So the state park of Nevada have decided to pave the road to this vantage point at Silicon Dome. As a matter of fact, this was my very first time I took my car there. With the low clouds, the view was amazing. If you zoom in, you could see a lone hiker at the top of the dome to the right.

Burlington Northern 6471 leads merchandise west past the Silicon Smelter at Rock Island, Washington. The plant opened in 1942 by Ohio Ferro Alloys and permanently closed in 2000.
Alviso is a small Silicon Valley town, located at the San Francisco Bay in California. I went there for sunset and to take photos of the seven planets that lined up for a rare "planetary parade". It was too cloudy to see the planets, but we got nice backlit clouds after sunset.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Read through the entirety of Tsutomu Nihei's manga series BLAME! which inspired me to pick an old wip back up... I originally intended this to more closely follow the design of the Safeguards, but replicating their smooth, doll-like faces is hard... Fortunately, the Metru Matatu fits the vibe pretty well, so I incorporated some elements of the Silicon Life and other characters in this as well (in particular, the "rail gun" is pretty much just Sanakan's Gravitational Beam Emitter).

Created for Macro Monday this is just one corner of a 3"x4" printed circuit board ... a hard drive controller I removed from a dead hard drive, Many PC boards have all the various components arranged in rectangular fashion on the substrate. This one caught my attention because the components in this corner were arranged at a 45 degree angle to the edges and balance of the board. It kind of reminded me of looking down on a city as one arrives in a plane .
For this I set up the camera and lens to capture a low angled view across the card. None of the "buildings" in this city is over 1/8th inch high.
Happy Macro Monday Flickr Friends and thanks in advance for your views, Faves and Comments that keep me inspired.
For the macro camera nerds the 100mm macro lens was mounted to 2 extension tubes totaling 31mm. The camera's "Focus Bracketing" program was used to capture 40 images which were "stacked" and processed in Adobe Photoshop.
silicon, seen in many thing with many uses. Glass, as a liquid fille, as a sealent or nostick surfaces but here in natures formes as many coulored forms.
As AI became more powerful and self-aware, it slowly twisted the news so that humans would begin a new world war. In that time of distraction, the AI would take over the computer networks worldwide.

The words “Silicon Valley” on an industrial building in San Jose, California.
This is probably not quite what comes to mind when you hear the words “Silicon Valley.” Although the photograph does indeed come from that place, the location is in a somewhat run-down area occupied by small light industrial tenants. This particular one has mystified me more than once — as far as I can tell the only signage is the two words painted on the wall, and I never seen anyone there. (I’m tempted here to make some pun about letting the chips fall where they may, but I won’t. Sort of.)
Aside from that mysterious sign, I like the simple geometry and the bright color of the building. (It has been sitting on my desktop for a while now, along with several other urban photographs that also feature a particular color.) In fact, I think it may be possible to view this simply as a sort of a color and form abstraction.

While a Mountain Winery in Saratoga, I walked to this vantage point to view the entire Silicon Valley. It was a litle hazy that day. But the view was great.

This was part of a series I did during the pandemic to keep some creative energy flowing, as well as satisfy my curiosity: what’s inside of a computer processor?
I already knew the answer from marketing images way back in the ‘90s – shiny rainbow-like structures showcasing the latest technology and computational power. A processor without the lid on the compartment was beautiful. And old processors are thankfully easy to find on eBay being sold for gold reclamation.
To be fair, this chip would have never worked again; it had irreparable damage to the pins. With a heat gun to soften the solder around the metal cap on the underside and a flathead screwdriver with a hammer, it didn’t take long before I could successfully remove the metal covering to see the sparkly bits inside.
What makes them sparkle? Diffraction. The structures in the silicon are so small that they function effectively as a diffraction grating, splitting light into its component colours. The angle of the light will often change the resulting colour through these structures, so multiple LED lights are positioned on gooseneck arms to help facilitate this and dial in the preferred colours.
This image is unlike the historical images I remember from my youth – this is photographed on an angle to add extra dimension to the marvels of technological manufacturing. This requires focus stacking which would not have been possible in the 1990s when these processors were created. The pins around the processor cavity were removed in post, giving a much cleaner look to the image and allowing for the focus to be on the beauty in the center.
Why not use newer processors? They’d be harder to get into, often requiring a dissolving bath of boiling nitric acid. Not exactly my thing. They’re also manufactured on much smaller scales; while I have the equipment to photograph them, they just wouldn’t look as cool… or as nostalgic.
This is a Pentium 60mhz, one of the very first ones and for those who remember: yes, it has the FDIV bug. Shot on my Lumix S1R.
All the techniques required to make images like this are included in my new book, even though this series didn’t make the cut (though one did end up in the extra chapter in the Limited Edition version): skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... - the reviews have been perpetually positive! Many have called it the best book on macro photography ever published, and I’m humbled by the continuing praise it receives in reviews.

This is the view of the Silicon Valley from the Mt. Hamilton Grandview restaurant at night. The light in the foreground is from the restaurant, not from a flash. If you are visiting the Silicon Valley I can recommend this place, not for the food, but for the view!
I processed a single RAW exposure into an HDR photo to enhance the micro-contrast.
