The Macro Mondays year started with cotton and I thought it would be good to finish with it.
"Macro Mondays: Redux 2022
This is a shot I took back in November, thought I'd try it with different tones..
Canon EOS 550D EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
ƒ/5.6 187.0 mm 1/4000 ISO 400
This particular image took me 1.5 hours to complete. It was very tedious to do. I made the shot mono and then with a layer mask revealed certain spools of thread. I am very pleased with the outcome and hope you like this image.
Happy Slider Sunday
Always one to follow a thread, or a train of thought and after my "From train" up load of the car and the bridge, upon arrival at WBQ, i realized this train was running 180+ mins late, which in turn lead to a rethink, i decided to head back to Earlestown ( not far ) get in the car and drive to here, again not far, with a shot in mind, but also with the opportunity of a practice shot before hand, albeit on a South bound pair of Skoda's,but practice is practice,
Ok, it is far from perfect, but a reasonable attempt, from which i learned a lot, which was the name of the game.
After reasonable pleasure from "Girl on a Bike, i thought i would try a subject with a lot more mass and speed,
With hind sight, i would move further left, and maybe take some steps to stand on, the inside of the drivers door frame was stable, but not high enough, to clear the trees left. and the stable building right. hence the crop.
Oh and possibly on a dry day.........

Happy Sliders Sunday!
I used a brightly colored pink and blue fabric as the background for the needle/thread. In post I added some HDR and a Ribbet filter called Panography-ish, then added a drop-shadow frame.
Actually, I wanted to photograph dew-wetted insects, but at this time of day it doesn't work out so well. At least the lavender is still glittering a little (probably it hadn't moved enough yet as it was fixed with the spider's thread). Happy weekend everybody ☀️

The macro mondays group’s theme for 3/16 is needle and thread; and this is one of the possibilities. I am still learning about macro on the iPhone but I do like its potential......... check out the set-up shot in the first comment box
this was not an easy theme. When I tried the needle against the sequined backdrop it was very tricky to focus.
Colourful cotton threads
HMM!
Macro Mondays: Fill the Frame
(The complete reel here is just over 1 inch (2.54cm)
For Macro Monday's theme of Cotton and Definitely Dreaming week 1 theme of Man Made. Keeping these threads separate is a problem!
The cotton reels are small so the whole lot makes the 3 inch size
"Ttéia 1,C" by Lygia Pape - The Ttéias are constructed by the geometric installation of silver or gold-coloured threads in a space, either from the floor to the ceiling.
The word ‘ttéia’, which Pape created, is an elision of the Portuguese word for ‘web’ and ‘teteia’, a colloquial word for a graceful and delicate person or thing.
