A tender macro capture of an Allium bud just beginning to emerge from its protective sheath, revealing a cluster of deep purple florets. The soft background enhances the intimacy of this quiet moment of botanical awakening.

From Camera to Flickr. No post editing (Apart from the file name of course). This was about 45 minutes before the sunset. A calm atmosphere, the sound of a few distant birds. I think this is Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). So delicate, soft and swaying in a light breeze.

Looking at me saying hurry up and take the shot

Shot created for Saturday Self Challenge 08/01/2022 ----

Macro capture of a Shiny Object .

A quick caveat - while the Spitfire gets all the glory , we must not forget the under rated Hawker Hurricane which was so successful during the Battle of Britain !!

So to start with a random shot of the sky before it went all to cloud and then to the pop up oven top kitchen studio with a new keyring I have been given ( could have done for "new " last week , so glad I saved it ) . The keyring was bought from the RAF Hendon Museum online store and it is of a Spitfire . The capture of the little Spitfire was done with the Sigma 105 , and for a size comparison see the first comment box -knowing how the 105 makes avery short DOF when up close , Ihad to stop down a fair old way to keep the aeroplane in a sharp view .

I took 8 or 9 shots paying special attention to angles to create a realistic air to air style of capture. Next I put them though the cut out studio in Serif CraftArist - good job I had a selection as the cut out could not define the outline of the aircraft very well in most of them and kept taking chunks out of the plane - sorted with this one and put the two shots together for the flight of the silver spitfire . this now captures the the feeling of being up there and the sky is the limit and you are free as a bird - the pilots of the day often say " You do not get into a Spitfire , you just strap it on !! "

And the Silver Spitfire in 2019 is a story on it's own , please check out the story in the link ---------------

And in this vein of up there in the skies with the Merlin singing it's song , this tune should should be heard on the airwaves !!

"Never be afraid to be a poppy in a field of daffodils."

This lonely poppy caught my eye on the side of a brown dusty field. I really am loving my Sigma lens, it is proving to be so versatile. However, I am thinking about getting another camer body for my macro lens...I really don't want to be faffing with changing lenses whilst I'm out and about.

Does anyone take out two camera bodies with them when they go on a general walkaround? Is it practical? Any downfalls?

Dandelions. Very common weed that adorns urban areas, gardens, fields and just about anywhere. Whatever you think of it, its various stages of transition are magical from a photographic perspective.

Dandelions may be considered a nuisance in parts of the garden, especially in weed-free lawns but have many herbal uses and are a good early source of nectar and pollen for insects so worth tolerating where possible.

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as Dandelions.

macro capture of a wool carpet

Yes. On January 1 2020 the skies really did this. The sun was delivering a pretty normal desert sunset. And then I looked behind me. The boring wispy clouds were beginning to glow like nothing from this planet. I grabbed one of my GW690s loaded with Velvia and had the whole roll gone in about two minutes. Then I grabbed the same Sony digital I use to digitize my film with and kept shooting until the light show was done.

Metadata below is from my NegativeLabPro LR plug in. If you digitize film with a digital camera, you need this plugin! This is transparency film but what NLP does for color and BW negatives is nothing short of miraculous. Negative Supply film transports are also great, taming this curly Fuji stock into a nice flat image for macro capture.

See large size. Two rejected slides were mounted in the same frame and then a macro capture was made. One is a macro of wood, and the other are 2 old buddies from my 1971 Kibbutz, Gesher Haziv in northern Israel.

Macro Mondays theme Shadow

I got very frustrated and irritated with this theme this week. Most days in lockdown seem to be like this (full of irritations and frustrations) and a desperate attempt to salvage each and every day. I’d spent part of Saturday trying to take photos of some little Easter Eggs that we'd brought back from Belgium a few weeks ago, except the sun kept playing games of hide and seek with me. I tried to edit what I had to no avail - a little bit like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. And so I decide to give this week a miss...

But then the sun decide to come out to teaste me and of course I couldn't resist because then it would have been an even worse day than it was already turning out to be.

So here is today's attempt at a macro capture of a shadow and a blossom.

HMM...
