Different coloured reels of cotton, some old inherited reels that look like they have been used on a spool on a sewing machine (in the foreground) and other more recent reels in the background.
Taken for the Macro Monday theme of 'Cotton'
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!
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.
This very early Super Simplex 35mm film movie projector from the early 1930's on display in the Warner Theater, Torrington, CT, and was manufactured by The Precision Machine Co., New York, NY.
Edwin S. Porter, director of “The Great Train Robbery”, left the employ of Edison, bought the Precision Machine Company and produced the Simplex projector in 1909. He had improved the design of the Edison Exhibition Kinetoscope and was responsible for the Super Simplex, which was introduced in the early 1930s. The Simplex line of projectors was one of the most popular American Brands from the silent era until the transition to digital projection. Simplex projectors were originally manufactured by the Precision Machine Company. Over the course of a series of mergers and consolidations, the Simplex line was manufactured by the International Projector Corporation, General Precision, Inc., National Theater Supply. This is a museum-worthy projector is of significant historical importance. The best of early movie history and an amazing survivor.

Happy Macro Monday
Thank you for your views, faves and or comments, they are greatly appreciated !!!
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.

Ningú havia vist aquestes fotos fins ara, sobretot els que les varen fer. Fins que jo les he revelat ara.
Aquestes finestres son la única imatge visible d'un rodet en un horrible estat de conservació. No només s'havia mullat completament en algun moment (el paper estava completament enganxat a la pel·licula), sino arrugat en més d'un punt, quasi no el vaig poder carregar al revelador.
S'anomena "found film" a aquelles fotografies en pel•licula o placa que es troben sense revelar dins càmeres velles o per altres racons. La gracia és que ningú ha vist mai aquestes fotografies.
Aquest rodet prové un conjunt comprat a algú de Barró, prop d'Angulema, a França.
Aquest rodet, de format 120, de Kodak Verichrome, i pertant segurament exposat entre els anys 40 i 50 (es produí entre 1931 i 1956). El vaig revelar amb HC110 uns 10 minuts.
===================================================
Nobody, even less the author, had seen these pictures until now. Until I've developed them in the dark room.
This façade is the only useable picture in a quite damaged roll of film. It had been completely damp at some point (the backing paper was glued to the film), and it was wrinkled so I almost couldn't load into the reel. The pictures were probably taken in the 40's or 50's of the XX Century.
They call "found film" at those images in film or plates that are find undeveloped inside old cameras or in other places, like boxes or old houses.
This film is part of a large pack I bought in the internet from somebody in Barro, near Angouleme, France.
This one was a 127 format Kodak Verichrome film, produced from 1931 to 1956; stand developed with HC110 in c.10 minutes.
A common obsession here on the coast: Collecting and using them. These belong to one of the fellas here on the farm.
This couple was enjoying the afternoon fishing in the bayou. They had not caught anything yet, but there were plenty of fish jumping around. It was only a matter of time and patience. Caddo Lake, Texas, USA, November 2022

An old spinning reel that I pulled out for this week's Macro Mondays theme - Reels. I quickly fell into 2001 mode, and the image is way too big. I didn't find many macro takes that motivated me, so I am going to keep looking...

A nice week to everyone
thank you for watching - HMM
Kampong-Chhnang (Cambodge) - Nous sommes toujours sur les rives de la rivière « Tonlé Sap » . L’homme porte une charge d’environ 60 kilos de coquillages, malgré les 40 kilos annoncés sur le sac. J'en ai soulevé un et je peux affirmer que 40 kilos, c'est de la rigolade à côté du poids réel. Ces coquillages (genre coques) ont été pêchés dans la journée. L’homme les transborde (pieds-nus), un à un, dans un camion qui partira livrer son chargement à Phnom-Penh, à 90 km au Sud de Kampong-Chhnang.
Shellfish transport
Kampong-Chhnang (Cambodia) - We are still on the banks of the “Tonle Sap” river. The man carries a load of about 60 kg of shells, despite 40 kilos advertised on the bag. I lifted one and can say 40 pounds is a joke next to the actual weight. These shells (like cockles) were caught during the day. Man tranships the (barefoot) these bags, one by one, in a truck that will leave deliver its cargo in Phnom Penh, 90 km south of Kampong Chhnang.
