Macro Mondays: Pick Two

Curved Brush

"Head Jog 08 Straw Brush (Raspberry) is an environmentally-friendly brush which massages the scalp and can be used to detangle wet or dry hair. Manufactured from polymerised, renewable biomass material, such as straw, rice husk and plastic, in a process with zero carbon emission, it has an ergonomic, loop design with double curve which provides flexibility and fits perfectly to the scalp. Flexible soft pin bristles massage the scalp, are kinder to the hair, and minimise breakage."

Frankly, I purchased this product on the strength of the name. For the first time in 25 years we have two bathrooms and I needed a brush in each one. It looks really cool hanging on the wall but it is a little wimpy for detangling. It does feel nice stroking against my elderly scalp.

COMBINE TO MAKE A SUBJECT

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.

Beverage Ice bar effect with UV light. Macro, achromatic diopter.

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.

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!

#MacroMondays #PickTwo .... a possibility.

This may be the most useful of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. I’ll probably put them all up and then dither

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.
