Created for Macro Mondays theme "Hook"

Still waiting for Spring color here so thought I would dig up one from my fly fishing trip last August (017).

The creek is Fox Creek in Montana and the mountains is Hunter's Peak in Wyoming.

I have no idea who the fisherman is but he fit the scene. If it were me I would of had a fish on the end of that hook.

I probably din't post before because I would have liked his fly rod tp be more visible but got lost against the rock backy background.

Looking out over Sandy Hook Bay at thunderstorms passing over Flemington, almost fifty miles away. I love that I was able to just look that up on my phone as it was happening.

The film is Lomo Color Negative 100, which I had heard was possibly Kodak Gold in medium format. This batch came from an unknown supplier in China, however. At $3.50 a roll, I can't complain.

For this week's theme, Hook, I decided to photograph the object most often in my hands for capturing images; my Canon RP.

The hook and subjects are those precious hooks that keep the camera and lens from falling further than the length of my arms. I use a cross-body strap that has a carabiner attached to an eyelet stud in the tripod mount.

Why 2 hooks? One time in the field with the camera I reached down picking it up and the eyelet had unscrewed to the point it fell off the camera just as I was raising it to my eye! ... so when I got home I immediately ordered a "safety cord" that could be attached to the camera with a 2nd carabiner on the other end that attaches to the strap. The camera often hangs by the strap on the hall tree next to my photography "vest of many pockets" which provides the background for the image. The image this week is captured with the Nikon 1 V3 and the 18.5mm, f/1.8 lens that can focus very close.

Thanks in advance for your Views, Favs and Comments.

A snap decision to visit Hook Lighthouse but when I got there the lovely blue skies had disappeared.

Hook Head Lighthouse, Wexford.

This hook, on a ratchet winch, is about 3" x 2.5". Th meet the size restrictions for Macro Mondays I have cropped this to show a section that is around 2"x2".

The hook shows sign of having been cast in a sand mould and has been plated to minimise corrosion.

This image was captured for the Macro Mondays theme: "silhouette".

(Technical clarification: the 'apparent shadow' in this image is not a shadow at all. It is a silhouette also, layered and slightly offset from the original silhouette).

Sandy Hook Lighthouse was completed in 1764 and is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the United States. It is 29 feet in diameter at the base and 85 feet tall. Its 45,000 candlepower light can be seen for 19 miles. It was registered as a National Historic Landmark in 1964.
