Electromagnetic coils on an old graphics card.
From the basic electronic components I always found the coil the hardest to understand. In addition to the invisible current you suddenly also have this invisible magnetic force (flux). But it's a beautiful component making it a nice subject for this week's theme.
Thanks for all your comments and faves, they are really appreciated. Happy Macro Monday!
My first steps into medium format photography.
I never buy things that everyone else is looking for..... but that i'd buy me one of these was a surprise for me as well!
A little luck and a small coincidence, it was the only one for sale on the entire internet!
So, i'll have to learn a lot before i can produce some decent 6x7 shots i guess!!

Some of my friends ask me what is my favorite camera, this is really a difficult question to answer, in fact, I was quite lacking knowledge of the camera :)
The 4 cameras are my grandfather and my father gave me, when I was teenager, they accompany me almost more than 20 years, very practical and the price is reasonable, especially for who like black and white film. Which I especially like Seagull 4A and Phoenix 205, they are not heavy, easy to carry, you can also do some simple modifications.
Beginning last year, I often use a digital camera, Ricoh GR, it was my girlfriend gave me a New Year's gift, I think all guys know that if you do not regularly use your girlfriend’s gift, which means the world doomsday is coming soon, so…
Thank you for read my broken English, bring your camera and have a good day:)
Man, was this one difficult! These little robbers are incredibly skittish - an absolute pain (literally!) to shoot. They will hold onto their perch (usually the outer tip of leaves) no matter how hard the wind may blow - but as soon as you get anywhere near them, touch the leaf they are on (no matter how gently) they will fly right away. So I have found that the only way to photograph them is to just stand there and shoot away without any means of stability.
Somehow I found one little guy that would let me get close enough to focus, and 66 shots later, over a period of about 10 minutes of standing bent over with sweat pooling in my eyes, the leaf blowing in the wind, and my hands shaking from fatigue – I just gave up and checked to see if I got anything at all. Out of all those shots – about 30 missed the fly entirely, 33 were completely out of focus, and 3 were good enough to focus stack. I was ecstatic! 3 good photos taken completely handheld in windy conditions at 5:1 magnification at f/8 is no small feat! And even better – the background wasn’t black!
I realize I’ve posted this same species several times now, but that doesn’t matter – these little Holcocephala robbers are just too amazing not to post.

Macro Mondays 'inside electronics' theme.
I thought I would have to miss this week as I really didn't think I had anything interesting to fit the theme. I took this shot just after the theme was announced and almost discarded it, but this afternoon had another look and decided it was worth processing and submitting to the group, and at least I haven't missed a week.
This section of my old mobile measures approx 2.5 x 1.7 cm.

A Stylophone, a musical device that was popular in the late 60's and early 70's often as a Christmas present for children. It briefly found fame however when David Bowie used one in his "Space Oddity" recording.
Finally, my 3 essays are completed for Uni and I've managed to tidy up my massive stack of books from the side of my desk
