Macro Mondays - Handle
One of a pair of commemorative teaspoons to celebrate our Queen's Coronation on 2nd June 1953
"Purple Handle" 2014
Rue Notre Dame, Bordeaux. The handle 'was' purple but now most of the paint is scratched off. A simple yet elegant ( and somewhat Gothic or Art Deco ? ) design. The deep dark black is a bit scarey !
« Poignée violette 2014
Rue Notre Dame, Bordeaux. La poignée « était » violette mais la plupart de la peinture est maintenant grattée. Un design simple mais élégant (un peu gothique ou art déco ?) Le noir profond est effrayant ..
For Macro Mondays theme - Handle with care. This Venetian shot glass, along with the other 5 glasses and decanter is one of the few sets of breakable items that survived the Christchurch earthquakes over the last 5 years in our home. Glass is smaller than credit card.
Given to me by my father-in-law when he returned from an overseas trip in the 1970's HMM

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.”

Strobist info: an SB-900 speedlight shot through a 95 cm octagonal softbox with a grid positioned above and slightly in front the model. The speedlight was triggered by the camera's built-in flash set in CLS commander mode. I attached Nikon's SG-31R IR panel in front of the camera flash to prevent it from influencing the exposure.
After a chat with Dennis R about possible avenues to pursue with blanking off the middle of the frame and adding en extra element to fill the middle I came up with this. A tunnel with a silhouette would have been my preference but that will have to wait.

Our dreams all rely upon the collective appreciation and respect of others' dreams. What may seem like magic to you may very well be a punch in the gut to someone else working hard, living consciously and trying to make a go in life. Your magic crystals may be someone else's broken dreams. Don't be too selfish to see what impact you're having on the world.
Bei der letzten Oltimer show sah ich auf einer Motorhaube diesen roten Griff. Ich hatte sowas noch nie gesehen.
Hier bei Flickr gibt es aber schlaue Menschen, die sowas wissen und ich bekam Diese Auskunft:
"Der rote Griff dient zum Abschalten der elektrischen Anlage des Fahrzeugs. Es wird von Rettungskräften verwendet, wenn es auf einer Rennstrecke zu Zusammenstößen und Feuer kommt. Es ist zumindest bei einigen Rennstrecken Pflichtausrüstung."
Mein Wochenende wird sehr stressig und ich wünschte mir so einen Hebel für mich und keinen Regen.....
At the last Oltimer show I saw this red handle on a bonnet. I had never seen anything like it.
But here at Flickr there are smart people who know more than I do and I got this information:
"the red handle is used to shut off the electrical system on the car. It is used by rescue workers if there is a crash and fire on a race track.It is mandatory equipment at least some race tracks."
My weekend is very stressful and I wanted such a handle for me and no rain .....
Door handles on the left side of an ancient 1952 FX Holden.
On display at the Queensland Museum, this was an actual car owned by local legend George Kiprios who regularly drove around the streets of Brisbane with radio blaring with rock-and-roll music. The 1952 FX Holden was the first truly Australian car manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions. Over time it was the most famous Holden in Brisbane, loved for its steady presence and George's idiosyncratic customisation.
Created for Macro Mondays theme "Handle With Care".
Compare to Single or Double-Edge Razors, these cartridge type razors are smooth and safe, but you still need to handle them with care to avoid nicks.

A straight out of camera shot of a cactus (an Agave Parviflora perhaps?) I took at Winterbourne Gardens. The rendering of the background as it blurs out is handled beautifully by the Sigma lens here.
My wife has given her consent to my using this image of one of her Rheumatoid Arthritis treatments for this week's 'Handle With Care' theme.
Technical: this image started out as a focus stack of 15 images of the syringe on a mirror with a black background taken at f/10.0 (now that I know the sweet spot after last week's brilliant challenge!) and processed in Helicon Focus. The resulting image was then transferred to Photoshop for extensive dust-spot removal (on the mirror, not my sensor!). Back in Lightroom I applied sharpening to the whole image and a graduated filter to tone down the reflection. Finally, a radial 4-stop filter ensured the surrounding black areas were fully black!
Happy Macro Monday to everyone.

This is the handle of my Henckel Kitchen Scissors. They are very diverse! I actually measured them using the 3" rule.

Aerial photograph of the British Sugar factory, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk — one of only four remaining sugar beet processing plants still operating in the UK. Opened in the late 1920s, it has grown into a vast, highly efficient industrial complex, handling over two million tonnes of beet every year during the autumn and winter campaign. The factory produces around a quarter of a million tonnes of refined sugar annually, together with valuable by-products including animal feed, lime for agriculture, and bioethanol.
The six tall silos store tens of thousands of tonnes of finished sugar, while the circular tanks and clarifiers handle beet juice and wastewater treatment. The surrounding lagoons and settling ponds are part of the site’s environmental management system. Steam billows from the main chimney as part of the energy recovery process — much of the plant’s heat is recycled to improve efficiency.
British Sugar’s Bury St Edmunds site plays a vital role in East Anglia’s long-standing beet industry, supporting hundreds of local farmers and marking nearly a century of continuous production.
