11/100x : my 100 photos will feature foliage HGGT!
This was a good theme in that it forced me to think about some of the more technical aspects of macro photography. I’ve had my macro lens since October and this week was probably the first time that I shot a technical macro (i.e. 1:1). My process for taking a photograph is to fill the frame with the image I want then focus. In doing that I have never really paid attention to the numbers on the focus ring. This week I set the lens to 1:1 then moved the camera/subject into focus. 1:1 is much closer than thought it was. My lens says its minimum focus distance is a little under one foot. That must be measured from the front of the camera, not the front of the lens. I discovered a few more gadgets to add to my wish list this week (does it ever end?). I would really like to focus stack. I have tried it with manually changing the focus points and merging in Elements. I think I need a focus rail and full-blown Photoshop (or some other add in) to get the best results. I had to shoot this at f/40 to get a depth of field with most of the subject in focus. Also, I need to construct a light box to back light flowers, etc. HMM!

Bert Jansch singing Wild Mountain Thyme.
The Byrds did a pretty good version too.
The Barrows at Thorswood are a powerful place to sit and reflect. Although some barrows have been completely destroyed by later quarrying a few are still intact. Sitting amongst the spring or summer flowers, you can feel yourself being dragged back through time. Can you imagine no motor traffic noise, no jet trails in the sky, no lights to blank out the stars. It must have been so quiet and dark.
Back to a rainy day amongst my tiny flowers, moss and lichen
The wild thyme is around 1 cm high and smells like paradise
Decided to get a bit weird for this shot. I used the Fujifilm in-camera editor to add contrast, grain, etc.
Found this attractive piece of deadwood while on a cliff-top walk. Only it's not, dead that is. We think it's oregano (not Thyme!), or a wild variant. It's just been there a while. Sliders slid, it is Sunday!

In general use, herbs are plants with savoury or aromatic properties that are used for flavouring and garnishing food, for medicinal purposes, or for fragrances; excluding vegetables and other plants consumed for macronutrients.
Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs from spices.
Herbs generally refers to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), while spices are usually dried and produced from other parts of the plant, including seeds, bark, roots and fruits.
Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, and in some cases, spiritual.
Much used and enjoyed in our kitchen!
Very much appreciated. Magda, (*_*)

Ich bevorzuge bei einer Erkältung Tee mit Thymian und Ingwer .. warum!? Die ätherischen Öle des Thymians wirken schleimlösend und erleichtern das Abhusten, sie haben eine entkrampfende Wirkung auf die Bronchien. Und Ingwer wirkt durch die enthaltenen Scharfstoffe schweißtreibend und entzündungshemmend und wärmt mich von innen wieder auf. So, jetzt habe ich euch alles verraten .. 😎👍
I prefer tea with thyme and ginger when I have a cold.. why!? The essential oils of thyme have an expectorant effect and make coughing easier; they have a relaxing effect on the bronchi. And ginger has a diaphoretic and anti-inflammatory effect due to the pungent substances it contains and warms me up from the inside. So now I've revealed everything to you.. 😎👍
