Chocolate mould

ah excellente idée originale

Merci beaucoup, Annaig!

Starkes Bild, Gudrun. Und ungewöhnlich im Gegenstand und Blick ! Sehr schön fürs Thema diese Woche !

Danke vielmals, Ui! Mein Draußen-Radius hat diese Woche irgendwie nicht so tollen Rost gebracht, also musste ich daheim suchen. War ein Stück Arbeit, das schwere Ding hervorzuholen;-)

How very interesting, Gudrun! I've never seen one like it. I love the row of alternate facing bunnies in the second PiP.

Thanks a lot, Amelia! It was a gift from my sister's mother-in-law who bought it on a flea market in Belgium or the Netherlands. I suspect it was used by a professional chocolatier in former times, the Belgian Neuhaus chocalatiers still sell easter eggs with such patterns.

Das sieht ja toll aus! Der Schärfenverlauf ist klasse.
Danke für die PiPs, in denen man sieht, worum es sich handelt.

Besten Dank, Susanne! Ich habe alles Mögiche auprobiert mit der Form:-)

Il sont très mignons ces moules judicieusement éclairés , mais la 1ere est top avec son bokeh

Merci beaucoup, Dan! I had a bit of fun trying different versions.

I love your macro capture of the mould as well as the other two PiPs, Gudrun! It may not be good for making candy with, but it is a great subject to capture from every angle!

Thank you so much, Val! When I got it I looked up how to get rid of the rust but I was afraid of handling acid or lye so I let it rust...

Interesting chocolate mould Gudrun. Shame you can't use it because of the rust. Love the lighting and colours in the second PIP.

Thank you, Graham! I did look up how to clean it but it seemed too much hassle so I just bought my chocolates;-)

Wonderful DOF!

Thanks a lot, Jan!

gut!

Vielen Dank, bk!

So that's how they put the crackle in the chocolate bars. :)

Thank you so much, Esther! I guess these days it's more automated;-)

Treasure of past times, very well shown!

Thanks a lot, Isabel!

Very striking. Inspired use of shallow depth-of-field and a beautifully framed photo, Gudrun.

Thank you so much, Roger! I got as close a possible.

What a fascinating series, Gudrun. I just love the golden sidelight on that one.

Thanks very much, Karen! The one with the golden light irritates me - the moulds look convex even though they are concave;-)

lovely dof and light

Thanks a lot, Wierd!

What a great piece to own Gudrun. It's beautiful! I have an old jelly mould in a similar condition.

Thanks very much, Rosa! I did look up how to make it useable again and shied back from the use of all that aggressive stuff with poisonous fumes;-) My old jelly moulds luckily are ceramic!

Great abstract with a lovely DoF.

Thank you, Diederik! With this lens you can close down the aperture and still get a very narrow DoF!

WOW WOW WOW!!! That's so cool I don't have the words! Never seen anything like it. Totally marvelous and what a fine subject for RUST! Great job, I loved all of your pictures! :)

Thanks a lot, Janet, much appreciated!

An interesting item for the challenge. I have never seen anything like this made of iron.

Thank you, pappy! I suppose these days it's all from silicone, at least for private consumers.

Ganz stark und wirklich sehr dekorativ.
