One of my attempts at the "Looking Close... on Friday" theme "Food in Backlight".

This is one layer of an onion. It's around 1.5 mm thick. so this is close to a 20:1 magnification. Way too much for my setup unfortunately...

It's cool when we can reuse our lighthouses.

This one is situated on the tip of Karmøy, an island on the west coast of Norway. It was used from 1924 - 1994 and is one of the youngest lighthouses we have in Norway.

This lighthouse you can rent and then you have to call a dude and book him to take you over to the island (Gunnar Eilertsen på telephone 48152353 at your service 😁)

Thanks to Don and Teresa Williams, this Standard service station has been restored to the glory that is reminiscent of the 1950s. The pump, signage and other historical artifacts seen at the station are not the originals, but they represent similar items from the 40s and 50s. This building is located at Madison and Second Street in Prairie City, Iowa. And by the way, even though you can’t see it in this photo, the gas pump still indicates 23 cents a gallon (that was for leaded gas).

Layers of sand, ice, water, ice, and clouds along the shoreline in Warren Dunes State Park.

This photo is quite special for me... the longer I look at it - the more confused about the different layers I get... Do you see what I mean?

Layered

I have always admired photos such as this but have never been in a place high enough to capture this. I really like the simplicity of it.

I (re)made this crystal bead necklace just the other day, and stupidly broke one of the beads while doing so (I used the wrong pliers, and instead of the wire, the first bead next to the clasp broke). You've seen a small part of this necklace before, for our first theme of 2024, "New" (please see the first comment).

Back in January, I had just newly stringed this lovely necklace, but with a pre-fab jewellery wire that had half of the clasp already mounted so it would be easier to do. It was, but other than I'd thought, the clasp's materials were neither stainless steel nor sterling silver, so the atomically thin silver layer came off quickly. Annoying. But, on the other hand, it allowed me to try again and get the mounting of the clasp properly done with crimp beads (and a proper silver clasp), something I've always struggled with (regarding the finishing part when it comes to mounting the connection ring and Cartier carabiner to the already beaded necklace). And I finally, finally got the knack of doing it the right way. I will remake this necklace again once I've found a bead to replace the broken one. I want to do it in Wabi-sabi style so I hope to find a bead of the correct shape and size but with a different colour. But for now, I'm wearing it as is, one bead shorter, because at the moment, it's my favourite necklace.

For this image, I put the smaller part of the broken bead (I've kept the pieces) on the connection ring of the clasp so the ring and the crimp beads are visible. This time, I thought a black backdrop looked nicer than the apricot-orange background I'd used for my previous photo of this necklace because it added more depth to this quite different presentation. The image is an in-camera focus stacking, and combining the 15 single RAW files in Helicon Focus provided a slightly better result than the automatically in-camera processed Jpg. I removed the inevitable dust but not the signs of usage on the crystal beads.

HMM, Everyone!

CC Week 35: Layered Abstract

The same image, with additional effects.

We got a cool session with Stevacek yesterday. A similar angle as Steve, but another processing and exposure time. 3raw images HDR, than work with layers and filters (fractalius + Tiffen).

Try large on black

Have a great week everybody!

Trev woke up early one morning and opened the Velux windows ...... "Get Up" he shouted to me as i lay all snuggled up in a warm cosy bed. "Their is mist in the Valley .. come on"!

So up from my slumber, all bleary eyed, i splashed my face with cold water to speed waking up, and went downstairs to make up two flasks of coffee ...... it was time-laps time!

This is a shot i took from that morning!
