Macro Monday - Texture & Focus

 Pic-of-The-day - "Macro Monday - Texture & Focus".
Some craziness playing around with the 72mm flip (optic) from my cinevate cyclops*.   It took a surprisingly long time to get this shot. The 72mm flip allows/requires you to get really close to the subject, but at that distance auto focus wasn't working.   Every time I got the focus right a breeze would move the plant & I'd be right back to square one.

*The Cyclops is a view finder that enlargers the LCD image for easier view & help with critical focus. The 72mm flip is the optical element that enlarges the image. It can also be removed and threaded on to a lens to get a macro effect.

Pic Of the Day - Macro Monday - Melt (#1?)

Melt (#1?)

Today's Macro Monday photo is a bit out of place as we are once again in a deep freeze at the moment.

The interesting shapes of melting snow always catch my eye.
Some times you get little microcosms that echo the larger melting events happening all around.

It's titled 'Melt (#1?)' because there will probably be more photos in the same vein when the snow & ice once again begin to melt.

Happy Monday.

Pic Of the Day - Macro Monday - Film

Film

Today is the first installment of something new 'Macro Monday', it won't be every Monday. It's more like a semi-regular post.

Today's Macro Monday is of an old wind up 8mm movie camera that sits on my desk at work.
