Taken this evening at Dell Quay Marina near Chichester. I took 25 pictures over an hour and a half standing in cold water just to get this one good one. So don't worry when the pro on his vlog tells you he always does it in one. Maybe he does maybe he doesn't. Most of us don't.

I used an ND 4 grad filter as the sky was so bright with the sun starting to dip down to the right.
I also used an ND10 to get the effect on the water but also to try and get as much colour in the frame as I could as the sun was starting to go behind a massive bank of cloud just out shot.

Macro Mondays #InsideElectronics
7DWF: Anything Goes
Height of the frame: 5,4 cm / 2,1 inches
In the year 2112, Starship Cygnus X-1, Rush category, the flagship of the X-Cans fleet, silently orbits planet Samba on an Amazing Journey through the Musical Fidelity Universe. It is on a five-year mission to explore new musical worlds, to seek out new sounds no woman or man has ever heard before...
The subject was a rather "simple" one, because the only easily accessible "Inside Electronics" parts I had were these old tubes that used to be inside of my headphone amplifier. They are made of glass (of course) so you can see what's inside of them; making it a "double peek", if you like - an inside view of something that used to be inside of an electronic device ;-). I always wanted to use these tubes for a photo. The idea was to make it appear like a spaceship. Ever since the new tubes were installed, the amplifier sounds crappy (so I don't use it anymore; but it's 20 years old, so it's probably time for a new one...). I wasn't aware that the type of tubes can make such a difference in sound...
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Das Universum der Musik... Unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2112. Dies ist das Raumschiff Cygnus X-1, Rush-Klasse, Flagschiff der X-Cans-Flotte. Lautlos umrundet es den Planeten Samba auf einer fünfjährigen "Amazing Journey" durch das "Musical Fidelity" Universum. Viele Klangjahre von der Erde entfernt erforscht es neue musikalische Welten, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gehört hat...
Um nicht etwas aufschrauben und dabei womöglich beschädigen zu müssen (oder den elektrischen Schlag schlechthin zu bekommen), habe ich hier alte Röhren aus meinem Kopfhörer-Verstärker genommen, die ich schon immer mal für ein Foto verwenden wollte. Ein "doppelter Einblick" ins Innere der Elektronik, da die Röhren durch ihren Glasmantel sowohl Einblick in ihr eigenes Inneres erlauben als auch zuvor im Innern eines elektrischen Geräts verbaut waren. Dummerweise klingt der Verstärker nach dem Wechsel der Röhren gar nicht mehr gut (ich hätte nie gedacht, dass die Art der Röhre solch einen Einfluss auf den Klang hat), aber er ist auch schon 20 Jahre alt; vielleicht Zeit für etwas Neues...
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Juli-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
The stunning architecture of the Sydney Opera House shines under moonlit clouds - this is a 30 second exposure with June's Strawberry Moon (2019). The moon is high left above the frame. The light trail is from a ferry leaving Circular Quay.
Explored: May 25, 2023
A macro view of a coiled tape measure. This "wraps up" my series on this pink measuring tape. The frame represents a span of ⅞ -of-an-inch across.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights, CL/CR, fired in Manual mode @ ⅛ power through 24" softboxes and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs.
Lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50mm f/1.8 with 12mm + 36mm extension tubes attached.
One of those cases when lens flares are welcome into the frame - shot with a 15mm rectilinear manual focus lens, no lens hood.
A 2nd shot of 66734 this time she is seen arriving at Hindlow Quarry. Hindlow Quarry is on Stearndale Moor which is pretty much the highest railway point in the area. The further east i ventured the snow became lighter. Even just a few miles away at Topley Pike the snow covering was much more patchy.
The tracks leaving the center of the right hand side of the frame lead to Dowlow Quarry just a few hundred yards further along the tracks.
66734 was working the 4H89 0510 Hams Hall to Hindlow.
This guy was travelling faster than I expected - so in my opinion he ended up too far to the right in the frame . But I liked the shot so here it is.
I captured this image at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park on a January morning as the “blue hour” was giving way to the “golden hour.” Zabriskie point is one of the more popular sunrise/sunset spots in the park and for good reason. The view, overlooking the amazing textures and vast array of stripes and tones in the terrain, is absolutely stunning. The prominent peak on the left of the frame is Manly Peak, AKA Manly Beacon, named for William Lewis Manly, a 19th century pioneer known for rescuing several “49er” families from the many perils of Death Valley. The large reddish formation on the right of the frame is known as Red Cathedral and looks impressive from any angle and stands at the end of one of the hiking trails in Golden Canyon; a hike I highly recommend!
I was talking with Bernie when he said, "Heads up" and I barely got this guy in the frame. Thanks Bernie.
A mercurial Dales view with two of the legendary "3 Peaks" in frame but, well apart! Ingleborough on the horizon at the end of the lane on the left and Pen Y Ghent boldly holding the upper right of the frame.
The sky and light were magical on this very early Spring evening in company with Terry Roberts!
This is a crop from the earlier post to make the Garudas more emphatic in the frame and in line with some earlier posts that just show case a similar theme from Thailand>
A strong row of Garudas hold centre stage on the outer wall of the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok
What is captivating is the long row of identical Garudas that stretch along the side of the temple. It is difficult to get a shot without a human being in the frame as the number of visitors thronging the area is enormous. I was lucky.

