Nikon D750 / Nikkor 50/1.4

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.

I couldn't come up with anything exciting for today's challenge - just a reel of thread and one large needle!

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.

The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.

44/365

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.

I know I am SO behind on my 365 challenge! ><

I'm at home for Thanksgiving break and I've got some free time so I'm trying to catch up on it right now (:

These are my friendship bracelets. I love making them for me and my friends. Each one represents one of my closest friends and I wear them 24/7 :)

Quechua women's dress today is rooted in traditions from pre-conquest Peru (a fusion of Inca and Huari cultures), and Spanish Colonial peasant dress (often with some modern touches).

In the Peruvian High Andes, each village has a unique style of clothing that identifies the wearer as belonging to that region.

Indigenous women in the Andes dress in layers of bright, colorful traditional Andean clothing, including capes, shawls, embroidered skirts, and vibrantly colored hats.

However many women dress in modern clothing these days, and wear their traditional garb for special occasions. Increasingly, young women who live in Cusco and other urban centers choose to wear modern clothing, but may revert to traditional Andean clothing when back in their villages.*

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!

Totaly forgot about those shots, taken in March :)

This really showed a big difference between a piece of thread and its shadow. I tilted the paper away from the sun to get thicker, more interesting shadows.
