The first triangular stamps ever offered in the USA, released by the United States Postal Service in 1997 for the Pacific 97 philatelic exhibition. The stamps were issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of postage stamps in the US.
I didn't specifically purchase the stamps to collect; I used up all except the last four stamps, which I saved for posterity. That was my habit up until Internet bill pay and e-mail put an end to sending traditional stamped mail.
The cropped width of this photo is right at the 3-inch (76.2mm) maximum.
In Dresden, there is a narrow alleyway for pedestrians – the Kunsthof Passage – which connects two parallel streets. The facades of the buildings in this passage are decorated in an artistic manner. For example, there is the famous blue rain gutter house, and opposite it is this house with its peeling adhesive plaster. This building facade has also been photographed thousands of times and posted online. I superimposed it with the slatted structure of a large car park to give the image a personal touch.

Gaffer's tape, an indispensable product in the motion picture, TV, sound, audio-visual, and other production professions. This harder-to-find and somewhat pricy product is a cousin to ordinary duct tape (which, ironically, is not approved for sealing ductwork), but has properties that make the tape easy to apply quickly, hold strong, and remove cleanly when used properly*.
Back when I set up audio-visual equipment for special events, I was accused of overusing gaffer's tape, especially for taping down cables (often exceeding the standard set in the first two minutes of this excellent instructional video I found on YouTube). My reply to those accusations was that, even though the tape itself was not inexpensive, it was cheap insurance against a tripping accident and the specter of a financially and reputationally disastrous lawsuit.
*That includes how to remove the tape. Hold cable(s) down first, then peel the tape away from the cables. The tape will fold around the cables if cables are pulled up before the tape is removed, resulting in a mess requiring considerable time (and, I must confess, some foul language along the way) to clean up.
Very dark very red bottle of red wine. First idea was to light trough the bottle and put some vitamin tablets in there. To make a a long story short, not enough light inside the bottles neck, boring photo.
Next set up, lightning the bottle from behind, also to get some more light for focusing, at the end of this story, I liked the setup and light testing photo better then the photos with flash.
Was testing the attenuation of the light with a strong flash light. Body no light, neck very little light, trough the bottom, this are the light reflexes you see.
On the outer surface the rough ring is are adhesive residue from the necks coating, or maybe roughened glass..
Color changes due to transmission troghh colored glass.
Roll of heavy-duty mounting tape. The adhesive on this tape is so strong, it's rather difficult to catch the edge of the liner to peel it off.
I can't think of anything more indispensable for wrapping a gift than a roll of adhesive tape.

