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!

Nikon Z6, 11mm Extension Tube, FTZ, Tamron 90mm Macro Lens
Exposure X7, Colour Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 3
This is my first serious attempt at Macro. I used 68mm worth of extensions tubes on my AF-S 24-85mm VR since it stops down to f/29 instead of only f/16 like my 50mm prime. I didn't want to mess with trying to focus stack for just the hint more DOF that I wanted.
It's lit by 1 SB-800 which is on it's OEM stand on the table to camera left and is pointed at a wall to camera left about 2 feet away. It's set to 1/1 and 24mm zoom. The flash was triggered with a Neewer radio trigger. A homemade reflector made from aluminum foil is on the opposite side to provide a little fill.
Did you ever wonder how your computer reads data? I know I have. Coincidentally, the #MacroMonday group theme calls for #two of something.
Here we have a macro of two things: a wee platter, left, with a gizmo on the right that reads the zeros and ones. See those tiny gold things in a vertical line just about midway? Those read the platter. Or write to it. Voila. Don't ask. My husband has these parts in his office, our garage, and elsewhere.
These are definitely TWO things. That's the sum of my IT knowledge.
Nikon D810, Nikkor 105mm f/2.8
1/30 sec; f/3.3; ISO 64
manual exposure, tripod, bounced off-camera SB-800 strobe
Tried to give the gizmos a bit of a warm glow. Shot this on a dark reflective surface.
Thank you for previous kind and funny comments!
I created this crazy image for Crazy Tuesday's theme "Symmetry", but then missed the posting deadline. Many days, I have no idea what day it is. Oh well, here it is anyway. Posted to Sliders Sunday.
Photo of parts from a vintage hard drive I took apart a few months ago. Photo taken on Feb. 25, 2023.
Norio has computer parts all over the floor from a computer he is assembling. Or so I like to think...
Besides this fire-breathing dragon, Jack Rindner created animals that had appeared in full color ads for Honeywell, including a tiger, wolf, horse, rhino, sheep and fish. The Honeywell computer animals had been around for about four years at this point. Rindner selected out of bins at the Honeywell plant in Lawrence, Massachusetts the computer parts he would use to make the animals. The sculptures became Honeywell’s property after he finished them and they were displayed in Honeywell’s lobbies and meeting rooms.

Exposed hard drive.
Before taking that old PC to the junk yard, take an axe and destroy the hard drive.
An USRobotics Sportster ISA modem, originally 33.6K and later upgraded to 56K by a firmware update. It was one of the few modems that could provide a reliable connection using the late 90s post-deregulation Brazilian landlines. It was basically an USRobotics or nothing...
"Installed in 2005 at Lytton Plaza in Palo Alto, California, this 7-foot-tall egg is made from welded steel, polystyrene bead foam, epoxy resin fiberglass skin and, for the outer shell, recycled circuit boards. Created by Brazilian artists Adriana Varella and Nilton Maltz, the sculpture has different phrases relating to technology written in multiple languages on its surface. Commissioned by the Palo Alto Public Arts Commission, the artwork is meant to honor the city’s role in birthing the tech-heavy Silicon Valley."
