I wasn't going to do anything like this at the start of the week - other ideas came and went. I've 'done' rubber bands before but not as 'macro' and I'm still trying to work-out 'bokah'. So the two thoughts came together. So to go with the theme On have an unstretched rubber band. After several attempts I've got this 'dreamy' version using my old legacy Russian Jupiter 8 lens - at least you can see that the diaphragm has 8 blades!

I was looking for something 'Spiky' for this weeks 'MacroMondays' challenge and found this old brush in a cardboard box. Obviously I had been hoping for another dog and just stored it away. Why it wasn't cleaned before I just don't know, but it has been now!
Still looking at possibilities with this odd lens - rather like it so far and the bokeh I'm getting seems very acceptable.

Just bought a chocolate glazed cake but wanted something more exotic on top :)
Macro Mondays: "Glazed"
Macro photo. I kept the leaf for some months, preventing it from drying out, before i took this picture.

Orchid table top macro in the kitchen today. I have taken a photograph of it today as I usually manage to kill my orchids within 4 weeks.

A table top macro shot taken with a 50mm prime lens and a set of extension tubes.
The ball bearing was placed on a geometric pattern created in photoshop and printed on A4 paper.
While contemplating this week's challenge I decided to open a bottle of wine ............. and there it was!!!
Shot while I could still focus......
EXPLORE: 7/19/09
These were grown from seed I saved from last year. This was the only decent shot I had out of a whole bunch. None of the rest had the detail this one did.
A bunch of asparagus spears are today's subject.

Trying to photograph a glass of water I caught this as I was setting up. The idea had been to use the result as an illustration to MMs theme of 'Staying Healthy' - drinking plenty of water is needed for that. Then the phrase 'Over the Edge' came to mind - an expression that alludes to the edge of sanity - and so to the issues of mental health.
'Staying Healthy' is about mental as well as physical health.
I suspect a lot of us use our photography as a means of relaxation and removal from our everyday stresses so as a result we are more likely to be mentally 'Staying Healthy'.
Originally posted and titled 'Glass Tumbler', the photo is of the top rim of a clear drinking glass.

For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Ceramics'
This week I had decided to photograph a trio : plate, saucer & cup. Went to the display cabinet to make my selection only to see four small brightly dressed dolls that had been given to M several years ago. I know she hadn't been thrilled with them but as they were gifts they were put into the cabinet. I've always wondered if they would make good photographic props, and seeing them there, it was just a case of which to choose.
So here is an extremely well dressed and elegant ceramic lady, all dressed up, and nowhere to go!
Steinhell-Cassarit f3.5 100mm .................................
This contribution is well within the 3 inch limit.
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Jewelry.'
Well over 50 years ago my father bought this cameo broach for my mother while they were on holiday in Italy. Mounted on a gold chain its now part of M's jewelry but seldom seems to see the light of day.
I had fun lighting. One lamp is providing lighting through the shell whilst another is 'filling in' at the front.
Russian Jupiter 11 (Fat Boy) .......................................... about 1.5 inches
It really is the old kitchen grater.
I stole it without M looking!
Lit with a single lamp, and some reflected light from my gift bag, (I keep using this), and then a bit of fiddling - not much really.

I've been playing with the 50mm reversed lens again doing some Macro.

Rainy Day Shrike - Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands (a.k.a. Viera Wetlands), Melbourne, Florida
The beauty of wet and wild.
With part of it being that there's a whole lot less traffic on rainy days, so there are fewer tourists to scare away your subjects!
And besides they look kinda cute waiting for their blow-dry.
FYI - Pretty amazing how much detail can be captured from 30—35 feet away when you're using prime glass.
Doing one a day whilst stuck largely at home - you know why . . . Hopefully the majority will be macros.

Wilson's Snipe (a.k.a. Common Snipe, Jack Snipe, English Snipe; Gallinago delicata) - Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands (a.k.a. Viera Wetlands), Melbourne, Florida
Here Wilson tucks his beak to stay warm on a brisk winter's day, while keepin' a close watch of me on the horizon in my CRV (a.k.a. Portable Blind).
If you look into Wilson's eye you can see my car blocking the sun, parked on the loop road. That gave me the diffuse lighting (from the bright clouds around my car) I needed to cut down on the contrast between the lights and darks on this guy, so I could get nice detail in his feathers.
FYI - This is a tighter crop of the previous post where you can use Flickr's magnifying tool to get a better look at this guy's eye, and feather detail.
Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta) - Biolab Road, Canaveral National Seashore, Wilson, Florida
These guys can be quite difficult to capture at the seashore, since the on-shore breeze will challenge you with motion blur, and the moving web which moves the subject in and out of focus as the web and supporting plants are blown around in the breeze. So I tend to take lots of pics and hope that a large number of captures will nudge probability in my favor.
For '2DWF' theme of 'New Beginnings'.
Collected at the beginning of my day, the newspaper makes a good start.
On record cards I've been noting down ideas for a photographic theme involving my daily newspaper. Ideas are one thing but their conversion to photographs quite another. Plenty of ideas but this is only the scond photograph for a series.
This one was inspired by the way I folded and carried the paper from the Newsagents shop this morning.
I was tempted to convert to B&W but decided that if I did I would lose the 'thin blue line'.
