I have used an old German projector lens, A Rodenstock Splendar 100mm f2.8 photo: 3. I have mounted the lens on my modern Sony full-frame camera, It was a bit complicated to build an adapter.

Don't ask me how long I've had these little things in the fridge. It's probably 2 or 3 years. We don't usually enjoy garlic, however for a while I was subscribing to a meal kit delivery service and they included garlic in the kits. I ended up with quite a bit of it, however these few are the last ones left - I wonder if I ever will use them?

All my own work - coloured inks on genuine watercolour paper, using a little fan brush.

I've done a lot of this art, using coloured inks, with great results (which are hanging on our walls) so it's been fun to do this special little tiny delight.

I have taken this photo with a Soviet lens that is more than 60 years old, a Helios-40, 85 mm f1.5. The lens is used wide open.

The theme is CHIP, they said.

My mind immediately thought "potato chip" however that seemed too obvious so I thought more widely. Computer chip also seemed a bit obvious, however my husband had these little gems with 'legs' to create shadows, so I jazzed them up with red and blue lights. That was fun.

🎶Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,

Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

There’ll be nine green bottles hanging on the wall.🎶

 

In fact there were six green bottles, however they were not hanging on the wall and none of them fell. But only two were able to be photographed, so the other four were left on the shelf. These are filled with Bundaberg 'Lemon Lime and Bitters' which is a most refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day - and we are having super hot days in the far north of New Zealand at the moment. HMM 😀

Monarch at Work - Sony A7S II, Nikon Micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8

Like an outer space suspension. This tiny cobweb (about 5 cm wide and 3cm deep) was reflecting a world in it's rain drop globes. Bearing in mind each reflection is upside down, you can make out the sky, the side of our house (brown) and our trees. It's incredibly magical to take these shots, don't you think?

Make your "someday" today

i wonder if anyone knows this species???

I've had this little spiral for about 10 years. It came with a plastic drink bottle that was a promotional gift with some protein powder.

I have never known how to use it, so today it had its first outing.........as a photography prop.

Here's how I made this image: www.youtube.com/shorts/p26gOLIW5Pg

This is a tiny bulb in one of several really small torches I use for photography lighting. I buy tiny torches of all shapes and colours, from a $2 store, and find them really useful (especially for macro work). This particular torch is pen shape and size. It has a tiny bulb at one end that shines white. Then there's another tiny bulb in the centre section that shines gold. The white light end of the torch is just like any other torch, however the other end is made of white plastic cut out to be a whistle (and it's loud). There's a tiny rubber button in the centre of the body that you press to turn on, first the white light, then press again and the centre gold light comes on, then press again and the centre gold light flashes. I'm assuming it was made to be a tiny hazard light that you carry in your pocket and, if you get lost or in danger, you can blow the whistle and set up the little flashing hazard light. It fits easily in your pocket and takes a AAA battery - clever little thing.
