This is my entry for this week’s Macro Mondays theme of ‘Monochrome’ i.e. the use of a single colour, rather than a restriction to black and white. I’m usually hopeless at finding things to photograph, but I sought inspiration in the kitchen drawers and, for once, found it in the shape of these measuring spoons. To give you an idea of scale (and to conform to the 3” macro requirement of the group) the smallest is a ¼ teaspoon, then a ½, then a full teaspoon, then a tablespoon. It was shot in colour, using a Canon 6D with an EF100mm f/2.8L Macro lens and a Yongnuo speedlite bounced off the ceiling, completely desaturated, and then a cold filter added.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'kitchen'.
My morning cereal bowl and a tea-spoon.
This started off as a simple idea! - KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Like a lot of simple ideas, it didn't turn out quite as simple in practice! No real issues with lighting - just a single desk lamp -
Issues though with focus!
I would have liked the focus on the rim of the bowl to 'be inline' with the focus on the tip of the spoon - and I've just missed out! The bowl needs to be a bit further away from the camera than it is - how much? Probably 2-3 mm. And then the perspective changes !!!
I lined everything up by eye and I always find it difficult to reconcile what I see and what the camera sees - and it shows again here. It doesn't help with the camera tripod being right against the table-top either. I can never get my eye in the same place as my camera lens.
There wasn't any 'real' colour in the objects and very little possibility of getting any into the picture in the right place - wherever that might be! So I didn't try.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Measurement" (September 24th 2018)
Not exactly imaginative - I ran out of time! So just a small nested set of plastic measuring spoons. The smallest is 1/8th of a teaspoon and the largest measures a little over 1" across.
Happy Measuring Macro Monday!

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
Following the trend for reflecting things from tablets and phones. Image flipped so the text is the correct way round in the spoon.
Macro Mondays Junk Drawer
This is from my bakIng junk drawer. I thought the measuring spoons were very interesting with shapes, colors, sizes, and form. And now I have all the measuring spoons in one place so maybe my junk drawer isn't quite as junky!

"Next time I see you. I promise." I've known Spoon for a little over a year now, and I've asked him intermittently if I could take his picture. That's what he always told me.
I left him no choice this time. We were talking as a group (me, him, and Tommy), and with a little help from Tommy, he let me take his picture.
I think, more than anything, it says something about the trust we have built up between the us. They know that these pictures are personal to me, not exploitative. There isn't much more "in it" for me other than my love of my work, the fact that this work has the added benefit of raising donations that in turn help them. And, just as important as anything, any one of them can "disappear" at the drop of a hat, so the record of our friendship is something that will always be there.
This is the second (and the last...) shot about spoon river ; I know I can be boring, but, believe me, I like it so much...

Questo è il secondo (e ultimo, giuro...) scatto relativo a spoon river; so di essere forse noioso, ma, credetemi, mi piace così tanto...

My Purple Spoon Osteospermun were looking lovely in today's sunshine. I did go out for a drive and took my camera but due to the excessive number of roadworks and poor signage, got totally lost when trying to find the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens. I was most annoyed and should have put Mr Google on and checked the website of the gardens before going. So these flowers will have to do.
Tomorrow of course will return us to col, windy and rainy days. A Lensbaby Sweet 50 shot.
I always get inspired by all of you here on Flickr… Thank you so much ;) This way I got the idea to shoot ordinary kitchen objects and create unusual images with those. Well that’s not a unique project but I liked the idea… This should be the first one out of a small series.
Strobist info: I used two 80cm x 80cm softboxes with two YN560III (triggered by a YN560TX). Each of them was positioned on one side. Additionally I pointed a YN568EX from behind the camera towards the spoon.

Pak Thale, Thailand. It is critically endangered with fewer than 1,000 left. There were at least three individuals there feeding in the salt pans where salt water had been gathered from the sea and left to dry for salt, leaving the tiny sea creatures as open game for visiting waders. The spoon-billed sandpiper which are threatened by habitat loss on its breeding grounds and loss of tidal flats through its migratory and wintering range. You can find a video of the extraordinary efforts taken to try and save this critically endangered species here: www.wwt.org.uk/what-we-do/saving-wildlife/science-and-act.... The video shows the same species in breeding plumage.
