I thought of my husband when I photographed this flower. He is a violin maker. This flower has its own beautiful scrolls. They remind me of the scrolls of his violins. Well, art imitates life all of the time. I like all types of art because art makes me feel and feeling is an essential part of being alive. A good day, afternoon, evening or night to all!

Doom scrolling perhaps - which is so much easier to do when almost everything going on is doom-worthy. Honestly... what a world we are in! January has been a long year so far!
Take care amidst the insanity. Share joy. Spread love and compassion. Oppose tyranny.

Reflection of a violin scroll
Macro Mondays - theme: "Reflection", but also referring to the themes of the last two weeks (which I sadly forewent): "Musical Instrument" and "Spiral". The entire image, including negative space, measures under 7cm across.

Con questa immagine di candore e purezza voglio augurare,
ma solo agli amici che mi vogliono bene,
un Nuovo Anno pulito, senza cattiverie e menzogne!
Il 2017 è stato un anno duro, sotto tanti punti di vista, ma, mi ha dato modo di conoscere di più la gente, di apprezzare i piccoli e semplici gesti, le buone parole, ormai dimenticate, ma soprattutto mi ha insegnato ad essere più forte, più concreta e più determinata (più di quello che già non sia? Si, di più), aiutandomi a scrollare di dosso un fardello inutile, in modo da portare con me nel 2018 solo le cose positive e solo gli affetti veri, sinceri e più cari.
No matter how low the tide, one can never quite reach Cave Rock. Its massive shape looms heavily, adding magic to the tantalizing doorway, especially when the long light beams beckon. Stirring symbolism in nature is our true mother tongue that we all share.
Oregon’s rugged coast is undeveloped. This is partly due to the difficult terrain but also largely thanks to the bold Beach Bill of 1967 that declared all 363 miles of Oregon shoreline to be public land. Thus, when you stand on a wild and stormy beach in Oregon, you’re quite likely to find yourself alone with the raw sea in her purest form.
And the sea will ask you questions. Who are you when you’re alone with nothing but truth? Is your thinking large enough? Are you feeling deep enough?
I find that word roots are often revealing. “Develop” arose from “dis-envelop,” as in unwrap or unfold. In German, “entwickeln” also means the same, to unwrap. The original meaning becomes clearer when you envision man’s desire to unroll the scrolls where Mother Earth keeps her secrets. Now, after centuries of careless unwrapping, many of us dream of being deeply enfolded in nature’s arms once again.
Thank you for taking time visit and comments

Since their founding, the Marble Sisters had only one task: to watch the archives. They spent every day caring for the scrolls; returning borrowed texts, replacing fragments too torn or faded to understand, and, every once in a while, creating new manuscripts to join the ranks of the endless rows in their vast library. Although the sisters were able to achieve great knowledge and wisdom thanks to the scrolls, they received a curse as well: a hunger, a never-ceasing addiction for more knowledge. This drove most of the sisters to madness, however, those who managed to control their urge gained more than anyone could possibly imagine...

Built for Brickscalibur in the 12x12 vignette category.
I decided to build this as my entry for the 12x12 category after I was inspired by some concept art for the wheel of time Amazon show. I figured I'd venture beyond libraries and books and take my chances with some scrolls instead. Let me know what you think!
Feedback is always appreciated,
Happy Building!

Width of the scroll: 4,2 cm / 1,6 inches
Scrolled. Or screwed. Almost. Why? Because I almost managed to break my violin, the macro lens and the camera while taking this shot. What had happened? Well, in order to get the best shooting distance without piling box upon box and then my small table top tripod on top of it all, I mounted my camera on my small traveller tripod, camera pointing lens down to my violin's neck and scroll. So far, so good. I should mention, however, that, while the camera was mounted tightly and safely on the tripod, I had placed my violin on several cardboard boxes to get the right distance to the camera and the background. You know what was happening next, don't you? So I moved the violin, because the scroll wasn't quite centered, then thought "Why not move the tripod instead?," and... bang. Because the boxes moved as well. Next thing I know is that I still tried to catch the camera, but too late, the camera on tripod fell right onto my violin's neck. I heard a nasty sound. And thought "That's it." After a short moment of shock I thought, "OK, so you had a filter and the lens hood (which was still on the lens, but at a rather weird angle) attached, so the lens and camera are probably OK." They were. Phew. Then I took an anxious look at my violin. Still OK as well. Another phew. As it is, the lens hood (which is retractable, it's rather cool) had taken most of the impact, and all that actually happened was that the E-string broke. Huge phew. And the moral of this story? Don't place your stuff on cardboard boxes. Oh, and I forgot: this was lit from below and the side (right).
Needless to say I decided to stop taking more captures afterwards. It was late again anyway. Processed, as usual, in Luminar (develop filter, Accent-Al filter, detail enhancer, microstructure). Then on to Nik's Silver Efex for the black and white conversion. I started off with a preset this time, the "full spectrum inverted" (my translation, it's preset no. 018) which I still tweaked a little, then back to LR for finishing touches (colour preset "high contrast and details", yes, it works for b&w images as well 😉).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Zur Schnecke gemacht
Fast. Fast wären nämlich meine Geige und mein Makroobjetiv bei dieser Aktion zu Bruch gegangen. Was war passiert? Um die nötige Distanz zum Motiv, der Schnecke meiner Geige, zu bekommen, hatte ich dieses Mal vernünftigerweise die Kamera gleich kopfüber am (nicht ausgefahrenen) kleinen Manfrotto Elements befestigt, anstatt wie sonst üblich einen Karton auf den anderen zu stapeln und zum Schluss das kleine Tischstativ obendrauf zu stellen. So weit, so gut, so sicher. Dafür kamen besagte Kartons aber als Unterlage für die Geige zum Einsatz, um genug Abstand zum Hintergrund zu haben und noch ein Stückchen näher an die Kamera zu kommen (das Makro hat 19 cm Mindestabstand). Es kam, wie es kommen musste, ich arrangierte die Schnecke noch ein wenig mittiger, verrückte dann das Stativ noch ein bisschen - und die Kartons verrückten sich dann wie von Zauberhand selbst, was das Stativ zum Umkippen brachte. Natürlich direkt auf den Hals meiner Geige. Krack. Ich dachte schon "Das war's", aber nach einer kurzen Schrecksekunde konnte ich feststellen, dass die (aus- und einfahrbare) Gegenlichtblende den Sturz abgefedert hatte. Uff. Nicht mal der Filter hatte was abbekommen. Die Geige auch nicht. Lediglich die E-Saite war gerissen. Glück gehabt. Danach habe ich die Kamera dann aber abgebaut und die Geige wieder sicher verstaut, Lust auf weitere Kopfüber-Makros hatte ich nicht mehr. Aber zum Glück war ein brauchbares Foto im Kasten, das ich dann in Luminar (vor-)entwickelt habe (regulärer Entwickeln-Filter, Accent-Al-Filter, Details und Microstruktur) und in Niks Silver Efex in SW umgewandelt habe. Hier habe ich als Startpunkt ausnahmsweise mal eine der Voreinstellungen (018, "vollständiges Spektrum invertiert") genommen und dann noch ein bisschen angepasst. In LR habe ich dann noch die Voreinstellung "Farbe - Hoher Kontrast / Details (ja, funktioniert auch bei SW-Bildern 😉) für mehr "Knackigkeit" verwendet. Ach ja, beleuchtet hatte ich das Ganze von rechts und von unten.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Challenge this week is curves. I went to my favorite instrument for inspiration. This is a closeup of the scroll of my cello.
