This is the first shot I've posted on flickr for which I used my new toys - a macro bellows and a ring flash mounted on the front of the lens. It's going to take more practice. And I'll have to get out my heavier tripod.

Shot with an 18-55mm kit lens on Nikon D300s. To achieve the magnification seen here for this tiny subject (Twizzler made to hold an overhand knot), 20mm extension tube was attached between the lens and the camera. A red tee-shirt hung couple feet behind the subject provided the background. The colors/tones enhanced in Lightroom, then cropped and saved as JPG file in Photoshop.
An off-camera flash was used to light this subject. The flash was triggered by on-camera flash in commander mode.
Unfortunately, the timestamp on my old camera wasn’t checked (and set properly) before shooting this image around 1 pm PST on Jan 21, 2019. My apologies.

Shiny neon shoes with Canon Rebel, staged, clicked :) it was Raw and took off. F11. 200. I think 2 sec.
The #MacroMondays #PickTwo theme - Blue flower
A focus stacked photo taken using a 12mm extension tube, window lit using a white background with ambient light shone onto the flower using a mirror. The usual Photoshop tweaks to colour channels, texture, added haze and a vignette complete the image.
HMM folks.
The curve on the brim of a hat held by a Lladro figure. And I guess you could add delicate pottery flowers. But my Pick Two is Pottery and Curve. HMM
I might have taken an easy way out chosen twisted candy, but twisted candies in Swedish colors are a pretty good motive :)
It fell victim to one of my pet's, that it also lost a toe and has a scratch on the tail, I noticed only in this picture.
(Damaged Toy)
Damaged candy
I didn't think I'd have an entry today but as I prepared a package to send to my granddaughter I dropped and stepped on a little candy cane. It was meant to be...
I was given this Dinky wheelbarrow in around 1950 but it was not long before I had dropped it and bent one of the handles. I then discovered that die cast models are quite brittle as my attempt to straighten it only made matters worse. I ended up with a one-handled wheelbarrow which I still own to this day. Over the years it has also suffered from a bit of paint loss (known as playworn in the trade) but at last it will have its day in the limelight as a Damaged Toy in Macro Mondays!
In front of our house is this huge tree which I started calling the bee-tree, since it is buzzing with insects - mostly bees and bumble bees, flies, butterflies and everything else loving its nectar from the thousands of blossoms. Since my Mum passed 10 days ago it is kind of a new habit to sit on the bench that I installed for her last summer on the porch out front (she was housebound for the last 3 years), have my second morning tea and enjoying the shadow and smell of this tree, its smells and the sound of all them insects. And today I recognised a much bigger striped insect - and realised it was a hornet! Not especially a big fan but am glad they seem to be back. So my input for MM is striped insect.
Love the reflection of the sky on its back.
Blue Bottle Cap
For Macro Mondays
This week's theme "pick two"
From List A, the color Blue
From List B, a bottle cap.
HMM
I took this time extreme approach and made this one as totally abstract bokeh picture. Picture is from sequins of the stuffed toy. Although picture is from toy the word pair that I used is Iridescent-Abstract.
#MacroMondays #PickTwo a possibility.
This is probably the most 'damaged' of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. (It’s the #broken #handle of one of the two baskets.) I’ll probably put them all up and then dither
Macro Mondays "Pick Two: Iridescent Abstract"

Macro Mondays
Pick Two
I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is three Murano iridescent speckled glass eggs -- three for two!
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
