I love these SATA hard drives! They are stellar performers!

As soon as the subject of today's Macro Monday was posted I knew on what my camera needed to focus. I have a few disused hard drives like these knocking around and I simply can't get myself to throw them out. I love taking them apart to marvel at the precise engineering and delicate structure of the components. For those who might not know, this image is of the central spindle of a hard disk platter with the read/write head docked as close as possible to this spindle You can just make out the external circumference of the disk to the extreme top and bottom right of the picture. Sadly, we will see fewer of these hard disks in use as SSD's take over.

This shot was set up in my woodworking workshop.and the lighting was not bright enough to allow a fast shutter speed. The central spindle and read/write head are on different planes so I needed a fairly small aperture to ensure that there was adequate depth of field to allow both components to be in sharp focus.

So, it was a case of tripod, manual focusing, mirror up and remote release. I could not get remote flash to produce the image I was looking for so I played around with a handheld super bright cree torch held at a raking angle across the hard disk platter and it was this that produced the starbursts. What I had not accounted for were the microscopic grains of wood dust that had begun to settle on the disk, but much to my surprise, this has simply added to the 'galactic deep space' feel of the image.

This photo is almost straight out of camera with minor adjustments to white balance, contrast and sharpness. It is uncropped.

This week's challenge Inside Electronic's HMM

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Electromagnetic coils on an old graphics card.

From the basic electronic components I always found the coil the hardest to understand. In addition to the invisible current you suddenly also have this invisible magnetic force (flux). But it's a beautiful component making it a nice subject for this week's theme.

Thanks for all your comments and faves, they are really appreciated. Happy Macro Monday!

L'INDUTTORE.

Gli induttori sono impiegati in una varietà di dispositivi elettrici ed elettronici, tra i quali i trasformatori ed i motori elettrici, nonché in svariati circuiti a corrente alternata ad alta frequenza.

Nella teoria dei circuiti, l'induttore è un componente ideale (la cui grandezza fisica è l'induttanza) in cui tutta l'energia elettrica assorbita è immagazzinata nel campo magnetico prodotto. Gli induttori reali, realizzati con un avvolgimento di un filo conduttore, presentano anche fenomeni dissipativi e capacitivi di cui si deve tenere conto.

Inoltre, nei circuiti in regime sinusoidale permanente, l'induttore determina una differenza di fase di 90 gradi fra la tensione applicata e la corrente che lo attraversa: in particolare, in queste condizioni di funzionamento, la corrente che attraversa un induttore ideale risulta essere sfasata in ritardo di un quarto di periodo rispetto alla tensione applicata ai suoi morsetti.

Tutto chiaro,no ????

For this week's Macro Monday theme, we were tasked with focusing on electronic components... Components that might be found at the heart of some of our favorite devices, and could appear as a futuristic cityscapes or abstract constructions when in macro form.

I decided to imagine these circuits as being used in a different way... Perhaps as part of a hybrid food for future robots (or artificial people as they may prefer to be called) -- part food, part tech. Granted our future AIs probably won't be consuming resistors or diodes, but then this image wouldn't have met this week's challenge. ;)

This composite takes a small sized apple, and combines it with the innards of an old computer motherboard, specifically the CPU processor socket, along with its many other chips / components as well.

HMM!

Sorry Bishop... I almost forgot... I know you prefer the term artificial person yourself. ;)

This week's Macro Mondays effort on the theme of 'Inside electronics' saw me destroy an old Freesat box for electronic bits, with my phone displaying binary for the backdrop. HMM y'all!

Macro Mondays 'inside electronics' theme.

I thought I would have to miss this week as I really didn't think I had anything interesting to fit the theme. I took this shot just after the theme was announced and almost discarded it, but this afternoon had another look and decided it was worth processing and submitting to the group, and at least I haven't missed a week.

MacroMonday theme Inside Electronics. Just so happens I was building a new Nelson Pass F5 Mosfet Power Amplifier (some here may know them) and had the two Power Supplies built and tested, so just powered one up and clicked this shot for this weeks theme!

I must add some of the finished amp images here too!

The reflection behind the LED is the side of a large Capacitor and I cleaned the dust as much as I could but it kept coming back onto it.

The image is about two inches by a little over an inch high!

Thank you for the views and favs and comments, in advance, always appreciated!

And old computer from the inside. I used a lot of lights as you can see.

This is the socket where the CPU chip fits on a mother board. LGA 1155. It has 1155 pins.

This theme was practically challenges. I wanted to use a circuit board but it was very 2 dimensional and I could get something that I felt was interesting enough. Eventually, I decided to buy some inductors (although, originally I thought they were resistors).

HMM

Inside Electronics is the challenge I revisited. This is a capacitor.