Happy Macro Monday folks !!
The Macro Mondays theme this week is 'In The Mirror'.
Pictured are four map pins, and one mirror.
No glue, or adhesives of any kind were used to capture this photo. Have you figured out how I did it?
HMM.
As Promised.
Confessions of a Macro Mondays Addict; or; How I Set Up And Took This Shot
This shot is exactly what I said it is, four map pins and one mirror. The pins intersect the mirror at the tips, and are not attached to one another or the mirror.
The reason the reflections are in clear focus has to do with two things. First, the depth of field was made as deep as possible by using a high fstop, in this case, f29. This meant that the aperture would be very small, necessitating a long exposure time. The second reason the reflections are so well focused, is because I used a first surface mirror. I made this first surface mirror after test shots proved that a second surface mirror had too much distortion in the reflections. This distortion is caused by the refractive properties of the glass between the subject and the reflective surface.
Now I know it sounds like it would be a lot of work to make a first surface mirror, but it is quite easy. Modern mirrors are manufactured by depositing a thin film of aluminum on the glass surface. This is done via a process called vacuum deposition. Once the reflective surface is on the glass, the aluminum is painted over to protect it. Since glass is clear, if you turn the newly painted mirror over, you have the mirror we are all familiar with. This is a second surface mirror.
So the way this normal mirror works, is light passes through the glass, is reflected off of the shiny aluminum, then passes back through the glass, and you see this light. The reflected light is distorted by refraction errors along this path. You can see this in some of the other pictures posted in the group, where it appears that there are multiple images in the reflection. This is more apparent in the very close shots, and less apparent the farther the camera is from the mirror. Many posters did an outstanding job reducing this problem using good technique, such as changing the viewing and lighting angles.
Now to make a modern second surface mirror into a first surface mirror, you only need to remove the protective paint from the back, and use the back of the mirror that has the reflective coating on it. Light does not have to pass through any glass, and distortions go away. The big drawback to this is that the aluminum surface is very soft and thin, and nearly everything will scratch it. So I took a mirror square, the kind you use as a wall tile, and covered the back of it with paint remover overnight. In the morning, I lightly scraped the goo off the mirror with a very soft piece of plastic, and cleaned the mirror thoroughly. Even being as delicate as possible, and not using anything coarse or abrasive, the aluminum surface had many scratches on it. Of the one square foot of area, there was a two by three inch area that was very usable, and that is what you see in the image.
Now for the physical setup of this pic.
Congratulations to those who deduced or guessed that magnetism was involved. But it was not as simple as placing a magnet under a mirror and taking pictures.
In order for the pins to be contacting the mirror only at the tips, there had to be some balance between gravity, the weight of the pins, and how the magnet interacted with the pins. If the magnet was setup under the mirror, the pins would have lain on the mirror on their sides, exposing the largest area to the magnets attractive force, and would no have been able to stand up.
To correct for this, I simply flipped the mirror upside-down, held at head height off of the floor by a clamp on a tripod, and placed the magnet on top of the mirror. By adjusting the spacing of the magnet from the mirror, I was able to balance the weight of the pins, with the pull of gravity, and the magnetic attraction, so that they hung from the mirror, by their tips. To make this adjustment, trial and error showed that if I stacked three pennies on the mirror, and set my magnet on them, the magnetic attraction was such that the pins would hang from the mirror below, by their tips. Once properly lit, the photos were taken and simply rotated in post so that the pins would be on top, and the reflection would be on the bottom.
It was that simple. Now this may sound like a lot of work to some people, but the total amount of time invested in this picture is around 45 minutes. I don’t feel this is unreasonable given the results. It took me longer to type out this explanation.

I put white adhesive lettering on each plastic cup. After many shots, I liked the white gab in between. For two reasons; the light in between bounced the opposite colours onto the lettering as well as soften the "vibration" of color when they were right next to each other. Although, I must say I DID like the new "purple/magenta" that was created by the DOF. HMM!
Thank you ADMIN for the challenge, I really enjoyed this one!
With a suspended 2'x4' ceiling panel system removed, one observes a patterned series of adhesive daubs or glue pods applied to a plaster ceiling substrate above.
The residual glue spots formerly adhered 1-ft. square ceiling tiles in place on plaster substrate, four daubs per tile. In this case, the adhesive daubs were tested and found to contain asbestos and the 2-layer plaster ceiling system does not.
If removal of asbestos-containing ceiling tile adhesive is deemed necessary, the techniques typically employed involve manual scraping or chipping with implementation of wet-method prototcols inside negative-pressure enclosures. In some cases, the entire ceiling substrate is removed as well.
Excessive moisture build-up in this room caused numerous 12-inch square non-asbestos ceiling tiles to become delaminated, exposing a patterned series of asbestos-containing adhesive daubs or glue pods applied to a non-asbestos gypsum-panel ceiling substrate above.
Asbestos content of the ceiling tile and associated adhesive materials were known because bulk samples were previously collected in advance by a properly licensed and accredited Asbestos Inspector and submitted to a nationally accredited asbestos-testing laboratory using polarized light microscopy (PLM) analyses.
Non-asbestos 12-inch square ceiling tile adhered to non-asbestos gypsum-panel substrate with asbestos-containing adhesive daubs. See asbestos ceiling tile here.
In this particular instance, if abatement is necessary, removal of the glue daubs from the drywall ceiling substrate would likely be "easier" than if the adhesive were applied to plaster or concrete material due to the fact that the paper surface typically just peels away when removing the daubs while they remain intact. Although this process would leave a tattered, unattractive surface all over the drywall.
Plaster, concrete, or other hard substrate surface frequently involves manual chipping, obviously causing damage to both the brittle asbestos adhesive and substrate and requiring construction of a proper enclosure to assist prevention of potential contamination issues.
Oftentimes, if the entire ceiling system is to be removed and the asbestos glue pods may be impacted by the destructive removal process, an enclosure is constructed with plastic sheeting and HEPA air machines to contain the work area and should be conducted by properly trained and licensed asbestos abatement workers.

