Looking Close... on Friday: Clock Face
My first watch: given to me by my parents on my 12th Birthday. It has a very small face. It's long since stopped working but I still have it :)
Reykjavik, Iceland is technically warmer right now than Chicagoland, IL. Brr! But at least it's sunny.
The little wildflowers in Iceland charmed me. We were off the side of the road photographing, and the loveliest scents were wafting up. Finally figured it out - we were walking on carpets of thyme. Here's a little bit of thyme near the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
This particular Thyme-Leaved Bluet (Houstonia serpyllifolia), was growing along with many of its peers in clusters along the edge of a meadow, and just looking pristine.
Technical Details
This M42 Petri 50mm f/1.8 was given to me and was a lens from which I did not expect very much, being much more excited about a Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S Auto 55mm f/1.2 and even the Canon FD 50mm f/1.8. The Petri feels and looks a little like it was a lower-price lens, which I think it probably was, but it keeps finding its way back into my bag.
It's small and light even on an adapter, it has great color, and the M42 helicoid adapter makes it very useful. While it's bokeh can sometimes be a bit edgy and busy, it somehow manages to render in a way that is often still pleasing.

Musically inclined folks might recognize that my title is a bad pun.
This composition of the top of my potted thyme plant reminded me of typical musical notation.
Quite a few of these around Kynance Cove. This one was the 'freshest' of them all! As the common name suggests, this one parasitises Thyme.

Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain,
And all around the bower,
I'll pile flowers from the mountain.
If my true love, she won't have me,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Oh, the summertime is coming
And thre trees are blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
I loathe the cold, but I managed to get outside for a few minutes when we got our first real snow earlier this week.
Thank you lauren for the wonderful compliment today. I have to say that the feeling is totally mutual. Your photos are so stunning and quite inspirational.
It's time for Thyme. English thyme that is, to honor my British ancestors. And the woven napkin with the embroidered bird I bought in Guatemala many years ago. Thyme has tiny leaves, and is a rather small plant, but one of my favorites to have available for adding to food.
To have the plant illuminated without harsh light, I waited until late afternoon when there is plenty of light coming in the window, but not direct sunlight.
My previous version was a 5x7 paper negative, this one is a contact printed film negative. A special film: Agfatone 330p, apparently a reproduction film. I couldn't find anything meaningful on the web. The moulding effect is likely to be in the paper.
