Macro Mondays 09/07/18 Theme Inside Electronics
An old hard drive PCB with the connector wired to one lead of a transformer and the other dragged across the solder joints causing the components to short.
...on a circuit board.
For Macro Mondays: "Small and Smaller" theme, it's a demonstration board from Universal Instruments Corp. that I've had for many years. The company builds automated machines for placing and attaching components--both small and smaller--to circuit boards.
The image measures just 1 5/8-inch on the long side.

#Pins
I knew early on what would be my subject for the "Pins" theme: pins on an old motherboard. For my "Modern Times" style image for the MM theme "cogwheel" back in 2018 (please see the second comment) I'd wanted a circuit board as background, but didn't have one at hand. So I went to a very small computer shop around the corner and asked if they had an old, useless circuit board lying around – they had, and I got it for free. To carry it home, however, was a spiky affair. I'd thought that I'd simply put the mainboard under my arm, but I hadn't been aware that there are so many tiny, super spiky-prickly-sharp pins on a mainboard ;) So in the end I held it – in turns – at the sides (gingerly) or at the ports that would have been at the back of the computer chassis. A lasting memory, as it seems ;)
I've photographed the undersides of a row of connector pins that are plugged onto the edge of the mainboard. Each of them is 1 mm / 0,03 inches long. I've used both extension tubes (10mm/16mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens to get as close to the pins as possible. For the yellow/golden light I've used a yellow, semi-translucent cap of a soap bottle that fits so nicely onto the LED lamp's head. I was surprised that the pins looked so soft(-ish), and with the smooth, minimalist bokeh and the background colour (apparently the living room wall, because I hadn't put anything behind the mainboard) the final result reminded me of a corps de ballet or a chorus line. Or of chess pawns, but I prefer the aforementioned idea that these are dancers on an opera stage.
HMM, Everyone! Stay safe and healthy, and have a pleasant week ahead :)
Ich wusste schon frühzeitig (was nicht allzu oft vorkommt), was ich für das aktuelle MM-Thema machen wollte: "Pins" / Steckstifte auf einer alten Hauptplatine. Diese Platine hatte ich mir mal als Hintergrund für mein an "Modern Times" angelehntes Foto für das "Cogwheel"-Thema (September 2018, Ihr findet das Foto im 2. Kommentar) bei einer kleinen Computer-Bude bei mir um die Ecke besorgt. Das Nachhausetragen war dann eine stachelige Angelegenheit, denn ich hatte nicht an die doch sehr vielen, so kleinen wie nadelspitzen Steckstifte / Lötstifte / Verbindungsstifte und das andere spitze Zeugs, mit dem so eine Platine bestückt ist, gedacht. Unter den Arm klemmen war also nicht – und diese "Fasse-die-Platine-dort-an-wo-es-mal-nicht-pikt"-Erfahrung war dann offenbar doch so nachhaltig, dass ich mich gleich daran erinnert habe, als ich las, was das heutige Thema sein würde ;)
Ich habe hier beide Zwischenringe (10mm/16mm) und die Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse verwendet, um so nah wie möglich an die Reihe von Verbindungsstiften heranzukommen. Fotografiert habe ich deren Unterseite, mit gelb-goldenem Licht von der Seite, für das ich den halbtransparenten, gelben Schraubverschluss einer Spüliflasche auf den Kopf der LED-Lampe gesteckt habe (er passt wie dafür gemacht). Die Hintergrundfarbe kommt offenbar von der Wohnzimmerwand, da ich nichts hinter die Platine gestellt hatte. Das Resultat sieht überraschend luftig-leicht (für Technik) aus, finde ich. Die "Hütchen" erinnern mich durchaus ein wenig an Bauern auf einem Schachbrett, noch viel mehr erinnern sie mich aber an ein Corps de Ballet.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde. Und auch wenn die Inzidenzwerte momentan niedrig sind: Passt gut auf Euch auf!

