it was extremely curious and came even closer than my camera could focus.

 

Sie war extrem neugierig und kam noch näher als meine Kamera fokussieren konnte.

#Lensbaby

 

For the "Eye" theme I've photographed an item that has been on my Macro Mondays "to do" list for a very long time: an Eye of Fatima pendant my mother brought along for me from a trip to Israel in April 1999. It's a handcrafted silver beauty made by Shimshon Ben-Yeheskiel of The Cardo Charm silversmith's in Jerusalem. To this day, my mother gets a Jewish New Year card by Shimshon's daughter Galit who is The Cardo Charm's artist in resident. The Eye of Fatima, also known as Hamsa, The Eye of Miriam (or Mary), or The Eye of the Goddess is a common symbol and talisman in North Africa and the Middle East, and it's believed to ward off the evil eye and jinns.

 

The "Eye" on my pendant is a round turquoise gemstone with a diameter of 0,7 cm / 0,27 inches (after all it's Monday and size matters ;) ). I've used my new Lensbaby SOL 22 to photograph the pendant. While this tiltable lens with a fixed aperture of F/3.5 isn't a native macro lens, I was very pleased to find out that I can turn it into a decent macro lens when I use the 16 mm extension tube which brings you very close to the subject. The SOL 22 has two inbuilt, flame-shaped (sort of) bokeh filters which you can push in front of the lens (only one, both of them, or none at all) and also rotate. These filters create a kind of stripy (difficult to describe) bokeh effect. Here, I hadn't pushed them fully in front of the lens, just a wee tiny bit, which created a nice 3D bokeh. Processed in DXO FilmLab and Analog Efex (for a slightly matte look).

 

HMM, Everyone, and stay safe and healthy!

 

Für das "Eye"-Thema habe ich ein Objekt fotografiert, das schon sehr lange auf meiner Macro-Mondays-To-do-Liste steht: Einen silbernen "Hand der Fatima"-Anhänger, den mir meine Mutter von einer Israel-Reise im Jahr 1999 mitgebracht hat. Das wunderschöne Stück wurde von Shimshon Ben-Yeheskiel von der Silberschmiede "The Cardo Charm" in Jersusalem handgefertigt. Bis heute erhält meine Mutter jedes Jahr zum jüdischen Neujahrsfest eine Karte von Shimshons Tochter Galit, die das Handwerk ihres Vaters fortführt.

 

Die "Hand der Fatima" ist ein in Nordafrika und im Mittleren Osten weit verbreitetes Symbol, das als Talisman zur Abwehr von Dschinns und des bösen Blicks verwendet wird. Bei meinem Anhänger ist das "Auge" ein kleiner runder Türkis, der von aufwendigen Verzierungen aus Silberband umgeben ist. Fotografiert habe ich den Anhänger mal nicht mit meinem Makroobjektiv, sondern mit meinem neuen Lensbaby SOL 22. Das mit einer festen Blende von F/3.5 ausgestattete und schwenkbare Objektiv ist zwar nicht als Makro ausgelegt, mit einem 16mm-Zwischenring kann man es aber als Makro nutzen und ist damit schon sehr nah am Motiv dran. Fest eingebaut im vorderen Element sind zwei flammenförmige Bokehfilter, die man wahlweise einzeln oder auch beide vor die Linse schieben und auch drehen kann, was einen streifigen Bokeh-Effekt ergibt. Hier habe ich beide Filter nur ganz wenig vor die Linse geschoben, was im unscharfen Bereich im Hintergrund einen schönen 3D-Effekt (finde ich) erzeugt hat. Entwickelt in DXO FilmLab und Analog Efex (für einen etwas weicheren, matten Look).

 

Habt eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, und passt gut auf Euch auf!

The hamsa is believed to provide defence against the evil eye.

 

It is palm-shaped amulet which is popular throughout North Africa and the Middle East and due to this popularity, it is commonly used as a design for jewelry and wall hangings and depicts an open right hand clutching an evil eye! And you get two eyes on this amulet for the price of one!

The Evil Eye means that someone with negative thoughts or an envious look can harm another. This is often done intentionally, but not always! Unconscious, envious thoughts can also harm someone through evil looks. The nazar amulet is said to protect you from harmful looks from others.

Last minute decision against the W.E. Hill & Sons varnish cleaner bottle, and for the dishwasher tab. Did some last adjustments for it in LR today, and just for fun added a vignette - and the Evil Eye appeared.

 

Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate every single one, and your faves!

  

Bei der Suche nach etwas Giftigem im Haushalt fand ich ein Lackreiniger-Fläschchen von W.E. Hill & Sons mit hübschem Logo und Warnzeichen und ein Spülmaschinentab. Eigentlich hatte ich mich auch schon für das Fläschchen entschieden, aber bei letzten Anpassungen am Spüler-Tab rein zum Spaß heute in LR habe ich entdeckt, dass mit Vignette ein Auge aus dem giftigen Teilchen entsteht. Daher fiel die Wahl in letzter Minute doch auf das Tab.

 

Vielen Dank für Eure tollen Kommentare und Faves!

  

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

There is religion or spirituality around that is captive to social conformity or even happy to make peace with the status quo. There are voices telling you that in order to submit to God you need to have an infantile fixation with paternal authority. This is superstition.

Belief in the evil eye goes back thousands of years in the wider Mediterranean basin, where the omnipresent blue beads came to be used extensively.

Jasper gives one of his toys a malicious glare - the evil eye! 52 Weeks for Dogs "Eyes" challenge.

 

To make this shot, i put Jasper against a black backdrop, turned out the lights and shined a flashlight on his face. Then I gave him the "look evil" command that every puppy is taught along with "sit" and "down"

Another one from my hike around Gowbarrow Fell last Saturday up in the Lake District. This little fellow decided to do a little staring competition with me trying to stop me from passing. He is actually standing on the path blocking it making it impossible to pass without taking him on.. Got my camera out, taking my time with settings and he just stood there patiently waiting for my next move... In the end I think his mum got more nervous about our competition and called him over. He VERY reluctantly moved aside letting me pass... Funny creatures!!

This is something you'll see around a lot in Cyprus and Turkey or Greece for that matter

Let me know what you think!

 

Everything you did, was watching me

Waiting for my next mistake

And with every mistake

You’ll get angry at me

Screamed at me

Telling me, I’m not worth it

I can’t do anything right

You treated me like this since the day I was born

So you taught me to be mad at myself for every single mistake

And so on I had to punish myself

I started to cut myself

For every single mistake I did

Now look at me

My chest is completely sliced

My body ain’t healing anymore

And you’re still just watching

Till I cut my heart

Till I faint

And lay motionless on the ground

And you’re still watching

If you`re out on a moonlit night

Be careful of the neighborhood strays

Of a lady with long black hair

Tryin` to win you with her feminine ways

Crystal ball on the table showing the future the past

Same cat with them evil eyes you`d better get out oh there fast
