I had three fairly good images for Macro Mondays theme. I thought I would throw onw out early lest they sit in the queue forever.

Macro Mondays

(Image taken with an Analog film camera).

Black & White Film: Rollei Retro 80s @ISO 40.

Filter: Red, Support: Tripod with timer

Scan with Plustek 8100@3,600dpi, then edit contrast with Nick Silver Efex Pro2 & ACDSee Photo Editor 11.

Notes: Using Rollei Retro 80s for the first time, negative came out dense, next time will try ISO 64 and 9 minutes on Xtol @ 1:1.

(Location: Smyrna Dunes Park, New Smyrna Beach, Florida).

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, and views.

Macro for Happy Macro Monday

Used some elements there along the north rim of the Grand Canyon for this composition.

Our front door key is attached to this wooden keychain that looks 3D but is actually quite smooth and worn.

Llamas are used at Machu Picchu as a natural way to keep the grass low. Llamas, alpacas, vicuñas and guanacos are native to the Andes Mountains and all are in the family Camelidae, closely related to camels. Llamas are the pack animals of the Andes. Alpacas are smaller with shorter heads and are raised mainly for their fine hair and as meat. The vicuña and guanaco are the wild ancestors of the alpaca and llama respectively. Vicuñas have even finer wool and although protected in Peru, natives are allowed to catch and shear them once a year. A vicuña hair sweater can cost thousands of dollars.

Using a much longer lens at F5.6 at closest range.

Camera used: Pinhole homemade camera 35mm

I used to travel alot. Long international flights could become boring but I liked nothing more than to look out of the window down at the landscape 6 miles below me. I used to pit my geographical knowledge against navigational abilities to see if I could identify towns, cities, rivers, landmarks. It helped pass the time. Once I picked out Monument Valley on the brown Utah landscape. I was able to identify some of the towering features but couldn't get over how an area it had taken most of a day to explore in a car could be the size of a sixpence against the featureless desert around.

The best time was when I had been flying for ages: a few months actually, and I had dozed off, forehead leaning against the cold window. I awoke and through bleary eyes looked down. I didn't instantly recognise it a convolusion of channels leading across the land. Rivers, gorges and canyons. And then I remembered. Mars. I was flying over Mars. And the sunlight glinted off the surface. Water? Water? Every where? Had I just discovered water on Mars?

Unfortunately that's nothing like the truth. I often work my way round to a little cove along from Camusdarrach to find unusual patterns and colours on the beach. Here a little oil seeps into the bog that feeds the burn down onto the beach, the oil catching the light like sun on a river estuary. With dark and light sands, this is my impression of what a Martian river might (have) look like. (this section of sand being about 12 inches across)

Using my lensball to enhance the sunset

Using my wide angle. as a framing technique plus exaggerating the distance in this frame. The colours and landscape is real

I use my cell phone and I am a happy clicker.

When I become a grown up I will have a real camera like you guys.

But for now this is it.

I'm a big fan of the moon and the stars and should of course not upload photos of nightshots.

But I do it anyway.

Because I like it.

I am actually Evathrilled that I captured Orion, with a cell phone, lol.

I appreciate all comments in how to improve my shots, I am an eager learner.

So if you ever have any constructive criticism I would love to hear that ♥

It is always good to remember that what we consider old now, back in the day was very modern. Case in point is this part of the church Saint Etienne in Perriers-sur-Andelle. The church itself is medieval, founded in the 11th century, with some architectural details added in the 14th century. But not here. Here we can quite obviously see some later works, this is not medieval (and the church did see substantial work done in the 16th and the 19th century). So at one point this was the modern, up-to-date part of the church when the rest of it was more or less dated and old-fashioned.

Playa Perissa, se trata de un espléndido tramo de costa de casi 7 km de arena negra volcánica, al igual que Kamaria salpicada de cantos y guijarros, y un mar de un azul intenso oscuro donde se pueden practicar distintas actividades acuáticas como el snorkeling, pero también jet ski, paseos en motos de agua, banana boat, kiteboard, esquí acuatico etc., que se pueden contratar en alguno de los centros acuáticos de la zona.

En Perissa tienen también un parque acuático. Por lo que respeta a la arena, además de zonas equipadas con sombrillas y hamacas y las libres, también hay otras para practicar beach-volley, áreas reservadas para los más pequeños y otras dedicadas a los happenings (actividades de baile coreográficos de animación). Otros servicios interesantes a lo largo del paseo marítimo de Playa Perissa y en el pueblo en sí, son sus negocios, restaurantes, cafés, minimercados y tiendas de ropa y souvenirs.

While barns used to dominate farm sites throughout the countryside, they had a whole supporting cast of other buildings. Sometimes they were small while other times there were quite large buildings that sheltered hogs, sheep or cattle. Hard to tell what this intriguing building was but I suspect at least at one time it held chickens. On our farm, you could put chickens almost anywhere and they would be happy.

Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.

It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.

Not quite the same in black and white.

Shooting in black and white during the golden hour

shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.

Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.

Panorama (2 photos stitched using Hugin). OM D E-MV II, f12mm, 1/125, f10, ISO320. Photos taken in july 2022.

Caïre (ou cayre) signifie en langage local un sommet rocheux. Les Caïres dominent la vallée du sanctuaire de la Madone de Fenestre. Le sanctuaire est établit depuis le moyen-âge (année 887), refuge d'étape pour ceux qui désiraient passer du comté de Nice (dépendant de la Savoie) au Piémont italien par le col de Fenestre (2474 m), sur le chemin duquel la photo a été prise.

Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale, le col a servi de route d'exil pour les juifs niçois réfugiés à Saint Martin-Vésubie fuyant la persécution nazie (650 personnes à partir du 9 sept. 1943). Malheureusement, nombres d'entre eux (350) furent internés dans un camp de concentration Italien (Borgo San Dalmazzo) puis déportés à Auschwitz.

J.M.G. Le Clézio, prix Nobel de littérature, a écrit un roman au sujet des juifs de Saint-Martin-Vésubie : Etoile Errante, 1992, Gallimard, Paris.

Caïre (or cayre) means in local language a rocky summit. The Caïres dominate the valley where the sanctuary of the Madone de Fenestre is located. This sanctuary has been established since the Middle Ages (year 887) and was the refuge for those who wanted to pass from the county of Nice (depending on the Savoie county) to the Italian Piemont by the pass of Fenestre (2474 m), on which path the photo was taken.

During World War II, the pass served as an exile route for Jewish people from the city of Nice fleeing the Nazi persecution (650 personnes from the 9 of sept. 1943). Unfortunately, many of them were interned in an Italian concentration camp (Borgo San Dalmazzo) and next deported to the Auschwitz camp (Poland) from which they never came back (350 people).

J.M.G. Le Clézio, Nobel Price of literature, wrote a novel about this sad story of Jewish people of Saint-Martin-Vésubie : "Wandering Star", Willimantic: Curbstone Press, 2004.

Spent matchstick.

First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.
