Small vial with glass stopper, once given to me by my brother as a birthday present and meant to be used as a perfume bottle, but normally it's filled with seed beads. Took some captures with the beads, with the beads and water, didn't like any, so went for just water, water with - boring, I know - dish detergent, water with olive oil, water with dish detergent and olive oil... I was quite undecided which capture to upload, so probably two outtakes will follow.
This is the first time I used a self-made softbox as one lightsource (video links see below), but used my LED lamps as well. There wasn't much natural light available, and since the artificial light gave the images a soft, yellow-ish touch I did some split toning in LR and ON1 Photo Raw to add some colour spice.

DIY softbox on Youtube (and there are many, many more videos):
I followed these instructions, super simple, super easy. It's in German, but the images are self explanatory: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfBlZeFexpE

A Happy Macro Monday Everyone ;-)
Kleiner Flakon mit langem Glasstopfen, den mein Bruder mir mal zum Geburtstag geschenkt hat und der eigentlich als Parfümfläschchen dienen sollte, den ich aber immer mit Rocailles befüllt habe. Mit den Perlchen habe ich denn auch angefangen, Perlen pur, Perlen in Wasser, so richtig hat mir keins gefallen. Dann also: Perlen raus, Wasser rein, Fotos. Dann: Spüli dazu, Fotos. Dann: Spüliwasser raus, Wasser mit Olivenöl rein, Fotos, Spüli dazu, Fotos... usw. usf. Ich konnte mich am Ende nicht recht entscheiden, wahrscheinlich kommen also noch zwei weitere Fotos aus dieser "Serie" ;-)
Hier habe ich zum ersten Mal mit einer selbstgebauten Softbox experimentiert (Links siehe oben). Außerdem kamen noch meine schwedischen LEDs zum Einsatz. Da wenig natürliches Licht zur Verfügung stand und das Kunstlicht immer einen gelblichen Farbstich erzeugt, habe ich in LR und ON1 Photo Raw an den Teiltonungs-Reglern gedreht, um dem Foto etwas mehr farblichen Pep zu verleihen.
Ich wünsche Euch eine sonnige Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Compositionally Challenged Week 33 - Chiaroscuro
We attended a Parade of Homes more than 30 years ago and saw this lamp in one of the featured homes. I fell in love with it and it became Steve's mission to find an identical one for me. He contacted the decorator of the show home, and she directed him to the Denver Merchandise Mart, a wholesale trade center. He made numerous phone calls and eventually found the lamp. He was very excited and so was I. My hero! : )
Rice production represents a significant portion of the Thai economy, occupying half of the country's farm land and employing half of the labor force. Flooded paddy fields, like the one shown here, allow farmers to keep the rice irrigated during the dry season.

Sepia-Toned Rural Scene - Pasture, Farmland, Barn, Mountains - The Appalachian Mountains. I took this photo while riding on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad train.
Although I have quite a few crystals I never photograph them because I find it so difficult. Most of my bigger crystals came to me because someone died and the daughter let me have them as she knew I had always admired them. It included this cluster of crystals. Some mineral structure is growing in the middle there (I could never make it look like I focused on it)
I used a split toning preset I have because it would have looked too boring without anything.