#two
The strangest worlds reveal themselves when we look at things through a macro lens. Things get even stranger when we use extension tubes and a close-up lens on top. For the "Two" theme I thought I'd take another look at the old motherboard that I'd once got for free at a computer shop. Macros of a motherboard's front side often look like modern cities with skyscrapers and an endless maze of roads, but what I find even more interesting is a motherboard's backside with all those spiky (soldering) pins. These "twin pins" that I've found Close To The Edge of the motherboard's backside reminded me of a strange mountain form, Twin Peaks with extremely steep slopes that one might find on an alien planet.
The image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos which I've combined in Helicon Focus (B, Radius 1, Smoothing 2). Lightsources were: soft LED light from above, two Swedish LED lamps (one shone through a green bottle from the left, the other, equipped with the yellow plastic bottle cap, from the right), and an LED flashlight from above which I'd stuck into my trusty blue tealight holder (handheld).
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, have a nice week ahead, and stay safe!
Die faszinierendsten Welten offenbaren sich uns beim Blick durch ein Makroobjektiv, und es wird oft noch faszinierender, wenn wir das Makro mit Zwischenringen und einer Makro-Vorsatzlinse bestücken, um noch näher an das winzige Objekt der fotografischen Begierde heranzukommen. So auch hier. Für das "Two"-Thema hatte ich mir wieder die alte Hauptplatine, die ich mal bei einer Computerbude abgestaubt hatte, vorgeknöpft. Die Vorderseite einer Hauptplatine erinnert ja oft an eine moderne Großstadt mit Wolkenkratzern und endlosem Straßenlabyrinth, aber fast noch interessanter finde ich die stachelige Rückseite mit den winzigen Lötstiften. Es gab dort einiges für das Thema "Two" zu finden, aber dieses seltsame, doppel"zahnige" Gebilde fand ich besonders spannend, weil es mich gleich an eine ungewöhnliche Bergformation erinnerte, wie man sie wohl nur auf einem außerirdischen Planeten vorfinden könnte.
Das Foto ist ein Stacking bestehend aus 15 Fotos, die ich in Helicon Focus kombiniert habe (B, Radius 1, Smoothing 2). Als Lichtquellen kamen weiches LED-Licht von oben sowie meine bewährten Improvisationsfarbfilter zum Einsatz: zwei schwedische LED-Strahler (von links durch eine grüne Flasche geleuchtet, die rechte Lampe mit dem gelben Plastik-Flaschenverschluss bestückt) und als dritte Farbquelle habe ich eine kleine Taschenlampe in den blauen Teelichthalter gesteckt und direkt über die "Twin Peaks" gehalten.
HMM allerseits, ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Februar-Vorfrühlingswoche mit hoffentlich ruhigerem Wettergeschehen.
On the theme of chip, for Macro Monday.
Knew I kept that dead motherboard around for something!
Lit with an angle lamp. Little irritated with the focus, but I think it still works.
HMM!

I found an electronic board that was discarded at my office. I placed it on an acrylic plate and applied bright backlit. I saw it through the macro lense, the bottom of the board was reflected and it looked like a mirage! Macro shooting is really fun!!
As you know, the board is very small, and the size of this was 4cm actually.
Happy Macro Monday to all!!
Electronics can be obsolete as fast as they are made. It is scary how much humans rely on ones and zeros. It reminds me to turn devices off once in a while.
Due to some personal difficulties I had to think out of the box for this weeks theme Aerial View. Quite pleased with the result.
Light nights and late evenings force me to shoot in my kitchen with black out curtains and the lights turned off...
For this one I turned the circuit board to make it way out of parallel with the focal plane to make some great out of focus points of light.
All shot in one photographic exposure with a combination of flashguns and LED lights.

Taken for this week's macro theme. A circuit board from an old computer.
Taken using a combination of my Canon 100mm macro lens with 13mm, 21mm & 31mm Vivitar extension rings, to get in super close.
This image thanks to an engineer friend, who kindly dropped off old circuit boards on my front porch not long ago. I spent some time with my macro lens--something I haven't done for awhile. Texture I made in Flame Painter, and brushes I made from tempera paint and household objects, scanned into photoshop.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Inside Electronics" (July 9th 2018)
This year we replaced our old computers, and that meant destroying hard drives. I saved a few components, including a circuit board - "just in case". So I dusted it off for this week's challenge. At last one of my hoarded items has found a use! Shot on the black glass of my Kindle.
HMM and have a great week! ;o)

No wonder the furnace didn't work!! This is (a part of) the main brain of our furnace - the circuit board, to which everything is hooked up. Egads.. no air conditioner! It's too hot! Luckily, the HVAC guy was able to rig it to constantly run the air conditioner and fan until a new circuit board came in 2 1/2 weeks later. Then he gave me this beauty. :-) He said "but it's rusty and corroded!" and I said oh goody! Perfect for my macro pics! lol.. and it has numbers for HMM too. HMM! :-)
This 1 cm square computer chip seems to be tied down securely by all the connections on each side. It is 13mm measured diagonally as shown. Area across the photo is about 20mm. This is from a vintage 3.5” hard drive (Quantum Fireball 20.5GB, late 90’s) that I dismantled to see what is inside. Relative to current technology this chip is gigantic.
HMM Everyone!
Combining camera rotation with lens and tripod swaps, this is my fat hand cyborg stylee. Shot in one photographic exposure as usual
Took apart a set of wireless headphones that had stopped working. (See photostream for the old broken set and a newer function one.) Saved the circuit boards, 2 magnets and a bunch of tiny screws for macro pictures some day.
A (small) portion of a circuit board
The vertical dimension of the photo is about 0.75" (~2cm) on the board

For this weeks theme I first disassembled and old keyboard. Unfortunately, the circuit board was too small (the yellow one with the green lamps in the front) so I also opened up an unused printer we had sitting in the garage. That's were I got the second green circuit board from (also not incredibly large but hey...). The seedling is some wild growing weed that I plugged from one of our flower pots. The result is not exactly how I envisioned my image to be, I would have liked larger circuit boards to entirely fill the frame but I ran out of old electrical equipment ;-)
HMM!
Row of capacitors on the NeXTdimension color and video expansion board, for #MacroMondays #Numbers
Taken at 1:1 magnification. The capacitors are about 6 mm in diameter.
I've included a shot of the NeXTdimension logo in the comments.

Philip's idea is great, I don't even think about it is similar to a PCB printed circuit board.
