A very famous puffer from Neil Muro's - The Para Handy Tales - a highly successful TV series in Scotland and novel. All about the hapless crew of the Vital Spark who played their trade around the Scottish Islands moving cargo of various types including Whisky to & fro to Glasgow. Much impressed with the performance of my new toy the Sigma 24mm Art Lens which seems to see more than the other lens I have been using up till now.
For this week's Macro Monday theme "Hot or Cold". Making metal catch on fire.
First of some fun playing with various shutter speeds.
Canon EOS 6D - f/16- 25sec - 100 mm - ISO 200
- for challenge Flickr group: Macro Mondays, theme: Wheel(s)
- sparkwheels
- width of a sparkwheel: 1 cm
- The day I stopped smoking I removed all the sparkwheels from the lighters that were lying around in the house
- A spark wheel is made of serrated, hardened steel wire. When it is rotated with sufficient speed and force, it will strike a bar of flint within the lighter, creating a spark.
It can be a bit intimidating asking a stranger on the street for permission to take a portrait, but this is exactly what I did on this occasion after a day in Newtown a few years ago. She was with her friend taking selfies next to a wall full of colourful but messy graffiti. After the usual minute of so of battling with my alter ego doing it’s best to convince me to walk away, I approached her to ask if she would like her picture taken. She kindly obliged and after after a few clicks we both really settled down and got the confidence to figure out some good shots that she and her friend would like with the light that we had left.
In this portrait, I elected a panoramic crop with a focus on the catchlight in her eye as I felt that the background was too distracting. The black and white conversion with a little grain applied seems to fit my mood lately so here is the result.
Have a great Sunday!

After battling the flu and a very snow-less winter it was nice to get out and enjoy a sunset at my favorite spot.

If you take a journey to Loch Fyne and the historic town of Inverary, take a wee trip along to the famous old harbour and see the Vital Spark, it is a rather famous old puffer that used to travel up and down the length of these waters on the west coast of Scotland.
