... Sometimes it's the same, isn't it?
Macro Monday: #WhiteOnWhite
Last minute shot for the first MM theme of 2019, "White on White". I knew that I wanted to capture this porcelain swan, but I didn't quite know how... I almost gave up on it, took some photos with other items, when, all of a sudden, I had the last minute idea with the dark "Black Swan" shadow today (of course my "Redux" capture comes to mind..). Actually the porcelain swan is part of a tea egg / ball, but the strainer and small metal chain would have been in the way, so I removed them for the shot. I decided to leave all those small dust particles [the macro shock, each and every time ;-)], signs of use (or rather of not being used really often, that's why it looks so dusty) and the small metal ring the chain and strainer are attached to in the picture (a symbol for breaking the chains of - overcome - conventions?), because I think that they help to convey my idea behind this. Which is? Well, nobody's perfect, and we can't always be the good, positive, always nice and gentle white swan. Sometimes, if we want to get on, spread our wings, develop, grow, we need to bare our teeth, jump at an opportunity. By which I don't mean that we should act in a nasty, ugly or unfair way. I believe in politeness, friendliness, and fairplay. Unfortunately many others don't. So sometimes being (too) nice also means that we will be pushed aside, and we should not let that happen, either.
Technically not perfect, the shadow is not quite centered, but hey, it's Monday and I was running out of time ;-) Processed mostly in Luminar 3 (Accent-AI filter, removed colour cast, enhanced small and medium details) and ON1, where I applied a LUT filter ("Aachen", and used the blending mode "darken" in PS). Length of the porcelain swan: 4,5 cm / 1,77 inches
Weißer Schwan, schwarzer Schwan ...
... unterscheiden sich manchmal gar nicht so sehr, oder?
Ein Foto in allerletzter Minute, heute aufgenommen. Ich wusste zwar, dass ich diesen Porzellan-Schwan (Teil eines Tee-Eis) für das Weiß-auf-Weiß-Thema fotografieren wollte - aber nicht so recht, wie. Ich wollte schon fast die Segel streichen und habe nach anderen Objekten Ausschau gehalten, da kam mir die Idee mit dem "Schwarzer-Schwan-Schatten". Manchmal, wenn wir vorankommen wollen, uns entwickeln wollen, müssen wir eine Gelegenheit beim Schopfe ergreifen und können dabei nicht immer nur nett sein wie der stets herzensgute, selbstlose weiße Schwan. Das soll keineswegs als Lob der Ellbogen-Mentalität gemeint sein, die mir weder liegt und die ich auch überhaupt nicht schätze (viele andere aber eben leider schon). Im Gegenteil, ich schätze höfliche Umgangsformen, Freundlichkeit und Rücksichtnahme sehr und meistens kommt man so auch am allerbesten durch das Leben. Nur manchmal begegnet man Menschen, denen das herzlich egal ist und wenn man sich von solchen Leuten nicht unterbuttern lassen will, muss man halt manchmal auch Zähne zeigen.
Technisch mal wieder nicht perfekt, der Schatten hätte z.B. mittiger gekonnt, und mit Fokus-Stacking wäre wohl auch alles scharf geworden, aber ich war so spät dran heute... Entwickelt überwiegend in Luminar 3. mit dem Accent-AI-Filter, Detail-Verbesserung (klein und mittel), leichtem Nachschärfen und Entfernen des Farbstichs, in ON1 habe ich dann noch einen LUT-Filter ("Aachen") angewendet, den ich in PS mit Abdunkeln überblendet habe. Länge des Tee-Schwans: 4,5 cm

Burning Not Good Enough
My image this week explores my personal journey this year of banishing the "not good enough" voice that resides in my head. That damn voice dictates so much of who I am, what I do, and how I show up in the world. I actually have an appointment to see my therapist this week to start addressing the issue in earnest... and this image is a symbolic start to this process. I hope to share this very personal journey with all of you through my photography and my writing. What words would you burn? What does your inner voice say to you?
(FYI: this image didn't meet the requirements for the Macro Monday group, so I uploaded a different image.)
One white 80gsm sheet of A4 paper scored on each side to make concentric circles. A wedge has been cut out of the circle to make the hills and valleys.
My first photo submission to this Group for this week's Macro Mondays challenge. Just white paper was challenging but not impossible.

