Macro Monday’s

建於1926年，現轉型為觀光工廠。

Double exposure; Samyang manual lens at F22; some LED lights.

Here is a dainty teacup with a butterfly design that I turned upside down. For Macro Mondays group.

At the international exhibition "ceramic art London 2022" (Central Saint Martins, Granary Square). Sculpture by James Evans. There was obviously some kind of iron mixed into the clay. To me, his sculptures trigger associations of the decay and, hence, the transitoriness, of our grand technological structures. So, what we are looking at is the debris of the Anthropocene.

At the international exhibition "ceramic art London 2022" (Central Saint Martins, Granary Square). Sculpture by Chris Turrell. Chris is based in Liverpool and what interests me in particular is that he moved from figurative and anthropomorphic sculpture to a minimalist and radically abstract approach. Those of us knowing one or two things about prehistoric art will immediately discover that this is the way art developed in ancient times from the palaeolithic to the mesolithic - from elaborate cave wall frescoes showing animals to geometric patterns and dot paintings.

Ceramics

Please see the previous image. Unlike the first image of this series, the object has changed (also made by Eleni-O'Hara in the 1970s) and the lens was switched to F8 or F11. The point of all this was to find out whether the Helios lens (2/58), a Russian vintage glass that works very well attached to my Fuji cameras, would also produce its charm on my Leica Mono. Please see for yourself. I believe that this combination is a happy one. Thanks to Joel Eve for this inspiration!

This is a closeup of a ceramic bowl with some fancy glazing. For Macro Mondays theme "Ceramics". Width of image approx 2 inches.

Japanese ceramics with bamboo and wicker textures by candle light

Celeste and I completed an 8 week pottery course in Robertson. For me it was my first attempt at pottery. Everything made was all hand built on Cycladic and Minoan themes, that is ancient greek from the Greek Isles and Crete.

Ceramics are widely used in electronics (chip packages, insulators, capacitors, resistors, inductors, fuse blocks, etc.). Here are just two examples. Ferrite is a ferromagnetic ceramic used for making things like inductors, transformers and chokes. The bulge you often find on the power or data cord to one of your computer, stereo or television devices is a piece of ferrite around the cord that blocks high-frequency signals picked up by the wire from interfering with the electronics. The two ferrite rings in this photo are about 30mm/1.2" across.

The white ceramic insulating spacers hold the fixed and the rotating sides of the variable capacitor apart from each other.

Inspired by the KraftWork Ceramics collection in the latest Pocket Gacha, I put together a little artisan ceramics studio in Fourth Walls Industrial Cabin. I can just imagine myself pottering away to make items for sale to visitors. Another great fun project!

Visited my 90 year young aunt today.

My aunt made this life-size ceramic cat in 1972. It is one of many figures she made back then. This one was always a favorite with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and it sits very alert and cat-like near her front door.

Back in the 1960s through the 1970s every town seemed to have "Ceramics Classes" being offered and many 'middle-aged' housewives participated. I remember my mom attended a few.

trees, branches and dandelions.

I had my 811 presentation yesterday, and it was awesome, all the critics loved it, very happy with the outcome. I'll post the final renderings later on the week. I want to thank everyone for your wonderful comments on my 811 work^_^

This was a forgotten pic that I took on my trip to Syracuse, just a little break from my abstract work, hope you like it!

Today I will catch up on my commenting, since I have time today! Wish you all a wonderful week!! Thank you for your comments, faves and notes!! : D
