#Heart
The Look of Love, or rather the hazy gaze of love, which it often is, isn't it, when we fall in love with someone or something, and all of a sudden our mind turns off, and the yummy, yummy, yummy butterflies in our tummy take over...
When it comes to "Heart", I have already shot my bolt, or rather Cupid's arrow, with my image for last week's MM theme (which you can find in the first comment) ;) So I had to find something else for the actual "Heart" theme today because I didn't want to use the small silver heart pendant so soon again for another MM. I don't have many heart-shaped things at home, so at first, I considered buying something for the theme, but then thought "No, put your thinking cap on!" I have this sachet full of white, pink, and purple coloured Swarovski crystals in many different shapes (which I have already used for a few MM themes before), and among them are a few heart-shaped stones. That was my starting point. But I didn't want to present the crystals in a too kitschy way – and that was the difficult part ;) To make it short, a small two-in-one pocket magnifier with two plastic loupes came to my rescue. I have no idea where I have it from, it must have been a giveaway maybe at a DIY shop (the imprint says "Coilcraft, Cumbernauld, Scotland), I really don't know how it came into my possession, and I also had completely forgotten about it, when I stumbled upon it last week while looking for something else. It started with "Now where is that darn thing?!" (the one I was actually looking for), and happily ended with "Oh, what have we got here?" Because when you pull out both loupes from their protective plastic casing and arrange them in a certain way they form a heart shape. Nice :)
The width of the frame is 6 cm / 2,36 inches. Setup: I "glued" the two heart-shaped crystals onto a piece of gold-coloured carboard with modeling clay. Then I placed the loupe right in front of the two hearts, very, very close because otherwise, the hearts would have been a mere pinkish blur. I did some focus stacking, but it didn't look nice at all with everything in the frame sharp. So I went for a "single photo approach" with focus on the "eyes" (and once again that was my last photo). That did the trick ;) Processing-wise, I didn't do much this time, just the basics in DXO, some masking in LR, and as a finishing touch I applied a Film type in Analog Efex, one from the "Subtle" palette – and only today did I discover that these different film simulations have names, not just numbers, so from now on I can always tell you which of the simulations I have used exactly: here it was "Asai 2" :)

From www.birdnote.org/listen/shows/nictitating-membranes-natur...
"For most birds, keen eyesight is absolutely critical — for finding food, spotting predators, and generally staying alive. But many birds lead lives that could be very hard on the eyes.
"Fortunately, birds have evolved a structure for protecting their eyes. Like humans, they have upper and lower outer eyelids. But beneath the outer eyelids lies an extra eyelid, called the nictitating membrane. Nictitating, for all its alliterative syllables, simply means “blinking”. This extra eyelid is hinged at the inner side of the eye and sweeps horizontally across the cornea. The nictitating membrane is largely transparent, and it helps keep the eye moist and clean while guarding it from wind, dust, and hazards.
“Reptiles and some mammals have the extra eyelid, too.”

"Brass Goggles" by Steam Powered Giraffe
Come with me I'll show you how to be a metal man
When the gears are turning and the fires are burning
When the world ticks around you,
Voices tocking all the time
And you live for sleep you've never slept
Because you cannot sleep
Sussy is ready to jump into the pool!

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of TV Show Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.