This is my nephew, Ben, clearing the frozen river for skating on New Years Day 2014.
I have posted the photo previously (see Comment section), but I have since removed one other distracting person from the photo and otherwise reprocessed the image a bit, I think it makes it more effective. I like it anyway.
I wish it were a bit tighter on Ben, but I wanted to keep the overhead wooden footbridge in the frame ... and as a frame too, I guess.

#Layer
Aaaah, that Macro Monday feeling, it's all the better when you've skipped quite a few times, like I did - and in these days of Covid-19 fear it is also a really nice way to get some distraction from all the sad and worrying news... I hope that you are all well, dear Flickrians!
I went for a somewhat bigger size for my "Layer" photo, the bottom diameter of this double-layered Bodum Latte Macchiato / Chai / Matcha Latte / Golden Milk glass is 5 cm (1,96 inches), so the entire size of the frame here is 7 cm (2,75 inches). Yes, the TP photo was on my mind, too, but then I thought that this precious, much sought-after (and even harder to get these days) hygiene item might deserve a theme in its own right - hello, dear moderators...;-)?
So the Bodum glass provides vertical layers, while the beverage inside of it, delicious Golden Milk, provides horizontal layers. At the bottom you can see the homemade turmeric paste, and above that, obviously, the water / milk (in my case almond-coconut) mix, and then the froth. Next time I take a picture like this, I will pour only a small amount of liquid into the glass so the froth will stay all white for a nicer colour contrast - here I had filled the entire glass, because I wasn't quite sure how to take the photo, so the froth turned yellow while drinking the Golden Milk in the course of taking different photos of it - a photo-to-go, so to say ;-) The background actually had been blue, because I like the blue and yellow colour combination very much, but in the final image I thought that the blue backdrop was somewhat distracting, so I desaturated the blue tones (in LR). I then went into Luminar 3 where I did some detail enhancing (small and medium both at 40) and HSL sliding (nameley increasing the saturation and luminance for the orange and yellow tones). Back in PS I did some dodging and burning on the froth to bring back some of the original white. Final touches in Topaz DeNoise AI.
HMM, take care and stay healthy Everyone!
Ach, das lang vermisste Macro-Monday-Gefühl ;-) Ein bisschen Aufregung, ein bisschen "Fällt mir zum Thema auch was Gescheites ein?", ein bisschen "Warum tue ich mir das überhaupt an?!?" ;-) Auf jeden Fall ist die fotografische Beschäftigung mit einem
vorgegebenen Thema in Zeiten der langen Tage zu Hause eine willkommene Ablenkung von all den beängstigenden, oftmals auch unendlich traurigen Nachrichten rund um das alles beherrschende Corona-Thema... Ich hoffe, dass Ihr alle gesund seid, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Für mein "Layer"-Foto habe ich dieses Mal die erlaubte Motivgröße von 7,5 cm fast ausgereizt. Der Boden dieses doppelwandigen Bodum-Glases misst 5 cm im Durchmesser, sodass ich hier auf rund 7 cm Geasamtgröße komme, gerade noch bequem passend. Ich hatte natürlich als Motiv auch an das momentan so allgegenwärtige wie schwer zu bekommende Toilettenpapier gedacht, finde aber, dass diesem momentan so wertvollen Hygieneartikel eigentlich ein eigenes Thema gebühren würde ;-)
