This is left hand, palm side between 2nd and 3rd digit (you can see a ring), backlit with an LED torch. You can also see some veins in the top finger which I'd not noticed when doing this previously.
Sometimes I think that it would be worth exploring taking macro abstracts of different parts of the body. But there are two obvious problems though.
First, the only person in the house that would put up with such a project also needs to be clicking the shutter.
Second, how on earth do you get rid of all those Wrinkles of Wisdom? (By the way, I'm still waiting in the hope that the Wisdom will turn up real soon - the wrinkles have been here for quite a while now.) And in any case, why do you think I chose the palm-side?
This was another idea that turned out to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. It was a task and a half to take, trying to compose and focus in the dark, trip the shutter and keep in the same position without moving (Ed: that's what same position means, surely?)... This is the best of about 20 - it took that long to get a half-workable technique.

Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy smiles for Saturday!!
[Tripod mount. LED torch back-lighting. Manual focus. Delayed shutter. High auto ISO, as small an aperture as I could bear.
Processed in Photolab 2 for the Prime noise reduction.
Cropped in Affinity Photo to get the main diagonal bright line going through one of the corners but still have the two other diagonals showing lightly.
Sharpened using Unsharp Mask and High Pass/Linear blend. Reduced clarity to soften the textures and noise.
More denoise.

I've discovered that because Flickr uses 8 bit jpegs rather than 16-bit pngs and there is a very limited colour range in the picture, the red gradients don't work as well as they might, particularly on some of my devices :(]
A suspicious device was across the street from Toys R Us. They blocked off one of the entrances to the Lakeland Square Mall. Lakeland Police was first on scene. LPD doesn't have a bomb squad, so they had to wait on TPD's bomb squad to arrive. After close investigation, it was determined to be a low jack device beeping because the vehicle it was taken off of, was stolen.
Music & the devices we have invented to listen to it are amazing discoveries/inventions that humankind has created. I know music makes me smile. :)
In 1877 the first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison. The phonograph was the first method of recording and playing back sound. This was Edison's first great invention. Thanks Thomas Edison you helped millions of people smile and not just on Saturdays.

With the new Biopic "Oppenheimer" coming to most theaters today I thought it might be interesting to have a look at the Trinity Device aka known as The Gadget the output product of The Manhattan Project. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project with a yield of energy equivalent to 24.8 ± 2 kilotons of TNT.
After the successful test Oppenheimer is said to have quoted a passage from the Hindu scripture, the "Bhagavad Gita;" "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
This inert model of the Trinity Device is located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
There's a minor pond in a little town in Frederick County, Maryland that gave me a huge but simple scene to photograph
while back in the eastern US for the holidays.
Angles Pond was the name I gave this little water feature on the edge of a charming town called Burkittsville, in Maryland. There are a lot of angles in this particular capture, and I chose to name the pond after the photo's character, primarily so I'll remember it
far into the future.
I have a great many photographs of ponds, each one with a different name and, as such, a different and unique identification.
Angles Pond is now added to that list. So far this mnemonic device is working pretty well.

Another image from Mill Meece Pumping Station, Staffordshire.
In case anyone is interested, Mill Meece are hosting an open evening on Friday 16th May between 18:00 and 22:00 when the station will be lit by oil lamps to create an ambient atmosphere.
I have contacted the organisers to ask whether a) photographers are welcome and b) can we use tripods in the low lighting. They are more than happy with both. If you plan to go then I look forward to seeing you there.
BTW I am not associated with MMPS in any way other than living nearby and visiting whenever I can.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. So much of our life is now experienced through screens of various sizes and this shot captured my imagination for that narrative. The eye contact from the woman on the bench was unexpected as she was equally engrossed in her 'device' just a beat before I clicked the shutter.
The tricky thing about these squares is that you end up needing to create two black areas of 1×17 plates for their sides, which is tricky enough. On top of that each square is then 17×17 plates, which makes it hard to fit in system.
If you put two close together and add a 1×17 plates white area, the total will be 35×17 plates and 35 plates = 14 studs. That makes it a lot easier to fit in system with minimal parts used to fix it all up!
I'm planning to use this in a pit-lane for my F1 Space Racer. That will have 4 mobile antigravity devices used to keep the ship in the air when it's in the pit. These will need a place to stay when not in use, so I plan to use this to mark 4 places to put them.

The house at Wonderland ranch with a nearby joshua tree casting a moon shadow. It has also been called the Ohlson House, maybe for its owner. There really isn't much of anything about the place.
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, handheld light producing device set to blue & pink. Yes, the house is already pink.

