#myclosest

Well, this is not really my closest image, even though I've used the extension tubes here; but I wanted a little bit of negative space around the measuring device and the item that is paired with it, so I decided to go for a roughly 2 cm / 0,7 inches image frame.

The main subject is a broken ear stud which I've used for Macro Mondays before (please see the first comment). When the stud broke off the golf ball shaped glass bead, a shiny mirror surface (0,4 cm / 0,15 inches in diameter) was revealed (and said mirror surface also is the reason why these earrings keep breaking apart – the surface where bead and stud are glued together is too sleek), and I thought it might look interesting, if I placed the bead so that the shiny "breaking point" would reflect a part of the cm scale.

The measuring device I've used is a hexagonally shaped "Construction" ballpen that has an inch scale and several cm scales printed on its surface, and is also equipped with a level, a touch screen stylus (on the back cap) and a Phillips and a regular screwdriver (inside the back cap), very convenient. I've used modeling clay to prevent the glass bead from rolling off the ballpen and to keep it stay put at the right angle for a nice and sharp reflection.

The final result is a rather simplistic, manual two image focus stacking. The in-camera focus stacking function couldn't handle the image's depth of field all too well this time, so I simply took two photos, one of the 1:1 cm scale's reflection, and one with the glass bead (slightly more) in focus. I did some sharpening and denoising in DXO before I combined the images in Photoshop. Extra processing was done in Analog Efex (Classic Camera 5 with vignette and basic adjustments) and Color Efex (filters used were: "Brilliance and Warmth", "Lighten Center" and "Skylight").

Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, have a nice week ahead, and stay safe!

Thema der Woche bei Macro Mondays ist: Squared Circle /Quadratischer Kreis

Or: Parting should be painless?

#pair

Oh dear, this sure turned out differently... namely because one of these glass balls which sparkle so nicely in the sunshine decided to part with the stud while I was arranging it for the photo. Damn. Not that it actually surprised be, because that has happened before. I had them repaired, and I will get them repaired once again, soon, because these studs are summer favourites of mine, given to me by a dear friend ages ago.

Well, as I looked at the misery, I noticed that the surface with which the tiny glass "golf ball" was glued to the stud is shiny like a mirror – could I use that for the photo? I tried to arrange the studs so that the intact earring would be reflected in the mirror surface of the broken one and, for the sake of completeness, placed the broken-off stud behind the single glass ball. What I'd initially planned as a shiny, blingy glamour photo with lots of golden bokeh and a black background had turned into a "down to earth" version – ready for repair on the workbench ;)

Quickly focus-stacked today, and equally quickly processed in DXO PhotoLab 4 and Analog Efex (for a warmer look and the vignette), because I ran out of time again.

Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!

Macro Mondays

Theme: PushPull

Size: Less than 3x3 inches

For this week's theme, I have to used items from my wife's jewellery and sewing boxes.

The subjects are a stud earring and a stud button. The male part of the stud button is on the left and the female part is on the right. The earring measures 1cm x 1cm x 1.5 cm, while the diameter of the stud button is approximately 8mm. There are 4 light sources; an overhead incandescent light at 9 o'clock and 3 small LED torchlights at 7, 12 and 5 o'clock.

The assembly sits on a blue cloth.

Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs...it is always appreciated...

HMM

Macro Mondays: Pair

These studs are very small -- 0.5 cm in diameter each. They are clear, but when the facets catch the light the right way, they burst into colour.
