reel machine + Magnetic tape 7 ½ ips, 4-Track Stereo, Double album, K3002, Polydor, 1971.
Below is a quote from Wikipedia:
"...Back to the Roots is a 1971 double album by John Mayall released on Polydor. Recording sessions took place both in California and London where Mayall invited some former members of his band, notably guitarists Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor.
At the end of the 1980s Mayall remixed some tracks and issued them along with some of the older material as Archives to Eighties. An expanded two-CD version of Back to the Roots now includes both the original and later remixed versions of the tracks..."
Very old photo film Svema "Foto-65"
Pentax 67
Smc Macro Pentax 135/4
Autumn 2022
This is the take up spool on an Ihagee 500 35mm camera. These East German cameras were really rather well built. The spool on this 500 has a rather nice anodised green cap on the bottom end. The whole back of the camera slides off to load a film and there doesn't look to be any particularly suitable slot for the anodised cap to sit in, yet it all works rather nicely. Shot here with a green flash pointing down and away and red flash right onto the spool. There is around 2.25 inches of scene here. HMM
A tape cassette that hasn't been played in decades. There is a box full of tapes like this in the basement and no cassette player within miles. The image covers about 65mm top to bottom . HMM and thanks for any views, faves and comments.
Our friend has been at it for some time now. I haven't seen him keep anything yet, several throw backs but still he persists. My fishing days are long behind me, now I cast for photos.
Part of a tape dispenser with the tape seen from the side and part of the reel.
This is 4 cm.
Happy Macro Monday
Thank you for your views, faves and or comments, they are greatly appreciated !!!
Better late than never, I guess. As so often happens, when I can't decide what to do for a challenge, my vintage button collection comes to my rescue. This is a French champlevé enamel button from the 1900s and it's 1" wide.
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, High Key.
My favourite genre is Still Life and I'm hoping at some point I will be able to get back into the regular swing of it _ maybe I could get myself some sort of back support to avoid the inevitable aches and pains! I do find heat pads particularly soothing. Ha ha - forgive my ramblings - this is supposed to be about photography !
My contribution for this weeks Macro Mondays. My favourite thread for presents got to be my object for today sitting on its reel.
A beautiful day for boating and railfanning finds the "Reel E Wet" 's Captain and Crew watching a CN Coalie for SunCoke Energy's Convent Marine terminal at Convent Louisiana - cross over the divide between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Marurepas, known as Manchac Pass on CN's McComb Sub. A fairly buzy spot on most afternoons finds Both Amtraks, both CN core trains and usually an extra or two to waste your time between the sun, sights and cold Coronas.. Shot from "The Gator Dens' pier- this is a friendly not half bad place to just hang out and watch the parade.. And keep refreshed!
Exposition photographique de Giandra De Castro : A Fleur d’Eau au Parc Floral de Paris
"Giandra de Castro, photographe d’art et ambassadrice de l’eau, présente “À Fleur d’Eau”. Cette exposition de photographies sans retouches offre une expérience sensorielle et poétique, et invite à redécouvrir avec émerveillement tout l’art qui se présente à fleur d’eau. Ces photographies sans retouches évoquent tour à tour l’Impressionnisme, le surréalisme, l’abstraction aussi bien que l'expressionnisme. Les choix de cadrage, les jeux des reflets dans l’eau, les mouvements de l’eau se conjuguent pour troubler vos repères spatiaux et faire émerger la part de rêve contenue dans le réel." A voir jusqu'au 24 novembre 2024.