Hier nun also vertikale - in Gestalt des doppelwandigen Glases - und horizontale Ebenen: Die unterste Ebene dieser, im übrigen so gesunden wie leckeren, Goldenen Milch bildet die selbstgemachte Kurkuma-Paste, darüber, logisch, der Wasser-Milch(hier Mandel-Kokos)-Mix und oben dann der Schaum - oder was davon übrig ist. Für's Foto wäre es sicher besser gewesen, nur eine kleine Menge an Flüssigkeit hinzuzugießen, dann wäre der Schaum nämlich schön weiß geblieben. Da ich aber nicht ganz wusste, wie ich die Goldene Milch fotografieren sollte, hatte ich das Glas ganz normal gefüllt und beim Fotografieren nach und nach abgetrunken, sodass der Schaum am Ende kurkumabedingt gelb geworden war (in Photoshop habe ich mit der Abwedeln-und-Nachbelichten-Technik ein bisschen Weiß zurückholen können). Mein Hintergrund war ursprünglich blau gewesen, aber die zusätzliche Farbe fand ich beim fertigen Foto etwas zu viel des Guten, sodass ich die Blautöne in Lightroom "weg-desaturiert" habe. Als zusätzliche Entwicklungsschritte habe ich in Luminar 3 die kleinen und mittleren Details (Einstellung bei 40) hervorgehoben und die Sättigung und Luminanz bei den Orange- und Gelbtönen leicht verstärkt. Als Abschluss habe ich in Topaz DeNoise AI noch ein wenig Rauschen entfernt.
Ich wünsche Euch eine trotz aller Beschränkungen angenehme Woche, Ihr Lieben, bleibt schön gesund!
Behold the benefits of flex scheduling and Photoshop! I had to work until 9 last night and got word that a Via special was going via Omaha rather than Blair, so I took a late lunch and sharpshot the special. While I was waiting, the dispatcher lined the BNSF local out of ConAgra with a short cut of grain hoppers. The special got to this position just as the tail of that 25-ish car train disappeared from the frame. About 30 seconds sooner and they would have been perfectly lined up like this composite image.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
This close-up view of treetops in San Jose, California, showcases the breathtaking transformation of foliage as autumn takes hold. The image is a mesmerizing tapestry of colors, with deep crimson leaves interspersed among patches of golden yellow and lingering green.
The photograph captures the intricate details of different leaf shapes and sizes, creating a complex, layered effect. Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating some leaves and casting others into shadow, adding depth and dimension to the scene.
The vibrant red leaves provide striking contrast against the softer hues of the surrounding foliage. This interplay of colors exemplifies the diverse ecology of San Jose's urban forest and the beauty of seasonal change in a Mediterranean climate.
The density of the leaves and branches fills the frame entirely, immersing the viewer in this arboreal wonderland. It's a reminder of the subtle yet profound changes that occur in nature, even within the heart of Silicon Valley. This image invites observers to pause and appreciate the fleeting, exquisite beauty of fall, a visual feast right above our heads in the city's leafy neighborhoods.

