Macro Mondays - Bird

 

This fellow comes out at Christmastime...

 

Speedlight with reflector bowl and diffuser left, white reflector card right, speedlight flagged on background from above.

 

The owl is 2.375 inches tall.

For Macro Mondays - National.

Authentic American League baseball circa 1974.

 

This is a separate shot, taken at a higher magnification with the light from the snoot moved up and feathered toward the back.

 

Baseball, America's "National Pastime," is now third in viewership behind NFL football and NBA basketball - soccer is in fourth place.

 

Major league baseballs are covered in tanned cowhide which is otherwise unfinished, and are then hand-rubbed with Lena Blackburne rubbing mud. A major-league team uses on average about 15,000 baseballs per season.

 

A regulation baseball is 2.86 to 2.94 inches in diameter.

 

A few plants and seed heads

For Macro Mondays - Symmetry

 

Strobe bare bulb in softbox as scrim, back; snoot from 45° right front.

 

In radial (or rotational) symmetry, bisecting an object through a central point will produce two symmetric halves, and this can be carried out through a 360° rotation. Echinoderms, which include starfish, exhibit radial symmetry, as do many flowers.

 

The central disc of the sunflower exhibits radial symmetry, while the ray florets (the yellow petals) each exhibit bilateral symmetry.

 

Approximately two inches in greatest dimension.

"We Dance to the Beat"

Robyn

 

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of the continents shifting under our feet

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of a new, better, faster breed

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of radioactivity blocking the exits

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of false math and unrecognised genius

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of distorted knowledge passed on

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of a distant rumble

We dance to the beat

We dancing

And it's loud and proud

And it's loud and proud

And it's loud and proud

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of silent mutation

We dance to the beat of your brain not evolving fast enough

We dance to the beat of raw talent wasted

We dance to the beat of bad kissers clicking teeth

We dance to the beat of opportunity knocking

We dance to the beat of an eviction next door

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

Of another recycled rebellion

Of consolidating assets

Of another crowd losing it

Of your voice breaking up in static

Of suburbia burning

Of communication gone mad

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

And we don't stop

And we don't stop

And we don't stop

And we don't stop

And we don't stop

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

And we don't stop

And we don't stop

We dance to the beat of a billion charges of endorphin

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of a love lost and then won back

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of source code and conjuring

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of gravity giving us a break

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat

We dance...

Profile portrait in black and white.

This is a screw from my eyeglass repair kit which is in the background. It is disappointing to throw out perfectly good sunglasses or reading glasses, especially glasses that I have loved wearing.

 

And that is why the tiny screw comes out. Too much on and off! And often the missing screw is discovered only on the next wearing. Which means you can't find it.

 

So I invested in a repair kit. Hundreds of tiny screws of various sizes and more. Plus tiny screw drivers and tiny metal washers.

 

Who knew you could get this kind of stuff, until Amazon came along.

Strobe with reflector and diffuser left.
