Rain by The Beatles (1966)
This is a photo stack of 20 images to create this much depth in a macro photo. Each shot with a slightly different focus point. The camera is locked down and then it is slid forward by tiny, controlled movements of macro focus slider. The copper wire sculpture is all of about 2 inches tall. The flower in the background is only about 3 to 4 inches away from the wire structure with is sitting in a bucket of water to help finish the scene.
Its hard to set this all up and everything is very small movements and if you accidentally kick a tripod leg of a light stand, everything gets changed in a big way. It can be very frustrating to work like this, but this is the result when it all comes together.
Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens and a 25mm Canon FD extension tube.
Learning by doing, a nice workshop on food photography, with Eileen Schäfer in Munich. First a short introduction to the subject, then start to photograph the stuff everybody brought. Actually Romanesco was on my Wishlist, but I could not get it in time. So lucky me, another participant brought some and I was able to borrow it for a couple of minutes.
Strobist info, since this is not my light, a small, square soft box feathered from above
Festive seasons, Christmas gift wrapped in red paper, with a single star and some golden tinsel.
The Star, tip to tip is less than 4 cm. But for Macro Mondays, theme "festive season" it shown not from tip to tip, at least not in all directions.
The background is a a book already wrapped, a golden star and some golden tinsel.
First light source was late morning light, second light source reflection from a cosmetic mirror.

Panorpa communis (m)
De schorpioenvliegen (Panorpidae) zijn een familie van insecten die behoren tot de orde Mecoptera.
Het is een interessante groep die behoort tot de oudste insectenordes die een volledige gedaanteverwisseling bezitten.
Wereldwijd zijn ongeveer 500 soorten beschreven, verdeeld over een vijftal families.
Kenmerkend voor sommige schorpioenvliegen (soorten welke behoren tot de familie van de Panorpidae) is het tangvormig orgaan dat mannetjes aan het achterlijf hebben, dat omhoog gekruld wordt gedragen en dat daarom enigszins doet denken aan de staart van een schorpioen, maar geen angel heeft en verder volkomen ongevaarlijk is. Het insect gebruikt het alleen bij de paring.
Schorpioenvliegen zijn roofinsecten en de soort Panorpa communis komt algemeen voor in Nederland en België, meestal kan hij worden gevonden op lage vegetatie op wat vochtige, beschaduwde plekken. Naast dode insecten en ander aas, worden ze aangetrokken door plantaardig voedsel.

Enjoying the last of the windfall apples before he dies, as all males do over the winter. A sad end but he lasted longer than most.
Detail of red zip wrapping around the suitcase. Beside the unusal form, I love the color.
Don't have the exact size, since the photo was taken trough a shop window, but less the the allowed 7.6 cm in length.
One or two of you may have noticed I've been away for a little while. Unfortunately, I took ill last week and was admitted to hospital. I'm back at home but still feeling fragile and hollowed out.
This is a macro of a ranunculus flower, one out of a bunch of three of them which I got at the village market ten days ago. I had the intention of trying to take a half-decent photo of them shortly after I bought them but then I found myself in hospital. It was an absolute delight though to find them still blooming when I returned home on Wednesday so yesterday I dusted down the camera and took this. I've since found out that ranunculus are great flowers for long-lasting blooms.
I'll be catching up when and where I can. Happy weekend to one and all :-)
