Aluminium foil ball - Macro Mondays Single Use

I used to work with painting on glass, china, paper... I meant a creative job was always important to me.

 

In this new phase I feel the necessity of find some details to add to my photos. I'm discovering how amused is work with Photoshop, despite of doing only some things with it until now. So, sorry for the montages with questionable taste.

I used to be angry at my friend Doug for skipping rocks in Moraine Lake on an unreal day... I'm starting to change my mind on the subject haha. September 30th of last year remains one of my most memorable days for moments captured like this.

Photographed using a Tripod at a higher ground, during Oman's 45th National Day celebrations in November 2015. This is the way Oman Government decorates most of the main streets.

The house may look like a 19th century Italian palazzo, but in reality this house began as, and still is, a research institution and it was inaugurated in 1933 under the name Scuola Romena di Roma. The house is designed by the architect Petre Antonescu.

 

This is one of several institutes and academies, focusing on research in the humanities that can be found not just in Rome, but this part of Rome. The neighbours are Academia Belgica, Reale Istituto Neerlandese, Istituto Svedese di Studi Classici (where I was staying at the time), Accademia d’Egitto di Belle Arti and Accademia di Danimarca - and The British School at Rome is at a close distance (as are several others). But while most (if not all) of the other institutes have worked continuously as just that since their founding, the Romanian Academy has had a more diverse history. It was completely closed 1947-1969 and left to decay, and when it reopened it was as a Romanian library and culture centre. After 1989 it renamed itself Accademia di Romania a Roma and in 2005 it was re-admitted into the official organization for the foreign research institutes in Rome.

Golden Bridge - Puente Dorado

Los puentes tienen su origen en la misma prehistoria. Posiblemente el primer puente de la historia fue un árbol que usó un hombre prehistórico para conectar las dos orillas de un río. También utilizaron losas de piedra para arroyos pequeños cuando no había árboles cerca. Los siguientes puentes fueron arcos hechos con troncos o tablones y eventualmente con piedras, usando un soporte simple y colocando vigas transversales. La mayoría de estos primeros puentes eran muy pobremente construidos y raramente soportaban cargas pesadas.

 

The bridges have their origins in the prehistory. Possibly the first bridge of the story was a tree a prehistoric man who used to connect the two banks of a river. They also used stone slabs to small streams where there were no trees nearby. The following bridges bows were made of logs or planks and eventually stones, using a simple bracket and placing cross beams. Most of these early bridges were very poorly constructed and seldom bear heavy loads.

Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind that blows

From the north and south and east

 

Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas

Fish full of mercury

 

Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

 

Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh

Hey, things ain't what they used to be

What about this overcrowded land?

How much more abuse from man can she stand?

 

Oh, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, ooh, woo

I used a dark filter on this one found at Adobe's website it's called Albion. Several different low key filters it's fun! Shot at our local Butterfly Pavilion! (I used my Helios)

I always feel compelled to rescue on or two of these when the opportunity arises….Bettie than plastic perhaps, but still mad!

I used to live in the house on the right when I was very young. It was haunted... that or I was having a bad reaction to the Phenobarbital I was given for my seizures.

I use it almost every day. Adhesive tape to fix things that have come loose or should be held together. Very often I have already injured myself on this sharp edge. Luckily for this shot, I did not need to tear down anything, just provide the right light.

 

Fast jeden Tag benutze ich es. Klebeband, um Dinge zu befestigen, die sich gelöst haben oder zusammen gehalten werden sollen. Sehr oft habe ich mich an dieser scharfen Kante schon verletzt. Für diese Aufnahme brauchte ich zum Glück nichts abzureißen, sondern nur für das richtige Licht sorgen.

(The blue pillows are part of wedding preparations which were going on when we visited.)

 

The mosaics behind the altar is perhaps one of the most famous from late antiquity / early medieval there is - dating from the 5th century. It depicts Jesus in the middle in golden robes with the Torah in his hand. St Paul is to the left of him, and St Peter to the right. The twins Cosma and Damiano are standing behind them, one on each side (though it is impossible to tell who's who - they are depicted as identical twins). To the far right is St Theodore - and to the far left the founder of the church pope Felix IV, holding a model of the church. Felix is actually a reconstruction (but generally thought to be well done) since a later pope replaced him with a portrait of pope Gregory the Great(!). Felix was restored in the 17th century.

 

The church Santi Cosma e Damiano was founded in 527 by Theodore the Great when he and his daughter Amalasuntha donated two buildings to pope Felix IV - the buildings being the Temple of Romulus and the Temple of Peace, built by emperor Vespasian. These buildings are the foundation for this church. Today it is hard to see how it is possible - standing in the church you can, through a window, look down into the Romulus temple. But this is due to the in the early 17th century the floor in the church was raised with some 7 metres and a new entrance was made - and left the temple of Romulus back at (the old) ground level. The same renovation also added new side chapels and a new ceiling.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.

 

So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

You come walking 'round here

Acting like we're something

Then you up and disappear

And make it real clear

That we're nothing

I've been used

Damaged by you

Oh, I've been used, now I'm crying

By you, now I'm dying

'Cause I've been used

Guess I knew

'Cause that's what you do

Well, if love was just a crime

You would never do the time

Now, would ya

Could you love somebody else

The way you love yourself

If it suits ya

I've been used

Damaged by you

Oh, I've been used, now I'm crying

By you, now I'm dying

'Cause I've been used

Guess I knew

'Cause that's what you do

Well, I gave you what you asked

You gave…

We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark

A photo for today's Macro Mondays' theme "Single use", an Old Mout cider bottle top (highly recommend the kiwi & lime and pineapple & raspberry flavours; yum!).

 

When I decided to photograph this cap, I imagined a high-key, minimalist feel, but it seemed to fit a more grungy low-key-white feel.

 

I wonder if anyone photographs this type of shot in the same disorganized manner as I tend to do, with the set-up evolving in the most disorganized and amusing manner, and a huge mess of random 'props' to put away at the end of the shoot! This shot ended up involving a small piece of kitchen roll rolled up behind the bottle cap to balance it inside the white plastic toothbrush holder, which was precariously balanced on top of a random jar, lit by a head torch fastened to a tall bottle of olive oil, and I 'stabilized' my camera on a tin of biscuits!
