I thought of my husband when I photographed this flower. He is a violin maker. This flower has its own beautiful scrolls. They remind me of the scrolls of his violins. Well, art imitates life all of the time. I like all types of art because art makes me feel and feeling is an essential part of being alive. A good day, afternoon, evening or night to all!

Since their founding, the Marble Sisters had only one task: to watch the archives. They spent every day caring for the scrolls; returning borrowed texts, replacing fragments too torn or faded to understand, and, every once in a while, creating new manuscripts to join the ranks of the endless rows in their vast library. Although the sisters were able to achieve great knowledge and wisdom thanks to the scrolls, they received a curse as well: a hunger, a never-ceasing addiction for more knowledge. This drove most of the sisters to madness, however, those who managed to control their urge gained more than anyone could possibly imagine...

Built for Brickscalibur in the 12x12 vignette category.
I decided to build this as my entry for the 12x12 category after I was inspired by some concept art for the wheel of time Amazon show. I figured I'd venture beyond libraries and books and take my chances with some scrolls instead. Let me know what you think!
Feedback is always appreciated,
Happy Building!

Width of the scroll: 4,2 cm / 1,6 inches
Scrolled. Or screwed. Almost. Why? Because I almost managed to break my violin, the macro lens and the camera while taking this shot. What had happened? Well, in order to get the best shooting distance without piling box upon box and then my small table top tripod on top of it all, I mounted my camera on my small traveller tripod, camera pointing lens down to my violin's neck and scroll. So far, so good. I should mention, however, that, while the camera was mounted tightly and safely on the tripod, I had placed my violin on several cardboard boxes to get the right distance to the camera and the background. You know what was happening next, don't you? So I moved the violin, because the scroll wasn't quite centered, then thought "Why not move the tripod instead?," and... bang. Because the boxes moved as well. Next thing I know is that I still tried to catch the camera, but too late, the camera on tripod fell right onto my violin's neck. I heard a nasty sound. And thought "That's it." After a short moment of shock I thought, "OK, so you had a filter and the lens hood (which was still on the lens, but at a rather weird angle) attached, so the lens and camera are probably OK." They were. Phew. Then I took an anxious look at my violin. Still OK as well. Another phew. As it is, the lens hood (which is retractable, it's rather cool) had taken most of the impact, and all that actually happened was that the E-string broke. Huge phew. And the moral of this story? Don't place your stuff on cardboard boxes. Oh, and I forgot: this was lit from below and the side (right).
Needless to say I decided to stop taking more captures afterwards. It was late again anyway. Processed, as usual, in Luminar (develop filter, Accent-Al filter, detail enhancer, microstructure). Then on to Nik's Silver Efex for the black and white conversion. I started off with a preset this time, the "full spectrum inverted" (my translation, it's preset no. 018) which I still tweaked a little, then back to LR for finishing touches (colour preset "high contrast and details", yes, it works for b&w images as well 😉).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Zur Schnecke gemacht
Fast. Fast wären nämlich meine Geige und mein Makroobjetiv bei dieser Aktion zu Bruch gegangen. Was war passiert? Um die nötige Distanz zum Motiv, der Schnecke meiner Geige, zu bekommen, hatte ich dieses Mal vernünftigerweise die Kamera gleich kopfüber am (nicht ausgefahrenen) kleinen Manfrotto Elements befestigt, anstatt wie sonst üblich einen Karton auf den anderen zu stapeln und zum Schluss das kleine Tischstativ obendrauf zu stellen. So weit, so gut, so sicher. Dafür kamen besagte Kartons aber als Unterlage für die Geige zum Einsatz, um genug Abstand zum Hintergrund zu haben und noch ein Stückchen näher an die Kamera zu kommen (das Makro hat 19 cm Mindestabstand). Es kam, wie es kommen musste, ich arrangierte die Schnecke noch ein wenig mittiger, verrückte dann das Stativ noch ein bisschen - und die Kartons verrückten sich dann wie von Zauberhand selbst, was das Stativ zum Umkippen brachte. Natürlich direkt auf den Hals meiner Geige. Krack. Ich dachte schon "Das war's", aber nach einer kurzen Schrecksekunde konnte ich feststellen, dass die (aus- und einfahrbare) Gegenlichtblende den Sturz abgefedert hatte. Uff. Nicht mal der Filter hatte was abbekommen. Die Geige auch nicht. Lediglich die E-Saite war gerissen. Glück gehabt. Danach habe ich die Kamera dann aber abgebaut und die Geige wieder sicher verstaut, Lust auf weitere Kopfüber-Makros hatte ich nicht mehr. Aber zum Glück war ein brauchbares Foto im Kasten, das ich dann in Luminar (vor-)entwickelt habe (regulärer Entwickeln-Filter, Accent-Al-Filter, Details und Microstruktur) und in Niks Silver Efex in SW umgewandelt habe. Hier habe ich als Startpunkt ausnahmsweise mal eine der Voreinstellungen (018, "vollständiges Spektrum invertiert") genommen und dann noch ein bisschen angepasst. In LR habe ich dann noch die Voreinstellung "Farbe - Hoher Kontrast / Details (ja, funktioniert auch bei SW-Bildern 😉) für mehr "Knackigkeit" verwendet. Ach ja, beleuchtet hatte ich das Ganze von rechts und von unten.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

I've just been going through some stuff from last spring as I've not taken many pics recently. This is of an old ornate gate at Plas Tan-y-Bwlch in North Wales.
Challenge this week is curves. I went to my favorite instrument for inspiration. This is a closeup of the scroll of my cello.
Taken with camera on shoe and rapidly removed before the wave hit! Don't try this if your reflexes are slow as salt water is bad for cameras!

This image won't be for everyone. I would be surprised if it garners even a pause as you scroll by on your image feed. While I was culling photos from earlier months, I came across a series that I shot at Hydro, in March of this year. It was a dark and gloomy spring evening, where the rain was alternating between steady, and of monsoon quantities.
Something about the image caught my attention though. Beyond the inherent grain from shooting at 8,000 ISO, the low shutter speed had produced a bloom effect with the lights which reminds me of the way that slide film would behave in similar situations. This intrigued me enough to spend half an hour playing around with the file between three different software programs, before reaching the result I present above. I had to remove much of the grain effect in Topaz to get a balance of the other properties that I liked.
Let me know what you think.
For those that are interested in the scene itself, CN eastbound marine stack train Q106 is entering the CN Yale Sub mainline off of the short, two mile long Rawlison Sub. The Rawlison Sub was built as part of the BC Harbours Board Railway project in the late 1960's, which was the rail component of the project to create the Roberts Bank "superport" for the export of metallurgical coal from mines in BC's southeast. Holding the south track, and waiting for its turn down the Rawlison is CP's daily A71 transfer job from Coquitlam Yard to Deltaport at Roberts Bank. Typically this transfer brings containers that arrived via the downtown Vancouver terminals of Vanterm or Centerm to Roberts Bank to be sent out with the eastbound 148 or 114 trains, or containers to be shipped out via Roberts Bank that arrived into Coquitlam from the east on the 101, or 113 trains. Today, A71 is just a solo AC4400CWM, being sent to augment the power already at Roberts Bank for an upcoming eastbound intermodal.
