Second of two captures taken for these week's Macro Monday theme combining two themes from separate lists.

This is the capture with the two candy cane treats in the frame completely for a 1:1.5 macro.

13 second capture needed for this one at ISO 100 and f/16. Captured with window lighting with the candies on a mirror, then holding a black pillow over top to block out the ceiling color and making the background black in the mirror.

Anyone feeling minty now :)

Thanks for visiting

HMM.....

Per qualche ora, ogni tanto, è bello tornare un pò bambini !!!

For the theme of the day I chose the colour yellow from group A, and paper from group B: thinking of the boyish years of many years ago, I remembered that as a child we had fun making paper boats ... and therefore I was wondering if we had fun then folding paper to make little boats, why could not enjoy as adults in the same way? Here, this is my yellow folded paper floating boat. HMM

On Macro Mondays theme "Pick Two", I've chosen Metallic and Brush for this composition.

Using the Nikon-converted Helios 44M at f/4, and the full complement of extension tubes (about 6cm) this image is about 10 by 15mm in size.

Very little post-processing; I've cropped and skewed the image slightly and increased exposure by 1 stop.

I received a bunch of sweet miniature roses. So gorgeous!

Taken for the “Macro Mondays” theme “Pick Two”.

I went with A5) Speckled and B2) Toy.

The marbles are in water and hopefully they look sort of dreamy and not just out of focus.

Happy Macro Monday!

My entry for Marco Monday theme : Pick Two.

I found on the edge of the path these pink field flowers. I thought: perfect for this week's MM theme.

Looking for the right angle, I picked a flower and pointed it up to the sky: its colour was brightened by the contrast with the blue sky and the beautiful light of this end of summer day.

#PickTwo

Explored 15 June 2021

My choices for "Pick Two" are: metallic and stone. Most of you know that I like science fiction and all things space-related, so it's probably not a surprise that I'm also interested in the "visitors" from outer space: meteorites. I have collected a few over the years, nothing special, as the really rare and/or valuable pieces are expensive, and the "expensive department" has been taken over by camera gear in the last years ;). Anyways, the meteorite I've chosen as my "metallic stone" was the first meteorite I've ever bought. It's an iron meteorite from Arizona, from the famous Barringer Crater. The longest side has 2,5 cm / 0,98 inches.

Since the meteorite itself is of an unconspicious dark brown / greyish colour, I've once again experimented with my makeshift colour filters to liven it up. My collection of these makeshift filters has only recently been supplemented by a semi-transparent yellow cap (from a dish soap bottle) which works surprisingly well and produces a very sunny yellow. It looked nice, and I'm sure you will see this yellow in a future MM photo, but in the end I decided to give the prism another try, because the position of the evening sun was just right to create another rainbow :) Just like with my rusty rivet shrooms which I'd taken for the "Rust" theme a few weeks ago, I was surprised how well this metallic stone took on the rainbow colours of the prism, making it actually look as if the colours were in the metal, and not a mere projection created by the sunshine.

Technicalities: the image is another focus stack made from 15 images which I've combined in Helicon Focus (A, radius 7, smoothing 2). Further processed in Viveza, where I'd darkened the background, in Luminar AI for detail enhancements (small and medium) on the meteorite, and in Analog Efex for a slightly matte look.

Happy Macro Mondays, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!

Juni-Meteorit

Mein Wortpaar für das "Pick-Two"-Thema ist metallisch und Stein: ein Eisenmeteorit. Wie einige von Euch ja wissen, bin ich ein Science-Fiction-Fan, und so ist es nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass ich mich auch für die echten "Besucher" aus dem All interessiere, die Meteoriten. Ich habe eine klitzekleine Sammlung, nichts besonderes, denn die wirklich wertvollen und/oder seltenen Stücke sind sehr teuer – und die "Abteilung teuer" hat sich in den letzten Jahren eindeutig in Richtung Kamera und alles drumherum verlagert ;) Dieser Eisenmeteorit mit dem runden "Auge" in der Mitte war mein erster Meteorit überhaupt, er stammt aus dem berühmten Barringer-Krater in Arizona.

Da diese Art vom Meteorit keine besonders aufregende Farbgebung hat (Dunkelbraun-gräulich), kamen zunächst wieder meine improvisierten Farbfilter zum Einsatz, die kürzlich Zuwachs in Form einer halbtransparenten, sonnengelben Plastikschraubkappe von einer Spüli-Flasche bekommen haben. Diese Kappe funktioniert erstaunlich gut als Farbfilter und Ihr werdet das schöne Gelb, das sie erzeugt, sicherlich bei einem anderen MM-Thema sehen. Denn am Ende habe ich doch wieder zum Prisma gegriffen, weil die Abendsonne gerade so günstig durch das Fenster hereinschien und viele schöne Regenbogenfarben erzeugte :) Wie schon bei meinen rostigen "Niet-Pilzen", die ich vor einigen Wochen für das "Rust"-Thema fotografiert hatte, war ich auch hier überrascht, wie gut die metallische Oberfläche die Farben angenommen hat, fast so, als wären sie Bestandteil der Meteoriten-Oberfläche und nicht eine bloße Lichtprojektion.

Das Foto ist wieder ein Fokus-Stack bestehend aus 15 Fotos, die ich dieses Mal in Helicon Focus zusammengefügt habe (Methode A, Radius 7, Smoothing 2). Ich habe dann in Viveza den Hintergrund abgedunkelt, in Luminar AI die Meteoriten-Details hervorgehoben und abschließend in Analog Efex einen leichten Matt-Look hinzugefügt.

Habt eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, und passt gut auf Euch auf!
