I have always been facinated by colour, especially in a "multi-colour" sense, and have wanted to take this shot for ages, but JL have a strict "No Photo" policy, so this is SOOC & shot from the hip

"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years" is attributed to Simone Signoret
Love, as we have already discussed, is a powerful,
wonderful, ridiculous thing, capable of moving mountains.
And spools of thread.

Thread-legged bug of the genus Ploiaria; probably P. antipodum (endemic to NZ). The two front 'legs' are antennae. This one has caught a fungus gnat. Sitting on an introduced toadstool, Amanita muscaria. Rimutaka Forest Park.

A threaded fastener is a discrete piece of hardware that has internal or external screw threads. It falls into the overall fastener family. They are usually used for the assembly of multiple parts and facilitate disassembly.

I was totally stumped as to what to use since all my sewing things are packed, then I remembered I still had these little gems in my Spice rack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron This is the worlds most costly spice by weight. That's why I have so little of it. I use it in rice mostly. It give the rice a yellowish tinge and a nice musty flavour.
A ripple of bright blue threads through this galaxy like a misshapen lake system. The foreground of this image is littered with nearby stars with their gleaming diffraction spikes. A keen eye can also spot a few other galaxies that, while masquerading as stars at first glance, reveal their true nature on closer inspection.
The central galaxy streaked with colour, IC 4870, was discovered by DeLisle Stewart in 1900 and is located approximately 28 million light-years away. It contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN: an extremely luminous central region so alight with radiation that it can outshine the rest of the galaxy put together. AGNs emit radiation across the complete electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma-rays, produced by the action of a central supermassive black hole that is devouring material getting too close to it. IC 4870 is also a Seyfert galaxy, a particular kind of AGN with characteristic emission lines.
IC 4870 has been imaged by Hubble for several studies of nearby active galaxies. By using Hubble to explore the small-scale structures of AGN in nearby galaxies, astronomers can observe the traces of collisions and mergers, central galactic bars, nuclear starbursts, jets or outflows, and other interactions between a galactic nucleus and its surrounding environment. Images such as this can help astronomers understand more about the true nature of the galaxies we see throughout the cosmos.

This really showed a big difference between a piece of thread and its shadow. I tilted the paper away from the sun to get thicker, more interesting shadows.

Threads of Silence by Karise Eden.
Karise has a quality to her voice that is raw, emotional, powerful yet fragile.
if i gave you every inch of me
could you show me how
if i learn to be more brave
could you show me how
i take a deep breath
straighten up my back
stand tall and walk along
he said you could do anything
but anything is nothing when you need a bit of helpin' out
you could go anywhere but anywhere is nowhere
but when emptiness is where you stand

"Thread", Tim Lowly, acrylic on panel, 13.7" x 11.7", 2019.
This brand new painting is one of two works that I will have in the upcoming group show at Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. The opening reception is this Friday, November 6 from 5 - 8 pm. There are 26 artists in the exhibition. If you are in the Chicago vicinity you don't want to miss this.
This macro shot was taken in the studio for some theme–based group, back in September 2019. I do not remember which one, nor what the theme was! I have a behind-the-scenes snap (which I have also uploaded), so I can describe the lighting setup below.
Shot tethered with TetherTools bright orange cable —and extension! as my office, desk and computer is 30 meters away from that table... Fun, but not very convenient.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a C–stand in zenithal position, 1.5 meters above subject, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro basic reflector fitted with 30–degree Andoer grid, 1.8 meters from subject and slightly above it; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and slightly above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflectors on two sides.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body in zenithal position on a Neewer C–stand, Micro–Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 macro lens.
The Nematocera (thread-horns) are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae, consisting of the mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and midges.
Nematocera are typically characterized by filamentous, multisegmented antennae which may be plumose in some males. The Nematocera are a paraphyletic suborder, because one of its constituent families (Anisopodidae) is apparently a sister taxon to the entire suborder Brachycera; an alternative classification has been proposed in which the family Nymphomyiidae (traditionally classified within the Blephariceromorpha) is removed to its own suborder, the Archidiptera, and all the remaining nematoceran families are placed in a suborder called Eudiptera; however, the Eudiptera are also paraphyletic, and this classification has not been widely accepted. Largely due to its long history, the name Nematocera continues to be used.
Examples of the Nematocera include the mosquitoes (Culicidae), crane flies (Tipulidae) and black flies (Simuliidae). Many of the remaining families (especially Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae, and Sciaridae), are called gnats, while others (especially Chironomidae, Cecidomyiidae, and Ceratopogonidae) are called midges.
The larvae are mostly aquatic and have distinct heads with mouthparts that may be modified for filter feeding. The pupae are orthorrhaphous (meaning adults emerge from the pupa through a straight seam in the pupal cuticle). The bodies and legs of the adults are usually elongate, and these flies often have relatively long abdomens.
Many species form mating swarms of males, and in some of these, competition for females is extreme. Although many species (as larvae) have a strong association with water, even within a single family there may be a trend toward semiaquatic and terrestrial habitats.
Get Pushed Challenge Round 60
This round I was paired with Raf Degeest and the challenge he sent me was:
1. make a still life capture from anything that you find in the house
2. think out of the box (so no typical fruit or flowers scene)
3. use natural incoming light
you might set your camera on manual focus to do this.
I had a lot of fun with this and tried lots of different things... before settling on the thread. Just goes to show...there is always something to shoot!
Thanks for the challenge Raf!
