Yellow and green
I know what you mean
The colours are such a nice fit
They shine and they glow
And I know that you know
They’re lovely - you must admit
Note: These are Jubes (candy/sweets) that I cut into cubes and placed together. A tricky and sticky job because they were very small and then stuck to my fingers when I was trying to place them together. I set them on a clear surface and placed lighting underneath to bring out the shine. I think they look a bit like stained glass windows, however stained glass windows were never that delicious. Yum.
When Coronavirus hit New Zealand, in early 2020, I made us masks out of a lovely brown cotton fabric with cameras printed all over it in white. I researched about patterns, on You Tube, and eventually made our masks with a centre pocket for a filter to fit into. We felt very awkward, that first time we wore the masks, however now our mask wearing is almost second nature. Every time we leave the house we yell to each other "Have you got your mask?".
Who'd have thought the foil mesh centre section of our 25 year old juicer would become the star of my macro photo? It's been an amazing juicer, Moulinex Vitafruit, since the day I bought it. We have fresh carrot-celery-beetroot juice every morning for breakfast. At times when we go away for a few days, we miss our juice tremendously.
For this shot I inverted the mesh section and set a red light under it shining forward. Came out quite well, I thought.
The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.

This is my lovely -new-to-me- Nikon FM3A film camera that I bought myself for Christmas. It's in almost pristine condition and already taking beautiful pictures.
I present to you - the tiniest seed beads I could find (size 15), threaded onto the thinnest needle I could find, scored into the tiniest reel of fine stainless steel 32-gauge wire, set upon the millimetre edge of a stainless steel draughtsman's ruler.
Tiny is as Macro does - millimetre by millimetre.

Roses seen in the beautiful Rose Garden. Hence the name :)

My trusty NISI ND filter container. It's a real work of art in itself - beautifully covered in tan leather and magnificently stitched with lots of silver D-Rings and clips.
"Good things in small packages" so the saying goes. Certainly is here :)
Seen along the High Peak Trail, near High Peak Junction, Cromford, Derbyshire.
Ash trees make seeds called samaras or helicopters, whirlygigs, or whatever you like to call the winged seeds. When conditions are just right, certain trees will produce an exceptionally large number of seeds.
Seen during a woodland walk recently.

You'll never guess this one. It's the top of a spool for winding film negative onto when developing the film. I shone a red light into the side of it and then put my husband's black beanie hat in there as well, to create the black contrast. 😀 HMM

Wild Spring Weed with Leawood Pump House, Derbyshire, in the background. Generally when you see flowering weeds away from home, they look quite delicate, yet find em' growing in your garden and you race to uproot them!
Unsure what flower it is, but I found it so striking
It looks very much like...
Hypericum 'Hidcote'

The New Zealand 10 cent coin features a Māori carved mask or Koruru, along with Māori rafter patterns. The 20 cent coin has a Māori 'pukaki' carving and was released in 1990. The 50 cent coin shows the barque ship Endeavour by Captain Cook, sailing south with Mt Taranki behind. It would have passed by Mt Taranaki, early in 1770, as it sailed down to Ship Cove in the South Island after first anchoring in Turanganui (Poverty Bay) in the North Island.
I had a bit of a search to find coins to photograph. With electronic payments becoming the everyday method for financial transactions, physical currency is used less and less in our country. New Zealand adopted digital banking and payments very early in the 1980's, although actual money was still being used widely, until 1999 when online banking was more strongly adopted. Then with Covid and not wanting to touch things that have passed through many hands, electronic payments became way more prevalent. All banks in the area I live in, have long closed their branches and everything is managed online. I certainly don't carry currency in my wallet. 💲
My old 'Paid' stamp. I've had this one for more than 20 years and I'm surprised that it still works well. It's a self-inking press stamp where the ink pad section is fixed within the stamp housing behind the die. When you press the stamp down, the 'pad' compresses down and ink seeps through the rubbery die to stamp out the word. It's tricky to add more ink to the felt pad and I'm sure you can imagine the mess that it makes of my fingers. It's a great stamp that sits in my desk drawer waiting to be used and it never fails me. I've not taken its photo before, so this is a first
Macro Monday's Theme 30 May 2022. This is vegetable protein powder that we have in our thick breakfast shakes, made with Soy Milk and sliced bananas, every morning since 1990. The only time we wouldn't have this drink is when we're away for a short break. It's coupled with a fresh vegetable juice drink made from carrots, beetroot and celery with a touch of root ginger. Yum
A Slender Meadow Katydid Observes My Lens - Sony A7S II, Fotodiox Macro Tube, Minolta MD Rokkor X 45mm F2
This is my entry into the MACRO MONDAYS competition theme "Sound" for the week beginning 31 August 2020.
I took this macro photo using an electronic keyboard and a sheet of written music "Clair de Lune" (moonlight) by Claude Debussy.
It was an interesting undertaking, trying to get the camera positioned in a way to show the keys and the music, along with reflections of the music onto the keys. In the end I had my tripod bent in half, with the camera upside down and set about 2mm above the keys, while I moved lights around until I achieved a good reflection. Really fun to do.
