Macro Mondays - Brands and Logos

It is odd, because I just had this one come in the mail the other day. These are the ones that I usually purchase because of their detail and quality. A bit more costly but oh so good.

Happy Macro Mondays

#macromondays #boardgamepieces

 

When i read the theme for the next Maco Mondays Challenge then instantly Memories of my childhood came up. I don`t know how many Hours my friends an me have spent playing this great Game called RISK ! The Game is well known around the world and gets played since over 60 Years by Generations. Back in 1957 it got created by Albert Lamorisse, a french filmmaker. I still own the Game and we play it from time to time when we celebate game nights. So i took the chance to shoot an image of my DE LUXE Version of the Game for the theme.

 

Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game.

When i first read the new theme called glass then immediately "message in a bottle" popped up in my mind :) Did you ever receive a message in a glassbottle and wondered how this little piece of paper got into such a small glassbottle? So here we go - have a look on the image! In little world we do have a team of never resting tiny little helpers to get most of the jobs done!

A matchstick is a slender piece of flammable wood used as a match. People in little world still need matchsticks to light up things. But first they need to get packed into their boxes and transported to their final destinations to get used. Even tough - another perfect job for the tiny little helpers. :)

Raffaello is a spherical coconut–almond truffle that Italian manufacturer Ferrero brought to the market in 1990. The praline comprises a spherical wafer which is filled with a white milk cream and white blanched almonds. It is surrounded by a coconut layer. It does not contain chocolate. However it does contain lactose, making Raffaello incompatible for consumers with lactose intolerance.

 

But did you ever wonder how they get the coconut onto the ball ? Well now you know that this another hard job for the tiny little helpers :)

Even an Superhero like Spiderman needs from time to time a break from all the crime in little world! All that crime can be exhausting! But what we all know is also counting for him :)

 

With ovomaltine you can`t do it better - but longer !

 

According to a 2007 study by psychologist David Lewis, letting chocolate dissolve slowly in your mouth produces as big an increase in brain activity and heart rate as a passionate kiss—but the effects of the chocolate last four times longer! Trust science to tell us things we already know!

Saying: Get.Out.Of.My.Way!!!

 

This is not only my first "arranged" macro shot, but my very first attempt at focus stacking. I took many, many shots (and tried different lenses: the m.zuiko 45mm with macro converter, the m.zuiko 12-50mm kit lens and the FT Zuiko 35mm 1:35 macro lens), before it finally seemed ok. I know this isn't perfect (there are a few halos which I tried to remove in Photoshop,

and of course the tiny guys are on a piece of - shiny - adhesive tape...), but I'm quite pleased with the result. Please tell me what

you think!

 

This "row" of photographers obstructing each others view was inspired by an "incident" way back in 2011, on my first photowalk with my then new and tiny Pen E-PL3. I was busy taking a shot (I think it was obvious what I was doing), when a lady with a very big (and admittedly impressive) Nikon-DSLR walked up from behind and put herself right in front of me. She took all the time she needed to get her shot, then walked away with a wry grin on her face. Rrrrrrrrrr... I'm not the quarrelsome type, otherwise a "row" of a different kind might have ensued...;-)

 

Lens: FT Zuiko 35mm 1:35 Macro, method: focus stacking (five shots), camera on tripod, lightsource: sunlight through the window

 

Happy Macro Monday, everyone!

 

I was wondering what kind of Image i`m gonna share for the next macro mondays theme called "paper". Later on i was sitting here listening to this song...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQzB5T_B_iI

And Boom...there was the idea. My tiny little Captain took his paper sailboat for a trip across the sea. This time no heavy work for the little helpers - just fun! :)

This time someone gets hurt ! The little tiny Sportsman honestly wants to take an hot wax bath. He is watching the flame melting the wax and as soon as it is deep enough he wants to join it :)

#macromondays #SunSafety

 

Sumertime is Sunscreen-Time! Everyone should use some Sun Safety when the sun is out there. Also in little world the tiny little helpers enjoy the good weather. But look at that - this guy is enjoying it looking directly into the sunbeams. Let`s hope he did use the Sun Safety right behind him :)

 

If i could offer you one tip for the future...Sunscreen would be IT !

 

Please listen to this great Song with the best lyrics i have heard for quite a while...it might touch you too!

It was the May the 16th back in 1983 when Michael Jackson performed his first Moonwalk!

  

When the US music label " Motown " celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1983 with a big show, the stars of the soul scene met. In addition to Marvin Gaye , Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder also appear. The Jackson brothers are also there.

 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6pomaq30Gg

 

After their appearance, Michael Jackson remains alone on stage - in his classic outfit : hat, glove, pulled up pants, white socks, patent leather shoes. The US singer presents the song " Billie Jean " from his new album " Thriller ".

 

When he starts dancing, the audience is thrown from their seats. He does pirouettes, stands on tiptoe, spins across the stage as if there was no gravity. After three minutes and 39 seconds it happens: Jackson moves backwards across the stage with gliding steps - for the first time he shows the " Moonwalk ".

 

Jackson did not invent dance. "The moonwalk came from these great black kids who live in the ghettos," he says. "I just took it over." The " moonwalk " itself is older though. It was performed by dancers like Bill Bailey as early as the 1940s , when it was still called " Backslide ".

 

In the 1960s, he is part of the repertoire of Radio - dancers like the " Electric Boogaloos ". Jackson is taught the step for the " Motown " show. By Jackson's distinctive dance style of "will moonwalk " famous.

My first thought for the next Smile on saturday theme - KITCHTOOLIA

The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by wooden hammers that are coated with a softer material (modern hammers are covered with dense wool felt; some early pianos used leather). It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.

 

Most modern pianos have a row of 88 black and white keys, 52 white keys for the notes of the C major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A and B) and 36 shorter black keys, which are raised above the white keys, and set further back on the keyboard. This means that the piano can play 88 different pitches (or "notes"), spanning a range of a bit over seven octaves

 

Also the King of Pop named Michael Jackson used the piano within his famous #earthsong !