The colors can be quite exquisite at dusk this time of the year. These colors didn't show for long so I feel lucky to have been at the scene and capture this display !
I even think the blue is a little out of this world :-)
It's been a while since I last added a camera to my collection, in fact I'm in the process of trying to downsize it, but I just couldn't pass this reasonably priced little Flexilette, a camera that had caught my eye several times in the past.
It is a rather unique camera in a sense that it's a TLR using 135 film. Only a handful other cameras by other brands used a similar approach, the pre-war Contaflex being the iconic model for this type of camera.
The Flexilette is a fully mechanical, all-manual, meterless camera the taking lens being a 2.8/45 Color-Apotar which according to online sources is a coated triplet. This fact alone puts the Flexilette in consumer / amateur enthusiast territory, although german triplets often produce stunning results, I for one am very pleased with the Triotar on my Rollei 35B.
The camera sports a waist-level finder which is not very big, but it's quite bright, definitely better than the finder of the Praktica VLC or the EXA-1 from behind the Iron Curtain. Focusing is aided by a retractable magnifying glass and a split-image rangefinder on the focusing screen. The finder is not interchangeable with a prism, so if one wants to shoot with the camera at eye level, they have to compose through a sports finder of sorts that is formed when the WLF flaps are deployed. Take care not to loose the small knob that releases the finder shaft, as it can be easily unscrewed during cleaning or carrying the camera in a bag.
Size-wise, the camera stands in a grey zone between a compact 35mm camera and a small SLR and it feels quite hefty with the lens protruding only a couple of centimeters, the shutter speed and aperture rings being quite narrow but easily accessible and moveable without feeling crowded.
The frame counter is manually reset and counts backwards from 36 as the frames are exposed.
My camera came in exceptional cosmetic and functional condition, along with the peculiar dedicated slip-on lens hood (it's the circular contraption visible on the right) and the close-up attachment of similar configuration which brings minimum focus distance from 0,6m to 0,38m, but sadly without a leather case. Build quality is good, but definitely not up there with Voigtlander or even Zeiss-Ikon. While some parts feel very solid, others feel like cutting production cost was a high priority in the minds of Agfa engineers. Overall operation of the camera feels quite smooth though, the leaf shutter (1s - 1/500s) is really quite and the focusing ring still turns very smoothly.
Overall, an interesting concept camera which wasn't a commercial success, although Flexilettes are not that difficult to find on the german auction site.

We emulate and learn from the Masters:
Nick Turpin (you tube masterclass video) - Composition and moment.
Joel Meyerowitz: "everything in the frame. Everything"
and sometimes we learn from other art forms; My friend who is an orchestra conductor -- "leave space so the high notes can shine".
I was framing this color filled scene with that man up on the scaffold trying to get everything in check when the other man in his dapper orange sweat shirt comes strolling in through that back door.... pick your center, frame, wait, wait, 3 - 2 -1 - click !!!!!
SOOC - I was tempted to crop out that foreground ceiling, but decided to use it to bring depth and guide the eyes inward.
Put your hand over it and see how the image flattens...

I have two of these little cuties living in my backyard now. They are so tiny compared to the other squirrels. I'd say they are just slightly bigger than a Chipmunk.
I photographed a Gray Seedeater (Sporophila intermedia) during an urban photo walk through Restrepo, in the Department of Meta in Colombia. The bird perches on a rusty horizontal wire that runs across the frame, grounding the composition while soft green distance dissolves into clean bokeh. Slate plumage shifts from charcoal crown to silvery flanks, a peach bill and dark eye bringing a calm, watchful mood.
I worked low and parallel to the perch to keep the plane of focus tidy across the face and shoulder. A shallow depth of field isolated the subject, a fast shutter preserved fine texture, and slight negative compensation protected the light bill. I timed exposures between small gusts, letting the wire’s straight line anchor the image and guide the gaze.

One of the BNSF's Northtown Yard "pulldown" jobs enters the frame with a cut of miscellaneous freight thats in the process of being sorted out and classified. These jobs are completely remote control, which I found funny as the engineer was sitting in the conductors seat with the belt pack on. A second "pulldown" job appears in the top right of the frame and a third was out of view to the top left. On the far left, a Potash train comes off the CP en-route for St. Paul.

Fourth image in my current Autumn Leaves series...
I would be hard pressed to select my favorite plant of all time, but I know Hostas would be in my top 10, for sure. Their huge, succulent leaves are showy and come in so many colors, predominantly green.
When autumn arrives, they turn a rich gold and rust, as seen here. I sniped this leaf off its plant, held it up against the sun for some nice backlighting, then snapped a few shots with my camera in the other hand.
The deep and parallel ribs of the leaf make for nice repetition and form, and I composed them emanating out of the lower left corner of the frame.
