"Thread", Tim Lowly, acrylic on panel, 13.7" x 11.7", 2019.
This brand new painting is one of two works that I will have in the upcoming group show at Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. The opening reception is this Friday, November 6 from 5 - 8 pm. There are 26 artists in the exhibition. If you are in the Chicago vicinity you don't want to miss this.
For Macro Monday Creamy.
Some creamy threads beads and light reflecting off lace.
Captured with iPhone and Olloclip Macro Lens. No editing other than small crop and frame.
Just a few of the vintage thread spools I have. These are the old wooden spools and are quite old as they belonged to my mother when I was a child.
Strobist: SB600 bounced off ceiling, 285HV fired from behind and to the right of thread (rotated from horizontal).
Thread-leaf Bluestar.It's scientific name is Amsonia hubrichtii named after biologist and malacologist Leslie (male) Hubricht who discovered the flower in Arkansas in 1942.The steel blue flowers are native to Oklahoma and Arkansas and they started to bloom this month (May).
This macro shot was taken in the studio for some theme–based group, back in September 2019. I do not remember which one, nor what the theme was! I have a behind-the-scenes snap (which I have also uploaded), so I can describe the lighting setup below.
Shot tethered with TetherTools bright orange cable —and extension! as my office, desk and computer is 30 meters away from that table... Fun, but not very convenient.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a C–stand in zenithal position, 1.5 meters above subject, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro basic reflector fitted with 30–degree Andoer grid, 1.8 meters from subject and slightly above it; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and slightly above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflectors on two sides.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body in zenithal position on a Neewer C–stand, Micro–Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 macro lens.
The Nematocera (thread-horns) are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae, consisting of the mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and midges.
Nematocera are typically characterized by filamentous, multisegmented antennae which may be plumose in some males. The Nematocera are a paraphyletic suborder, because one of its constituent families (Anisopodidae) is apparently a sister taxon to the entire suborder Brachycera; an alternative classification has been proposed in which the family Nymphomyiidae (traditionally classified within the Blephariceromorpha) is removed to its own suborder, the Archidiptera, and all the remaining nematoceran families are placed in a suborder called Eudiptera; however, the Eudiptera are also paraphyletic, and this classification has not been widely accepted. Largely due to its long history, the name Nematocera continues to be used.
Examples of the Nematocera include the mosquitoes (Culicidae), crane flies (Tipulidae) and black flies (Simuliidae). Many of the remaining families (especially Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae, and Sciaridae), are called gnats, while others (especially Chironomidae, Cecidomyiidae, and Ceratopogonidae) are called midges.
The larvae are mostly aquatic and have distinct heads with mouthparts that may be modified for filter feeding. The pupae are orthorrhaphous (meaning adults emerge from the pupa through a straight seam in the pupal cuticle). The bodies and legs of the adults are usually elongate, and these flies often have relatively long abdomens.
Many species form mating swarms of males, and in some of these, competition for females is extreme. Although many species (as larvae) have a strong association with water, even within a single family there may be a trend toward semiaquatic and terrestrial habitats.
Get Pushed Challenge Round 60
This round I was paired with Raf Degeest and the challenge he sent me was:
1. make a still life capture from anything that you find in the house
2. think out of the box (so no typical fruit or flowers scene)
3. use natural incoming light
you might set your camera on manual focus to do this.
I had a lot of fun with this and tried lots of different things... before settling on the thread. Just goes to show...there is always something to shoot!
Thanks for the challenge Raf!
The yucca is a fascinating plant of needles and threads. It looks like t's trying to sew itself up with spiraling threads springing from the leaves. This is one of the spiraling threads.

Borrowed thread from my mom. She was a dressmaker. Her specialty, wedding gowns and fine dresses. She taught me to sew my clothes when I was a teen.
A fine cord of cotton or other fibrous material is spun out to a considerable length, especially when it is composed of two or more fibers twisted together.

I never make New Year's resolutions as such, but I always come up with a list of goals that I want to achieve by the end of the year. So, at 3am on January 1st I lay awake thinking of what I wanted from 2017. I have spent today and yesterday reflecting upon what I decided over a month ago and consolidating this list.
1. Improve photography. Take more portraits and improve film photography and darkroom techniques.
2. Complete A-levels & get into Uni.
3. Get pointe work back to the standard needed for the performance.
4. Start painting again.
1 & 3 are coming along (I hope) and 2 is slipping further and further from my reach every day. But I have not picked up a paintbrush and a set of watercolours since my GCSE art exam a year and a half ago, and I used to love painting. I barely even draw anymore, and I feel I really should get back into it. The only problem is, I really do not think I have the confidence anymore. I am thinking about trying to recreate my GCSE final piece, but all I have to work from is memory and a couple of bad pictures on my phone.
Oh, I forgot to say anything about the photo... My Mum sells cross stitched cards - Christmas cards, birthday cards, Valentine's day cards, you get the idea. But it means she has so many embroidery threads of all sorts of colours. I saw them tipped out the other day when she was searching for a colour for a design she was about to start and it was like this rainbow mountain. But I was busy photographing matchsticks at the time, so I had to photograph it today instead. I was lucky to have wonderful sunshine to light it.
