Black and white image of a cat lying in the sunshine, backlighting her long, soft hair and whiskers. She is lying on her stomach and looking pensive. There is a slight soft focus, creating a warm, dreamy glow all around.

It all depends on your point of view... #BNWmacro There was a big thunderstorm last night, and misty high humidity this morning. Flying ants everywhere... This spider had a windfall. More in thread. #photography #macro #highkey #ClassicMono #art #poignant #arthropods #spider #ant #EastCoastKin /1

A spider sits in a web that's invisible against the bright sky, surrounded by the bodies and shed wings of flying ants that have blundered into its web during their swarming. The trapped wings are very poignant, sadly beautiful.

Spathe and spadix of Monstera deliciosa Not sure which I prefer... #ColorADay #GreenSat #BNWMacro #ClassicMono #photography #plants #flowering #EastCoastKin

The protective sheath (spathe) of the currently flowering fruiting body (spadix) of the edible Monstera deliciosa plant. Once it has flowered the spathe closes around the growing fruit, which can take up to a year to ripen.

#BNWmacro, and a close view of a pond skater. The world reflected in the surface tension spots where insect meets water. #Photography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin

A black and white shot of a pond skater on the surface of a pond. the surrounding trees and sky refelcted in each pot where leg meets water. Some pond weed also around the back left leg.

A bit of #bnwmacro to kick off the weekend. (It's 3 mins past midnight, it counts…)

Someone used my Lamy Safari at a workshop and bent the nib. Replaced it with an extra fine and loving it.

Decided to have a little camera fun while I was at it.

#Photography #EastCoastKin #Macro #ClassicMono

A close-up black-and-white photograph of a fountain pen’s pointed nib poised beside a blurred patch of ink on the surface of a white paper towel. The nib, bearing the fine text "EF LAMY," is in sharp focus on the right, while the ink spot and textured grid of the towel appear softly out of focus in the background. Light reflects off the shiny, dark metal of the nib, contrasting with the matte, fibrous texture of the absorbent towel below. The composition places the nib partially over the towel, suggesting the origin of the ink marks captured in the previous images.

A black-and-white macro photograph showing a textured patch of dark ink absorbed into the surface of a white paper towel. The ink splotch appears irregular in shape, stretching diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, with frayed and fuzzy edges as the ink is wicked into the surrounding paper fibers. The extreme close-up captures the woven, dimpled structure of the towel’s fibers, some soaking up the ink and others remaining crisp and white. The lighting is soft and diffuse, highlighting the contrast between the deep black ink and the delicate grid-like pattern of the towel. The composition draws focus to the intersection of ink and fiber, revealing the micro-texture created by the ink’s interaction with the absorbent material.

A monochrome macro shot of a circular black ink blot absorbed into a white paper towel, filling most of the frame with its irregular, fuzzy edges. Beneath the ink, the paper towel’s fine woven pattern remains visible, with the ink soaking into the fibers and softening the texture toward the edges. Light falls gently across the scene, revealing both the density of the central ink mass and the subtle gradient where the ink feathers into untouched towel. The background highlights the sculptural quality of the towel’s surface, with raised threads accentuated by the dramatic focus and side-lighting.

A black-and-white macro image of a bold, round splotch of black ink settled into the woven surface of a paper towel. The ink forms an almost perfect circle near the center, its edges feathered outward as it seeps into the towel’s porous texture. Fibers around the ink show fine, subtle detail, with the grid-like weave pattern providing a tactile backdrop. Soft, even lighting accentuates the difference between the saturated ink spot, dense and glossy, and the surrounding dry, matte paper towel. The edges of the ink mark create a delicate transition from black to gray, hinting at slight absorption and capillary spread within the towel.

#BNWMacro, and just lucky that the 50mm lens I had on the X-T5 to get some landscape shots on thw walk, is also a Macro - so when this Pacific Gopher Snake crossed my path I was ready! #Snake 🐍 #ClassicMono #Photography
