Es gab dort einiges für das Thema 'Two' zu finden, aber dieses seltsame, doppel'zahnige' Gebilde fand ich besonders spannend, weil es mich gleich an eine ungewöhnliche Bergformation erinnerte, wie man sie wohl nur auf einem außerirdischen Planeten vorfinden könnte.ĭas Foto ist ein Stacking bestehend aus 15 Fotos, die ich in Helicon Focus kombiniert habe (B, Radius 1, Smoothing 2). Die Vorderseite einer Hauptplatine erinnert ja oft an eine moderne Großstadt mit Wolkenkratzern und endlosem Straßenlabyrinth, aber fast noch interessanter finde ich die stachelige Rückseite mit den winzigen Lötstiften. Für das 'Two'-Thema hatte ich mir wieder die alte Hauptplatine, die ich mal bei einer Computerbude abgestaubt hatte, vorgeknöpft. Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, have a nice week ahead, and stay safe!ĭie faszinierendsten Welten offenbaren sich uns beim Blick durch ein Makroobjektiv, und es wird oft noch faszinierender, wenn wir das Makro mit Zwischenringen und einer Makro-Vorsatzlinse bestücken, um noch näher an das winzige Objekt der fotografischen Begierde heranzukommen. Lightsources were: soft LED light from above, two Swedish LED lamps (one shone through a green bottle from the left, the other, equipped with the yellow plastic bottle cap, from the right), and an LED flashlight from above which I'd stuck into my trusty blue tealight holder (handheld). The image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos which I've combined in Helicon Focus (B, Radius 1, Smoothing 2). These 'twin pins' that I've found Close To The Edge of the motherboard's backside reminded me of a strange mountain form, Twin Peaks with extremely steep slopes that one might find on an alien planet. Macros of a motherboard's front side often look like modern cities with skyscrapers and an endless maze of roads, but what I find even more interesting is a motherboard's backside with all those spiky (soldering) pins.

For the 'Two' theme I thought I'd take another look at the old motherboard that I'd once got for free at a computer shop. Things get even stranger when we use extension tubes and a close-up lens on top. The strangest worlds reveal themselves when we look at things through a macro lens. Final processing touches done in Analog Efex (Classic camera 7, general adjustments, vignette, and Film 'subtle', no grain). Image processed in DXO PL5 (sharpening, DeepPRIME denoising, micro and fine contrast adjustments).

The blue hue, which reminds me of our planet's stratosphere, is the last bit of daylight coming in through my living room window.

So I placed the small colander against a piece of cardboard with a shiny gold-coloured coating, held the transparent red chocolate box lid in front of the soft light LED lamp that provided light from above (and I'd placed one warm light LED lamp slightly behind the colander), and took a few photos from different angles. Since I also didn't have much time for the photo (which is not per se a bad thing) it had to be a simple set-up. Not the most original choice for 'mesh', I know, but I had photographed mesh fabrics for the previous mesh-related MM themes (please see the first comment, or my album, if you like), so this time it had to be something not so different different. The phenomenon is also known as 'bokeh rising'. The extremely holey atmosphere of planet Colander, here as seen from its moon Cullander, and its particular surface structure, cause an extreme scattering of the light particles which results in the optical illusion that not one, but thousands of suns are rising not only from behind, but also through the surface of planet Colander.
