Here is the third capture taken for the Monday Macro Theme. This one is slightly farther back allowing for more of the fabric foot being in the frame ... but there (2) was at f/32 this one is at f/8 creating that pretty bokeh effect ... this may be my favorite (though there is a version (4) at f/13 that looks neat too, but that one will not get posted).

This coming Monday's Macro theme is cloth ... so I started thinking about some interesting ways to capture some cloths. I settled on getting the macro of the cloth in some sewing action.

This of course meant I would have to engage Mrs. Krach. First off this required me to enter her sewing room which meant I needed to get a 'Permit" to enter the space.

Do not want to mention the Red Tape needed to actually touch the new sewing machine ...

I then searched through some of the fabrics laying about, and this one with the blue cloth and sequins I imagined would make for some nice reflections and bokeh.

Given all the preparatory permits and permissions needed to set this up, I took a bunch of close in compositions at various apertures to play with depth of field. So will posting some variations to see which folks like the most before submitting the final one to the Macro Monday group coming up.

Sewing notions, for Macro Monday...

Macro Mondays - Plugs and Jacks

My sewing days are long over but I still have odds and ends that remind me of what used to be. I never did get on with using a sewing machine , so dress-making and furnishings were a no-no, but let me loose on hand -stitched patchwork or hand embroidery and I was in heaven!

Now I can use my bits and bobs as still life subjects so I'm in a different kind of heaven with my camera ....

Note to self: Next time ask someone who knows what he's doing.

Just found this in my archives from last year, this advice made me smile and cringe at the same time! The first paragraph has a good deal of common sense….

I had a Singer sewing machine much like this in my teens, it had belonged to my Granny and Mum so it caught my eye…

Seen at Brockhampton Estate last year.

Happy Thursday Monochrome 😀

The light shifting through the window is the glow from the forest fires on the west coast of the US specifically in Oregon.

The dunlin moves along the coastal beaches it prefers with a characteristic "sewing machine" feeding action, methodically picking small food items. Insects form the main part of the dunlin's diet on the nesting grounds; it eats molluscs, worms and crustaceans in coastal areas.

For this challenge we had to be creative with sewing notions. Once I received from my sister writing paper on which she had sewn threads. I loved that paper. So I thought to sew a leaf on colored paper. and this is the result. This leaf is about 5 cm.

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Very late entry, found a cheap sewing kit (needle quality can tell) and used a few items to setup for the shot.
