I have been thinking lately that I need to take some wider angle photos and it is difficult when I enjoy the world close up and macro. My next goal should be wide lens work of people and places.

Indoor Tulip stem with sunlit accents....Morning Sunlight seeping through the window blinds.

for Macro Mondays. Compared with the large bowl, the long stems on my posh wine glasses seem very slender and fragile, and I always take great care when handling them.

 

The five other glasses are reflected in this one stem.

This minuscule Ceutorhynch (Seed) Weevil was no more than 3mm long and proved to be one of the most difficult insects that I've tried photographing. Looking at it in this shot you get no idea how small they are!

seen in my kitchen sink

For Macro Mondays - Glass

Wine glass stem

I was "admonished" (not seriously) by an acquaintance yesterday for not using my Hasselblad enough, so today I accepted the challenge to make some images with it. This frame made use of the 0.5 Proxar closeup filter.

Film: Ilford FP4+ (lovely stuff) processed in iffy Xtol.

I was out early one morning with only the big lens, looking for wildlife. No luck there, but I was very glad I noticed this frost on these red stems. I don't know what the plant is. I've been bringing my macro lens every day since, but frost this nice doesn't happen very often. Siskiyou County, California

Macro Mondays and the theme of "Glass" and I decided on using a wine glass to show light refraction through the stem of the glass.

 

I had this idea while using the glass for it's intended purpose.

 

after first trying to photograph the name of the wine through the stem and not liking the result I thought about making it a colour oriented shot and used the coloured stripey bag that I used in a recent Macro Mondays effort.

  

Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

Clean stem glasses are stored upside down in a bar. A play of warm light, shadows and reflections. The impression of cleanliness.

No time for much right now so this was supposed to be a quick photo that ended up taking longer than expected (as they often do)!

tiny bubbles... look close!

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

Looking very bare, the semaphore masts at North Orleans on the Hoosier Sub.

12 - 24mm wide angle lens used near to the stem to give that long stem effect.

This flower was just taken from a vase of flowers and held up to the sky for the shot.

Just a quick sharpen and contrast boost added and a little lens flare just for effect !

When I buy a pumpkin I always try to find one with an interesting stem. I liked this one it seems to have a life of its own.

 

In case you are interested in what is going on here..... the original colours were dark stems against a pale blue sky. I didn't like the look of the dark stems - so I gave in did some heavy-handed processing instead of my standard Lightroom only routine. I don't have Photoshop, so I did this in Gimp.....split out the blue channel as a B&W image, inverted it and then added it on top a flat coloured deep indigo layer to add back some colour.
