15mm cast glass button, the detail is in high relief, approximately 200 years old.
(iridescence) caused by alkali (soluble salt) being leached from the glass by slightly acidic water and then forming fine layers that eventually separate slightly or flake off causing a prism effect on light bouncing off and passing through the surface which reflects light differently, resulting in an iridescent appearance.
Four lights @90 degree intervals, sitting on a mirror.
White balance was set to incandescent which has given the button a blue cast, purely for the effect.
found in a leet ditch that dated from the late Georgian period (early C19th)

For Crazy Tuesday challenge: Buttons
I wasn't that happy with yesterday's button pic so sorted out some blue/blue-green buttons to go with a button of a yacht.
Did not venture outside the property today, spending about six hours in the garden (mainly the vege garden).
Tough new Covid-19 travel restrictions are now in place for all arrivals to the country (except if coming from a few select Pacific Islands) and applies to New Zealand residents returning from overseas and visitors to the country - you must self isolate yourself for 14 days, so tourism and the travel industry are taking a huge hit.
Already my plans for two events in April have gone. Both conventions (model railway over Easter weekend and national photographic convention two weeks later) have been cancelled.

I got pretty close to this guy before he realized I was there and took off into the field.

I'm afraid I'm not feeling hugely inspired at the moment, so here's another button from my collection. It dates from the late 19th Century and it's quite large at 1Ā½" across. The button is leaning against a (barely visible) vintage Sylko cotton reel and I added in a few of my trusty Hydrangea flowers for good measure.
A macro view of a decorative metal button. The frame measures one-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The button was placed on top of a piece of elevated plate glass and illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight, the blue and green LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, and natural window light before being converted to monochrome.
The SB900 was positioned 80Ā° CL and fired in Manual mode @ 1ā16 power through a gridded snoot, with a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The Coast TX10 was placed underneath the subject and shown through the plate glass. Soft window light 90Ā° CR was used for fill.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
(Note: Sometimes I convert very colorful images to monochrome because of the contrast control the vibrant color tones allow; that was the choice I made in this case).

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
Five deer were in our backyard, next to the back porch, feasting on acorns. I took several photos of the group, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos on the computer that I noticed that least two of the deer are button bucks. This one was closest to the house and his buttons are easy to see. The "buttons" are the bumps or knobs on the forehead, where the antlers are beginning to grow. It will be fun watching these youngsters grow up into handsome adults. Backyard wildlife.