Anoles are a type of lizard found in Florida. Most are small ranging from 3-6 inches in length. The Knight Anole is the largest and can be over 13 inches! Green Anoles are most abundant and sometimes confused with chameleons because of their ability to change colors. A striking feature of the Green Anole is its dewlap, or throat fan, which is swung downward and forward to reveal a brightly colored patch of skin that is displayed during courtship or when defending territory. It is accompanied by a series of head bobs, ups and downs.
Florida Bark Anoles are native to Hispaniola and are frequent in Broward and Dade counties. Bark Anoles spend their time clinging to trunks and large branches and blending in. Bark Anoles are Florida's smallest anole, reaching a maximum length of 12.7 cm (5 in). Their coloration and pattern are changeable. When sleeping with their tails tightly coiled, Bark Anoles appear putty-colored or almost white. The Florida Bark Anole has a dark line between the eyes and a prominently banded tail. Two small eye like spots are often present on the back of the head and four vague, backward-pointing chevrons appear on the back. The dewlap is yellow with an red orange blush.
Cuban Brown Anoles, native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and satellite islands, are active in daylight and feed around lights at night. Voracious eaters, they devour large quantities of insects. They are food sources for snakes and birds. Brown Anoles eat their shredded skin and recycle the minerals contained in it. Cuban Brown Anoles have variable patterns on their backs and are usually three to five inches long.
The Green Anole is by far the most common anole in Florida. Sometimes called chameleons, these anoles change from green to brown to blend with the environment. Although the Green Anole is the only species native to the U.S., other species have been introduced in Florida and are expanding their ranges northward. Green Anoles are generally arboreal (living in trees) but are commonly found in suburban and urban areas perched on fences and rooftops. Green Anoles are active in day in warm weather and bask in vegetation. During cool weather anoles hide under tree bark, shingles or in rotten logs. Green Anoles eat a wide variety of insects, spiders, and other invertebrates. Female Green Anoles lay single, round, eggs in moist soil or rotten wood during warm months. The young resemble miniature adults.
Knight Anoles are the largest anoles growing to 13" to 19". They have a large bony head which gives them a profile like a knight in chess. Their eyes move independently. The tail is often longer than the body and has a jagged upper edge which reminds people of an iguana. Knight Anoles have special adhesive lamella on their five clawed toes which allow them to stick to surfaces. The body of the Knight Anole is covered with small granular scales. They have two white or yellowish stripes below each eye and over each shoulder. Knight Anoles are a bright green color which can change to light brown with yellow markings. Their color change depends on mood, temperature, or other stimuli. Yellow areas around the tail appear and disappear. Males are usually larger than females and have a dewlap or throat fan. Knight Anoles are active during the day and rarely leave the trees they live in. They hunt and eat insects, spiders, other lizards, tree frogs, nestling birds and small mammals. While their teeth are not large, they are sharp and can inflict a painful bite if carelessly handled and aggravated. Knight Anoles only eat live prey as their prey must move to be detected by the lizard.

For today's Macro Mondays' theme `It's A-Peeling To Me', I picked something that peeled that I found appealing: self-adhesive postage stamps. I'm sure anyone old enough to remember having to lick the back of stamps (yeuch!) before sticking them to an envelope will understand the appeal of these.
I peeled back a corner of one of the stamps, placed a colourful/sparkly greetings card behind the stamps for a pretty background, and then backlit with a torch to show the Queen's head through the back of the stamp, for a bit of context. Also for context, I kept the `1st' on the unpeeled stamp to the right in focus, and tried to keep some of the text on the book `Royal Mail' in focus too (could have used a little more DoF for the latter, but I'd already enjoyed far too much time with this).
Wheatpaste - An adhesive made from equal parts flour and water; also the name for a type of street art that relies on it. To put up a wheatpaste, an artist covers an area with the paste, then unfurls a poster, drawing, painting, or photo made off site. After smoothing out the paper’s wrinkles and bubbles, another smear of wheatpaste goes on top. The result is sometimes called a paste-up.
