Macro Mondays: Mostly White

... sunken in extreme bokeh ... taken with a Zenit Helios lens

 

Germany. Macro of optical fibers. Inside Illumination with bright white light. The cylindrical fibers seam to be constricted due to extreme bokeh. Sony A7II (ILCE-7M2) with e-mount adapted multicoated (MC) lens Helios 44M-4 58/2. Sony full-frame in body image stabilization ON. ISO 400. f/2. 1/60s. Wide-open shot. Manual mode.

 

If you are interested in an image with this camera/lens combination ... here it is --> Sony A7II - ZENIT MC HELIOS-44M4 58mm1:2 . Additional equipment used for this image of the optical fibers: Teleconverter C-AF 2x Teleplus MC7 and a focussing helicoid.

 

Feel free to visit my albums. All my old lenses can be found there.

A macro view of metal hair spirals. I have no idea what these do; I just thought they looked cool. The frame represents a span of ¾ -of-an-inch across.

 

Strobist info:

The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights, a steady blue LED flashlight, and a warm overhead room light. The SB900s were positioned CL/CR and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄128 power through 24" softboxes and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs. The LED was placed at 2-o'clock.

 

Lens: Helios 44M-4 58mm f2.0 with 12mm + 20mm + 36mm extension tubes attached.

Grass mat on an old Chinese cloud bench.

For "Macro Mondays" - theme : "Holiday Lights".

...fiber optic bum bug... ;-)

The fiber holding this Burn Weed seedpod is so thin that at first glance it looks as if nothing is there. If you look very closely you may be able to just barely make out the hidden fiber. The fiber is obvious in the center right the and lower left of the picture.

Our Daily Challenge: MULTICOLOR

 

This cloth is orange, coppery, blue and there are thin stripes of red and yellow. So it very well fits the theme multicolor.

Yesterday I went north and started my day on MNR just after 910 had arrived early into Siberia. With not much else happening I waited for the 909 crew to board their power and then headed for Lakeview. Here they are hauling 910's fiber cut from the bypass out to Hardy Pond for Sunday's 908 to haul east. They had 44 cars, 11 of which pulp wood and the other 33 wood chips.

The Jute stalks stay submerged in water for 20 days. When jute stalk is well retted, after loosening the fibers, the fibers are washed with water and squeezed dry.

 

...no idea what caterpillar this is, but it looks very healthy... :-)

Joshua Tree National Park, California

 

The crown of a yucca plant against a granite outcropping. Note the mass of tough fibers splitting off from its leaves. The native American tribes used these fibers for pretty much everything for which you can imagine using fiber. Sandals, cloth, belts, baskets, ropes, and mats were all woven from yucca fiber.

Just messing around with fiber optics

After a few attempts with relatively fast-moving objects with relatively quick shutter speeds, then slower-moving objects with longer shutter speeds, I wasn't getting any motion blur. Pics looked like either a double exposure or a chaotic mess. In the end, I ended up putting my camera on a tripod and swinging this fiber optic LED light fixture suspended from the ceiling, just firing off about 50 shots while it swung at different speeds. This was the most interesting of them, to me.