This huge three-fingered machine, equipped with an anti-gravity device, was used in factories and other places where heavy objects were carried or dangerous work was performed.
Originally, it was worn on the hand, but there are many discarded items that have been modified as weapons.
The modified version incorporates a levitation mechanism and a neural connection controller, making it a huge hammer with great destructive power and a favorite of the rioter.

A scale or balance is a device used to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, massometers, and weight balances.
'early warning device' On Black
This is called "aka tonbo" 赤とんぼ in Japanese, literally-- red dragonfly.
I like the red rectangular pattern near the tip of the wings:)
Éxtasis a tope este pasado fin de semana en La Mancha.
A lovely birdwatching weekend trip to a dry lake in the middle of Spain where temperatures were raising up to 44º C during the day. Here a bearded reedling was getting cooler.

You have a device next to your heart designed to shock you if your rhythm is in a bad state. That device is monitored by a computer that still uses weird serial ports and 3.5” floppy disk. Do you feel comforted?
On our recent trip to see the Sandhill Cranes, we spotted two Sandhills who had solar GPS trackers on their legs. This is the first time I've seen this type of tracking device on a bird. Not the best photos, I couldn't get a good angle but still I found it very cool to see! They must be incredibly light and not too intrusive for the bird, but I often wonder about that.
We've seen many different types of tags over the years though mostly leg bands, a flag leg band, neck bands, wing tags and a radio antenna attached to the back of a Red Knot. I think the devices we have seen on the Ridgway's Rails at Arrowhead Marsh were GPS trackers but they were attached to the back of the bird.
Qué mejor tarde que esta para probar sus primeros filtros Hitech con porta Lucroit. Suertudo !!! jajajaja
What a good sunset to try his first filters !!! We were very fortunate with the sky and its light that day on this local beach ...

A substantial tracking device is attached to the legs of a Sandhill Crane I photographed 9/28/2024 in a central Washington State cut cornfield - west of Othello Washington near the O'Sullivan dam and reservoir.
Visitors to the reconstructed site of old Dejima at Nagasaki, Japan, check their devices for messages.
The Cask Widge is a weighted float tube and apparatus that combines the functions of a keystone tap and a venting peg. It can be used where space is at a premium and when a cask cannot be stored and/or served horizontally. The device allows beer to be pulled from a cask that is being stored vertically. The Cask Widge is also useful at outdoor festivals, to keep a cask cool when serving via handpump.
***************
▶ Pictured:
The cask widge tubing (24.5 inches) is inserted through the tap, weighted end (another 2.5 inches) first. The weight will hold the tube suspended within the cask about 8 inches under the top level of the beer. The weight will sink as the beer is pulled, unfurling the tubing until it is fully extended reaching the bottom of the nearly emptied cask. Just above the weight is the intake port in the tubing. It is covered by mesh to prevent ingress of cold break (protein sludge), yeast, or hops. [The short tube to the right is in the CO2 venting & air ingress tube. which on a horizontally placed cask would be the separate shive bung and tut.]

O - Off the Grid
From time to time we all need an escape from the maddening pace of daily life and to disengage from our electronic devices. What does your doll do to unwind and recharge? Does your doll have a favorite weekend camping spot near the lake where he/she can kayak, fish, and sleep in a tent under the stars? Does your doll seek peace at a cabin getaway in the woods where he/she can cuddle up with his/her fur babies near a log fire? Perhaps a quiet horseback ride across the country side is your doll's favorite pastime. Or maybe a day at the spa is your doll's ideal way to rejuvenate both inside and out. Show us how your doll shuts out the noise of daily life and technology to be alone with his/her thoughts.

Sometimes you don't need to go very far at all to find your very own 'Off The Grid' place. For me it is when I am in my ballet class. The world recedes, I live only in that moment and experience a feeling of utter joy! For me that is off the grid:-))) Represented here by the gorgeous Karolin Stone, my latest new arrival.
This photograph captures a single pedestrian ascending a covered, zigzagging footbridge in Sikar, Rajasthan during bright afternoon light (2:55 pm). Shot hand-held with a mobile device (M2103K191) at f/1.79, 1/2445 s, 4.70 mm, ISO 50, the image deliberately uses high contrast and silhouette to reduce the scene to graphic lines, repeating roof profiles, and the human form in motion. My intent was to emphasize architectural rhythm and the smallness of an individual against industrial infrastructure — using negative space and a muted sky to heighten isolation and movement. The corrugated canopy and railings create diagonal layers that lead the eye from left to right; the lone figure breaks the pattern and provides a human anchor.
