            Happy 20th Birthday, Flickr :)

Thank you so much, dear Flickr Team, for choosing my photo as one of the winners. I didn't expect this at all, and I appreciate it so much! 😊🙏

A subject I have already photographed two times for Macro Mondays: reflective fabric. Reflective fabric, tape, or (adhesive) foil is used for all kinds of gear or clothes to enhance security at night or generally in dark conditions. To achieve the reflective effect, super tiny micro glass beads are embedded/incorporated into the fabric. Sometimes, a top layer of foil is added for colouration. 

I was curious to see how much magnification I could achieve with the Laowa Ultra Macro lens. But the beads are so teeny-tiny that I had to add the 10mm extension tube and use my camera's High-res mode for maximum magnification and a resolution high enough so I was able to crop in the image quite considerably in post to really make the beads clearly visible and also still retain all the details. 

And since it's Flickr's birthday, I thought I'd use my makeshift colour filters to add the Flickr colors. For this, I used a blue semi-transparent plastic lid (a new addition to my colour filter collection; placed in front of an LED lamp from the left) of a tin that recently still contained quite deliciously spiced-up cashews (now all gone), and the trusted, pinkish-red, transparent chocolate box lid which I held against my natural light photo lamp (light from above).

HMM, Everyone! I'm very busy today and will catch up with you tonight!