order from chaos
#plainwhitepaper #paper #macromondays #mm #hmm #orderfromchaos #withmytamron
Funny, I shot a white paper shot a few weeks back for the CORNER challenge...
Still, time for something new. "order from chaos" was not originally intended, yet it was a byproduct of trying different comps.
After shooting various rips and tears of white paper, I decided to "ball-up" some of the smaller discards and took a series of 18 shots. When culling my challenge work, "order from chaos" stood out immensely for me, and it was the first of those 18 shots---the other 17 shots seemed forced while "ofc" felt pure, natural. You know that feeling...
Another reason I am really fond of "ofc" is that the composition itself has minor flaws, namely a bit of camera shake from a hand-held photograph and a lower shutter speed. Why not use the expensive tripod and head I own, two reasons; I'm lazy but more importantly being mobile with my rig gives me freedom and flexibility to explore more artistic compositions. Lazy or artistic, it's your call...i do what I need to do. ;-)
Anyway, "order from chaos" was shot at MFD for a lifesize reproduction of 1:1, so this frame is 22mm on the longside by 15mm on the short side--the size of the EOS-M2 sensor.
Thanks for stopping by!

I had to buy special 16lb ultra-light weight paper to get each volume to be only 2.5 inches thick. Regular copier paper would have resulted in much heftier tomes. I bought special backing boards from Talas so that I could round and back these beasts. The rounding worked out pretty well, but I tightened my kettlestitches too much for the backing to work properly. I put in black headbands and did a spine lining using chalkboard cloth, with the "cloth" used on the larger portions of each cover actually being an expensive paper I got years ago from Paper Source off the racks where huge sheets are sold individually. Some people might say that a person who would create a paper version of a book on rationality was missing the point, but I would just smile at them and silently value sensuality.

About 5 x 7.5 inches. Little Bear on paper collage composed of many many pieces of "white" paper. A little color in these, which is not common for the white paper collage series I have in progress but have not posted. Most other pieces are larger and all various of white paper that is stained, foxed, dirtied, smudged, marked on, yellowed, worn, scratched, etc.

- Old picture. I have no time to go out and take pictures. Too much stuff is going on and I just don't have the time! I took this not too long ago so I thought i'd share it with all of you.
I hate not having a pro account. I keep telling myself that I'll ask my Dad to update it for me, but I ALWAYS forget or i'm ALWAYS busy. Maybe sometime this week i'll finally get it done.
I promise more interesting pictures will be posted soon.

Forgive me for repeating myself throughout each photograph but I'm not expecting you, the viewer, to look at each shot I have taken ... of course I would be delighted if you did.
I diagonally cut a small selection of white pieces of paper and fanned them out. What you see is the shots taken at various apertures, angles and direction of light. I found the simplicity effective and pleasing, I hope you do too? Thank you for taking the time to look at them.

Pressures on land - I recently contributed illustration for the DEFRA Natural Environment White Paper, which is launched today. DEFRA - The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is a government department in the UK. You can download the Natural Environment White Paper here
www.defra.gov.uk/environment/natural/whitepaper/
The Natural Environment White Paper is a bold and ambitious statement outlining the Government’s vision for the natural environment over the next 50 years, backed up with practical action to deliver that ambition.
Nature is sometimes taken for granted and undervalued. But people cannot flourish without the benefits and services our natural environment provides. A healthy, properly functioning natural environment is the foundation of sustained economic growth, prospering communities and personal wellbeing.

Near the entrance to Petrified Forest National Park, New Mexico, USA. I believe that this plant is a plane tree, although I am not certain of this. Any assistance in identification would be appreciated.
Carlos Manta Oliveira suggested that I crop the photo. This is the cropped version. Thanks!
"Why are photographers endlessly fascinated with capturing close-up and macro images? The answer is simple: the camera lets us go places we can't normally go and see things we can't normally see without it." - A. A. Katz, "H-Series White Paper, Chapter 12," "Close-up and Macro"
