A friend came over to learn a little about macro photography and this is the result. Shot with a legacy Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens with an adapter on an OM- D EM1 Mk ll. Stacked with Photoshop.
Meanders of Weser through North Germany. An ugly, industrial landscape transformed into beauty by distance and light.
Took a little walk in the James River yesterday. I took this while standing in a little sandbar that appeared only in the last year or so. The secret (What is it about me and secrets the past couple of pictures?) is that you have to stay really close to the bank. Otherwise it's like quicksand. As one foot sank in quickly, I scrambled closer to the bank, laughing at myself.
First time to see these in our lantana. Tried to grab a couple of photos, not quite in sharp focus but wanted to record its presence. May get better ones later. They nest in the ground.
This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.
I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.
For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.
I still love the colours!
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.
Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.

Labourers are working for drying threads after colouring for making saree in a village in West Bengal, India
Still exploring my wife's sowing stuff. I spent plenty of time getting lots of colour shots of reels of thread, but I couldn't really make anything work. This was a bit of a throw-away shot, but it's the best of a bad bunch.

I couldn't resist this vintage thread holder and made no promises to sew more if I bought it.
“Silver thread through the Rockies” the advertising agent wrote in the 1950’s for the California Zephyr. Now more than 70 years later the phrase still stands true. @amtrak Number 5, the California Zephyr is seen here going through the Rockies, not around them and shimmers in the beautiful winter morning light along the amazing Flatirons. .

Nemoptera bipennis.
Idanha-a-Nova / Portugal
This is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).
This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies.
This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.
Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).

An Ancient Chinese proverb says, “An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”
2/104
This is my freestyle, actually for the past week, but could not upload due to finals!
Once I finish my exhibition I'm planning just too many new shoots, totally different styles (even wedding!) and in all that I hope I find some time to make some short films -mainly for practice!
And I love the idea of Project 104. I'm thinking, creating and at the same time allowing myself to work on other stuff too. Which is great.
Also, I have no idea what will I do for Uni. Will I continue, will I stop?
One thing for certain, I will be applying for scholarships. Anything related to art.
In the latest action-packed issue of Spider-Man, our web-slinging hero pursues the notorious Green Goblin! While "hang gliding" high above New York City, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense tingles the moment that one of his webs snaps! Spidey must now hang on to one thread if he wishes to stay in one piece!
This 3D comic cover built in Stud.io only uses bricks that are actually available in their chosen colors. The main detail is that Spider-Man and Green Goblin are bursting out of the pages of the comic book. There are other details waiting to be found.
This is my entry into the LEGO Ideas "Your friendly neighborhood comic book hero!" contest.
Actually my second choice for Macro Mondays "holes" theme. My first choice, also on my photostream, did not meet the criteria. The entire hole was not visible.
