SSC - Black and White Macro Shot

I tried to fight the dust, but I did not prevail as you can see.

PiP1: Macro from our white telephone
PiP2: Making of
PiP3: Picture was shot with a Raynox Macroscopic Lens M-250: A one-size-fits-all-solution for DSLR, I bought it for 50 Euro.

Perfect subject for black and white photography! =D

Great shots. And that macro lens (magnifying lens) is just what I would like to find for Canon G5!

Thanks, Sami. Just have a look, there must be a similar lens for the G5. It is not a "real" macro-lens, though. Very hard to find the sharpness-point. I think it won´t be possible to make pictures of living objects.

Yes, that is the problem with simple magnifying glass approach. But try to turn that into advantage and find subjects and point of views where the shallow depth of field works. Although, that adds an extra challenge...

Ja, meine Liebste hat die beiden Telefonapparate (weiß und schwarz) mit Originalteilen repariert in die Ehe eingebracht und jetzt sind die Schmuckstücke begehrt. Freunde unserer Kinder fragen immer, ob sie es mal ausprobieren dürfen, damit zu wählen - sie kennen es eben nicht mehr.

Der Telekom-Mechaniker, der damals unseren DSL-Anschluss installiert hat, meinte, es sei unmöglich, das alte Analogtelefon weiter zu betreiben. Wir haben darauf bestanden und das hat seinen Ehrgeiz geweckt. Jetzt klingelt in jedem Stockwerk so ein altes Teil (im vierten das weiße, im dritten das schwarze). Leider lässt sich die Klingel nicht leise stellen und man kann mit dem Telefon nicht herumgehen. Nachteile, die man in Kauf nehmen muss.

Die werden von Generation zu Generation vererbt. Schwierig nur, sie bei den heutigen Telefongewohnheiten am Leben zu erhalten - lautes Klingeln, ortsfest, keine Wahlwiederholung, keine Rufnummernanzeige....trotzdem, als bloße Museumsstücke zu schade.

Wow. You certainly positioned your camera close. Love the phone too. It's good to know that gave the telecom engineer a challenge which he fulfilled as well as you have just done.

Yes, indeed, memories: When the loved one did not call back and I had to wait close to the phone in order not to miss the most important call in the world.

Super, diese alten Wählscheiben-Telefone! Der Ausschnitt im Hauptbild ist sehr gut gewählt.
Ich habe neulich erst mein analoges Tastentelefon entsorgt, aber das war eh häßlich;-)

Oh, this phone brings back memories ! My Dad used to work for Bell Laboratories in New York before transferring to North Carolina.
I remember it was such a big deal when we got one that wasn't black -- but couldn't tell you which color it was ( knowing my parents it was a conservative color ).
Thanks for the memories !

Peggy C club has added
Almost forgot -- we used to put heavy green tape on the bell to tone it down .. think Dad brought it home from work after he went to Western Electric.

Ruebenkraut club has replied to Peggy C club
That´s a good idea, Peggy. Usually, when we watch a TV show, grandma is calling (she is one of the few who do call on the landline phone) and the ringing bell annoys us very much.

Nice closeup! You said you tried to fight the dust - I have that same problem with macro shots like this. Just when I think I have the subject free from dust specks, on my computer monitor, it looks like I haven't cleaned the item in years! That's where I break out the clone tool to remove every speck that shows.
