This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace. If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear. I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it. So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...
The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear. I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold. You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.

Given a colour modification & slight blur, the loft conversion continues to be a very popular way of extending the living space in houses.
The foundation. Adding on to the one room house of seven where Lester and Emerson live in rural Guatemala.
Road To Extension sculpture was donated to the Cameron Park Zoo. Solomon Bassoff created this and placed them in a 1928 Model A Ford he bought for the display. These represent endangered species.
I am still going to be off awhile. Have a great weekend.
Today's photo is a macro (with extension tube) of a Bearded Iris flower [Iris x germanica - Iridaceae family]
No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!

Found this little fellow on a board in the shed. He never moved as I took the board outside, examined him, put the board down, went inside to get the camera (conveniently already set up with an extension tube), came back out, positioned the board and took five shots! Then I blinked and he flew away :0
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.
Luss Pier on the banks of Loch Lomond is a popular tourist attraction which offers the visitor an extension out into Loch Lomond for enhanced views up and down the loch. Ben Lomond (3,196 ft) on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond is the most southerly of Scotlands Munros and lies within the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, A favourite day out for hillwalkers with a breathtaking view from it’s summit.
Fascinating concertina extension service cables for one side of a moveable pair of buildings (on tracks) that services airplane wings. The top one for compressed air is broken, while the bottom one for electricity is intact.

Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. Carrying a box of human hair extensions, it looks to me like she is the 'wig shop' store owner from up the alleyway. Enjoy!

That's a result of an experiment with a 31mm macro extension ring. It's not that good. 21mm was great but 31mm sucks a bit. I guess I was at this point before, I just forgot what the problem was.

One of Idaho's most obscure railroad operations is the Dry Valley Railroad. The short line connected to UP's Dry Valley Branch in Maybe Canyon, dropping down a 1.5% grade to Mountain Fuels.
Built in 1984 by Conda Partnerships, the route was initially a six-mile extension of UP's Dry Valley Branch from Maybe Canyon to Champ, with a three mile spur to reach Mountain Fuels phosphate loader. Doug is one of few photographers to catch the operation on film with a pair of leased Alaska Railroad FP7A locomotives.
ARR 1506 and 1508 have gathered the first cut of mine empties as they depart Maybe Canyon. The open top hoppers will load at the Mountain Fuels conveyor nine mies down the branch.
As a diabetic, I don't have candy (sweets) in the house.
Knowing the theme my daughter brought me a tube of POLOs when she visited late this afternoon.
A bit of a scramble to do anything and this then a quick 'one off' photograph.
And the POLOs turned out to be sugar free

'Halina 45mm f3.5 - 'rescued' from an old film camera.
The original existing portion of All Saints dates from the year 1230. Various subsequent additions have been made such as the tower in 1330, the north aisle and vestries in 1937, and a northern extension in 1981.

For me, I enjoy finding a mushroom emerging from the lush moss and weeds, especially when I have a longish lens. Using it with an extension tube creates a soft, mystical look, capturing the scene's ethereal beauty. The interplay of textures - the infocused mushroom cap, the fuzzy moss, the tangled weeds - makes for a visually striking composition, well, to me. I find it necessary to adjust the EV.
