Macro Mondays and the theme of "Pick Two"

This week I decided to go for the words "Pink" and "Pen" from the two lists of words and use my mini highlighter pen as the subject.

I decided to draw a quick squiggle on a piece of white paper and photograph that.

I set the focus at three inches just to be sure and then composed. a little focussing closer was required so it is within the size guidelines.

"Seidenzuckerl" (silk candy) damaged in transport. I'm not sure if these are a viennese speciality or of they available elsewhere. Anyhow they taste good ...

For #MacroMondays I selected this image of a wasp mimic moth in the genus Synanthedon.

This macro was taken for the Macro Mondays combined words that would make this week's theme.

I picked Iridescent & Abstract and took some pictures of an abalone shell that we bought in New Zealand.

Doesn't it look like the Northern Light? And it was taken on Blue Monday :-)

Unfortunately, I got distracted and forgot to upload the picture to the group. Still, I am very pleased with the result myself.

Mrs. Trusty found this on the farm when she was in elementary school. She thought she was rich.

This is an African Violet leaf. Truly a fuzzy plant.

The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Pick Two" There are two lists of words. List A (adjectives) and List B (nouns). Photo is a "Metallic" "Brush"

Mellow Yellow bottle-cap drowning in our local "Ottakringer" brew - recently awarded European Gold Medals.

Taken with a special version of the well-known and highly regarded SMC Pentax-M 50mm f:1.7 lens, mounted on a helicoid extension-tube, with the camera on a 3-way head and focusing-rack, just to make things easier!

Within the optical system the lens has been fitted with a concentrically-bored metal disc, and was one of a pair used for stereo photography - so it would be something of a half-truth to claim that it's unique! Anyway, that's what creates the unusual bokeh.

The bottle-cap is resting on a very mundane and well-used pot-scrub, and lit-up with Manfrotto LEDs fitted with yellow filters to achieve the bubbly beery gold effect.

PS. Thanks to Simon's utak and OzzRod for their inspiration to experiment with bokeh-shapes!

Red

Yellow

Blue

Pink

2. Items

Paper

Flower

Pen

Bottle cap

I picked Yellow and Paper

I'm still working out my technique, but the idea is to create a series of oil sheen abstracts. In this case, the 'oil' is really clear nail polish on a two inch water puddle.
