Avec de l'imagination, de petites lamelles de papier de couleur peuvent aider à construire des autoroutes empilées les unes sur les autres. #Macro #MacroMondays #Layer
"I need help……I'm lost in this white cold world…... do you know which way to go to find the green trees and the sunshine……?", asks this very tiny elephant……
He sure is tiny, only 1,5cm width and height 3cm, including his trunk ;-))
For the Macro Mondays theme 'Hard Light'.
Happy Macro Monday everybody!
Alrhough this technique is simple enough, I was really wanting that right item to photograph. I liked this idea.
Happy Macro Mondays

#Nuts
Pareidolia gone nuts? I was lucky that I still had the package of walnut halves that I'd bought for the "In Ice" theme (please see the first comment). So I thought I'd continue that story: a "brain", finally freed from the restrictions of its former ice skull housing – what would it do? I think it would begin to curiously discover its new world, discover its own intellect (without the interfering thoughts of its previous owner) – much like a child that grows up and gets more and more independent, and has an enormous hunger for knowledge, but also for mischief and fun :) My first idea was to make a pair of glasses for the brain / walnut; I thought I'd use jewellery wire for it, but then I looked at the small walnut halves and the thin wire, and thought: impossible! Unachievable! Too difficult for my clumsy hands! Well, I might have given it a (most likely unsuccessful) try, but went looking for nuts in the toolbox instead, nuts small enough to serve as eyes. So may I introduce you to Frankie, the brain that set out to conquer the macro world – but should adjust its eyes first :)
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Die Muttern aller Kopfnüsse
So erschien mir dieses Thema zunächst – es erwies sich dann aber als erstaunlich leicht und schnell umsetzbar. Zum Glück hatte ich noch Walnüsse vom Thema "In Ice" übrig, und so dachte ich auch gleich daran, die Geschichte des "Gehirns" im Eisschädel (siehe ersten Kommentar) weiterzuspinnen. Was würde so ein Gehirn, plötzlich ganz auf sich allein gestellt, weil vom Eise, damit aber auch von den störenden Gedanken seines ehemaligen Besitzers befreit, wohl tun? Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es wie ein Kind seine neue Welt erkundet, wissbegierig und neugierig, dabei auch stets zum einen oder anderen Unfug bereit. Um also der Walnuss alias Hirn ein Gesicht zu geben, dachte ich daran, ihm / ihr eine Brille aus Schmuckdraht zu basteln. Je mehr ich aber überlegte, wie ich das wohl elegant anstellen könnte (z.B. unter Zuhilfenahme von Buntsstiften für die runde Gläserform), ohne mir dabei die Finger und gleich auch noch den Draht unrettbar zu verbiegen, desto lauter wurde der (gedankliche) Ruf nach einer einfacheren Lösung. Also habe ich den Werkzeugkasten nach möglichst kleinen Muttern als "Augen" durchstöbert – und wurde zum Glück fündig :) Darf ich also vorstellen: Frankie, das Hirn :)
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne erste Mai-Woche, passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
J'ai eu droit ce matin très tôt à un arc-en-ciel à dominance jaune qui est rentré dans la maison. Je n'ai hésité à le prendre en photo et cette macro témoigne de la fréquence jaune. C'est tombé à pic pour le thème Yellow de Macro Mondays de d ce lundi à venir. #Macro #MacroMondays #Yellow

An oldie from Berlin's Olympiastadion. Every time I flip through my LR catalogue and stumble upon these Olympic Stadium images from 2018, I think "There are a few nice ones from that walk", then I go on and forget about them because I stumble upon other "nice" older images that I might still upload. And the images from that August 2018 photowalk return to their deep slumber... So as not to forget about them for yet another year I spontaneously decided to upload one that looks good in b&w, because today it's (Monochrome) Thursday.
August 2018 had been very hot and sunny, and sunny means interesting-looking shadows as you can see here at the Olympic Stadium's ground floor gallery. The shadow lettering says "Unterring" (lower gallery) and "Oberring" (upper gallery). I was also lucky that three visitors happened to appear at the gallery and walked away from me, so it was easy to add some "human factor" to the scene without the risk of being busted ;)
This photo has been waiting on my hard drive readily processed. All I did today in addition to that was to add just a hint of warmth with the Reflector Efex (soft gold) filter in Color Efex which also helped to slightly brighten the gallery's ceiling.
Happy Monochrome Thursday, Everyone!
Spiral from a ballpoint ben on wrapping paper which graphic black and white design. I took the picture during sunshine this morning, so little work involved !

This capture of the macro at f/2.8 really makes that bokeh pop in the 'hard light'. You can compare this to the one at f/22 below in the comments. This may be my submittal to Macro Monday this week.

Making of see
for macro mondays 'hard light'
I didn't enjoy this one much - it felt a bit stark, especially against a plain background, so I brought some colour in with the glasses.
This was lit by four halogen lights, no diffusion, including one straight above the seed head.
I did like the spidery shadows!
(The outer spines of the seed head measure 2 inches at their widest point)
A macro shot of the gadget to lift eggs from boiling water,a metal mesh egg lifter, I sure that is not it's proper name. To show the shadow using hard light.
