Unlike the previous two posts, this subject is very common. They can be found in most anemones. But they are small (about 1 cm long) and they tend to hide deep in the anemone, making a clean shot challenging. In this case, I like how the tentacles of the anemone frame the shrimp and the pattern on the shrimp mimics the "lamp like" look of the tentacles.

Beaumaris Castle by Andy Rouse

40 20

Beaumaris, Anglesey

Built by Edward I and his architect James of St George, Beaumaris was meant to be the crowning glory and masterpiece of castle design and architecture following Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech castles.

The result was a fortress of immense size and near-perfect symmetry. No fewer than four concentric rings of formidable defences included a water-filled moat with its very own dock. The outer walls alone bristled with 300 arrow loops.

However, lack of money and trouble brewing in Scotland meant building work had petered out by the 1320s. The south gatehouse and the six great towers in the inner ward never reached their intended height. The Llanfaes gate was barely started before being abandoned. So, the distinctive squat shape of Beaumaris tells of a dream that never quite came true. Still it takes its rightful place on the global stage as part of the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd World Heritage Site.

Because this castle is special – both for the scale of its ambition and beauty of its proportions. Gloriously incomplete Beaumaris is perhaps the supreme achievement of the greatest military architect of the age.

Mais qu'eeeeeeest-ce donc que cela ?

Est-ce un oiseau ?

Est-ce un avion ?

Est-ce un char d'assaut moyen soviétique T-34 ?

Non.

C'est...

Quiconque a déjà fait de la photo de rue sait.

Quiconque pratique la photo de rue sait que vous autres, amis piétons, ignorez à quel point parfois vos silhouettes donnent le vertige ou figent d'incompréhension face à autant de bizarrerie.

Nous emportons nos petits mondes solitaires avec nous sans réaliser vraiment ce à quoi nous ressemblons à cause de celui-ci... :-))

SQUAT SHRIMP by Sonja Ooms

A very common shrimp. They are brown with several large white and brown circular markings, sometimes with a blue line around the circles. They typically hold their tails vertically. Frequently groups associate with anemones, often near the edges of the host. The females are larger than males. Found in Anilao, South Luzon, Philippines.

Flickr wheels? Possible :-) Last minute idea yesterday evening. Actually I had a "Wheelscape" in mind, a close-up of a real wheel or tire with interesting patterns and rubber texture. But since I don't have a car or bike, that would have meant to take the camera (and tripod!), go out, and shoot a random car or bicycle wheel/tire in the street at a low angle. Really? And risk being reported to the police because of suspicious behaviour or a possible manipulation of a car, or as a possible bicycle thief? No. Definitely no ;-) Apart from the fact that I would have felt incredibly stupid squatting in front of a car tire with my camera. Understandable, right? As an extra excuse: it was waaayyy too hot to go out yesterday, cosy 38 °C / 100,4 °F.

So I stayed at home, and had to find something else to capture. I didn't want to capture the toy car wheel, so went on an expedition around the apartment to find some other wheel. I took a few shots of a rotary cutter, with a sewing pattern as background, but it looked boring. But at least that gave me the idea to try and capture my sewing machine's yarn bobbin(s) :-) They are round, they have a hole in the middle, they run on an axis (sort of) = Wheel(s).

Since the curtains were drawn to keep the sunshine and heat out, I used an LED lamp for some extra light, and that cast an interesting looking light reflection / shadow (something I have experimented with before) on the white semi-glossy tile I used as background. An interesting thing I had never noticed before is that the yarn isn't just made of threads of one colour, but both the red and blue yarn are made of coloured and white threads; I suppose the white is some synthetic fibre to increase the tear strength of the yarn.

Captured with the camera mounted "lens first" / upside down (my new macro tripod has already payed off in terms of safety and saving nerves!), and processed, as usual, in Luminar 3: Accent-AI filter at 30, small and medium details at 100 (yarn bobbins and threads only), removed colour cast, method 2 at 20; and in ON1 Photo RAW, where I purified the highlights.

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Am Rad drehen

Bzw. an der Garnspule. In Flickr-Farben? Warum nicht, war ja verrückt genug hier in letzter Zeit :-) Pink, Blau und Gelb waren auch die einzigen Farben, die ich auf den Auswechselspulen schon drauf hatte, und da Gelb nicht so toll aussah, habe ich mich an Pink und Blau gehalten.

Das war aber gar nicht meine ursprüngliche Idee. Eigentlich wollte ich eine Art "Reifenlandschaft" fotografieren, also ganz nah ran an einen Auto- oder Fahrradreifen, für ein evtl. interessantes Muster. Dumm nur, dass ich weder Auto noch Rad fahre. Das hätte also bedeutet, sich das Stativ zu schnappen, rauszugehen und einen beliebigen Reifen an einem auf der Straße geparkten Gefährt zu fotografieren. Und dabei zu riskieren, als vermeintliche Fahrraddiebin oder Reifen-Manipulatorin Ärger zu bekommen. Und darauf hatte ich keine Lust. Mal davon abgesehen, dass ich mir unendlich blöd dabei vorgekommen wäre, mich mit der Kamera vor einen Autoreifen zu hocken. Nachvollziehbar, oder? Und zu heiß (38 °C in Berlin) war es gestern sowieso.

Es musste also ein "inhäusiger" Reifen her. Das Spielzeugauto wollte ich nicht nehmen, also war eine kleine Erkundungstour durch die Wohnung angezeigt. Bei der ich irgendwann den Rollschneider entdeckte (den ich noch nie verwendet habe, um Stoff zuzuschneiden). Ich habe es mit einem Schnittmuster als Hintergrund versucht, fand die Bilder aber eher uninteressant. Immerhin war ich aber nun schon mal in der richtigen, nämlich der Nähecke gelandet. Und da fielen mir die Ersatz-Garnspulen ein, die der MM-Definition von "Wheel(s)" ziemlich genau entsprechen. Der wegen der zugezogenen Vorhänge und des schwindenden Tageslichts benötigte LED-Strahler brachte mich dann zusätzlich auf die Idee, mit den Lichtspiegelungen und dem Schattenwurf, den er auf der matt-glänzenden Kachel (als Untergrund) erzeugte, zu spielen (was ich schon einmal für ein MM-Thema gemacht hatte). Eine Idee in letzter Minute gestern am späteren Abend :-)

Ein interessantes Detail am Garn, das ich so zuvor noch nicht wahrgenommen hatte, ist die Zweifarbigkeit des Fadens. Offensichtlich besteht Nähgarn nicht nur aus Fäden einer Farbe. Ich vermute, dass der weiße Faden aus einer Kunstfaser ist, um die Reißfestigkeit des Garnes zu erhöhen. Bitte "Z" drücken!

Entwickelt in Luminar 3: Accent-AI-Filter bei 30, kleine und mittlere Details auf 100 angehoben (nur Spulen und Fäden), Farbstich entfernen mit der Methode 2 bei 20; und in ON1 Photo RAW habe ich noch die Lichter "gereinigt" ("purify highlights").

Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne, kühle(re) Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

It may surprise you to learn that you can't retrieve glasses that go down this hole.

And-- by the way -- the toilet paper is bring your own. Cramped quarters for a photo...
