Cup and saucer. Can't have one without the other. Someone said that once...or was that about love and marriage?! Oh yeah, Frank Sinatra.
Macro Mondays. Screw
This monument was constructed to remember all the screws that have come and gone.
The monument is made from a 1-1/2 inch magnet and 13 screws measuring from 3/4 inch and 2-1/2 inches.
I did learn several things about screws at the hardware store. There are many different types of screws, 42 types to be exact.
These are Flat Phillips. Also by trial and error I found out brass screws, my first choice because they're prettier, don't stick on a magnet, duh! And then I bored the guy helping me with Flickr pictures of all your cool Macro Mondays screw pictures. He was impressed!!
Canon EF 4/70-200L (Non-IS)) with 3 stacked Kenko extension tubes. The good old EF Zoom turned out to be a cool Macro. The distance to the object was about 50cm.
I took this a few days ago now. I started my day by driving to Banff. First on the list was Two Jack Lake. It yielded me images like this plus some other really cool macro shots.
Ferrite core memory from an IBM 360 main frame computer for the Macro Monday's group, challenge: My Closest. The markings on the wooden rule are 1mm. Two large markings are 1cm. Closest without a crop.
Happy Macro Monday!
Based on all of the cool images I have seen posted for this week's challenge, I'm afraid I took the challenge far too literally and didn't even think about how to meet the challenge artistically like so many of you did. Way to go! Some really cool macros this week!
It's wonderful to walk right out from the patio down to the pond! So many cool macro subjects. Familiar Bluets everywhere!!!
I was rummaging through some stuff recently and came across a little demonstration circuit board that I obtained during my working career as a trade journalist. The board contained this device, which is smaller than my thumbnail, and I thought it might make a cool macro.
I don't remember a lot about it, but I think this device was intended to demonstrate the ability of the sponsoring company to construct tiny circuit connections. This would have been from the early 1990s, and must have been a device made for Sandia Labs and Aptos Corp. It was photographed at 2X magnification. You can zoom in for a closer look.
Woke up this morning to it only being 30 degrees which means there was a little bit of frost! I even had to dig out my winter hat to go shooting this morning.
It might be time to buy that macro lens again. I owned one once before but I jumped into macro photography way too early and got discouraged but now that I've learned to see finer details in things I'm getting the macro bug. Haha.
Not the photo I was planning on upload today but I coulden't resist, really wanted to share this one today!
Moving to California, my wife knew I would need a hat to better protect my bald pate than my usual ballcap. She bought me a nice hat at The Huntington Gardens gift shop -- light, breezy, soft -- and made from recycled paper! Also makes a cool macro, IMHO. HMM to all.
macromonday-- the theme this week (1/18/16) is vegetables and i am sure there is someone who might think a mushroom doesn't fit but it's such a cool macro that i had to move it up in the photostream and use it for one of my postings ~grin~

2/25/13.... only one more mushie pic to go, folks, then i will move on to another veggie ~grin~ check out the album for more mushroom pics

LBS shot
hmm, must ask david about the best/approved way to clean the LBS
I was away from the computer all day and had no time to flickr. Managed to get some cool macros, though, as I was outdoors in the morning. Now it's late, but before I went to bed I wanted to share with you a photo of the first damselfly I spotted this year :-)
I think it's a female, but I don't know exactly what species...
Best viewed Large On Black.
I will be out for most of the day tomorrow, too. Hope to get some more photos. I wish you all a wonderful weekend and promise to visit your photostreams soon!
Here's a new one I got while out last week with friends on nice mellow hike. Got lots of cool macros and intimate scenes. It was a great way to walk off a good lunch.
FlickrFriday: Hand tools. For photography, I like any object at home that can be turned into a cool macro, or bokeh.
Our Daily Challenge: Brush(es)
Compositionally Challenged: Reflections week - the brush is a reflection, everything that is 'real' is blurred and turned into bokeh. :-)

Jumping spider from Ecuador
For more cool macro-photos and fun animal life stories go to www.wise-photo.com.
The world needs more jumping spiders. Fair enough, the jumping spider family, Salticidae, is already the largest family of spiders, and there are about 5,000 different species. But I cannot get enough of this wonderful little spider. Jumping spiders are very curious. The trick to photographing them is to snap them before they jump onto your camera lens. Please tell me if you work out how to do that easily.
i really wish i knew what that vegetation was actually called. there's lots of it growing on the hillside next to highway 1 near second narrows bridge in vancouver. some kind of wild grass that makes me think of grain..
the police had set up a traffic diversion on the highway, about 300m away, hence the coloured lights.
I've been trying to get some cool macro shots and to get the dof needed I quickly learned I needed to use my flash gun. I had the sync cord already but the flash was never where I needed it and a ring flash is just not in the cards so I'm trying this setup out.
I just received this handy flex arm today. Heavier than I thought it would be but it's perfect to keep the flash where I want it but still able to adjust where the light is coming from. It works much better than the umbrella holder I had on the previous shot especially because I can move it clear to the side easily. The sync cord allows me to shoot in E-TTL.
