colour and the floral settings impressed me.

thanks for every one for views, faves, and comments.

Chain reaction caught midway through the line of small wooden matches being set afire. Under 3 inches.

A shallow-dof shot of some condensation in the lid of my kettle.

In post-processing I started with the wrong white balance to get the amethyst colour, and then I twiddled a bit more :D

HMM :D

This tiny sewing kit even had a safety pin and two little buttons! (Not shown)

Less than 2inches/5cm.

NOT for #MacroMondays. So many creative macro photographers!

Nachdem ich hier nun wieder eine ganze Weile abwesend war, möchte ich nun versuchen meine aufgelaufene Bilderflut der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. :)

Das heutige Bild ist für mich ein ganz besonderes, darum springe ich zurück in den April diesen Jahres.... Während ich mich all die Jahre erfolgreich vor dem Virus abducken konnte, erwischte es mich nun also doch. Ich musste aufgrund dessen dann in Quarantäne und beschloss jeden Tag ein Bild aufzunehmen. Ich wollte mir selbst beweisen, dass man keine schöne Landschaften und/oder Sonnenuntergänge benötigt um etwas tolles auf den Sensor zu bannen. Gesagt! Getan! Ich bin eben ein Macher, Zeit hatte ich schließlich in diesen Tagen genug... :D (kleiner Einspieler an dieser Stelle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbHGS_bVkXY)

Da ich von dem Ergebnis so fasziniert war (fragt mich lieber nicht wie lange ich bis zur Vollendung benötigt habe ^^) reichte ich es anschließend bei der "NURIA Kunstausstellung" ein. Offenbar war ich mit meiner Faszination nicht alleine und so waren die Formalitäten schnell erledigt. Mein Werk wurde dann vom 10.06.2022 - 12.06.2022 in der Festhalle der Stadt Ilmenau ausgestellt. Ich bin immernoch stolz wie Bolle wenn ich daran zurück denke! :)

Habt ihr eine Idee wie dieses Bild entstanden ist?

______________________________________________

After being absent here for quite a while, I would now like to try to present my accumulated flood of pictures to the public. :)

Today's picture is a very special one for me, so I'm jumping back to April this year.... While I was able to successfully duck the virus all these years, it caught me after all. I had to go into quarantine and decided to take a picture every day. I wanted to prove to myself that you don't need beautiful landscapes and/or sunsets to capture something great on the sensor. Said! Done! I am a doer, I had enough time these days... :D

Since I was so fascinated by the result (don't ask me how long it took me to finish it ^^) I submitted it to the "NURIA Art Exhibition" afterwards. Apparently I was not alone with my fascination and so the formalities were quickly completed. My work was then exhibited from 10.06.2022 - 12.06.2022 in the festival hall of the city of Ilmenau. I'm still proud as punch when I think back on it! :)

Do you have any idea how this picture came about?
