A black & white, macrophoto of three, metal links, welded together to form a strong connection. The capture accompanies a paraphased poem/saying/quote/slogan used widely for inspiration by an unknown author, in support of human connection - with added words by Vox for the Bluesky Challenge "Image & Verse." 📷 Ni Ru in Krakow Am See, Germany. 01.18.26

macro black and white image of a sliced open nautilus shell from a side angle. the outer edge of the shell is broken, so you can see into it and you can see the spiral across the top of the plane of the shell because of the angle of shot. #naturephptography #naturamacro #mondaymacro #macro #nikon #nikonmacro #audhd #actuallyautistic #adhd #autisticartist #autisticphotographer #shells #nautilus #goldenspiral #fibonacci #fibonaccisequence #spiral #patterns #lensculture #photobug #photographer #camera #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #digitalphotography #senses #synesthesia #sensoryoverload #monochromaticphotography #blackandwhitephotography #bnwphotography #bnw #monochromatic #blackandwhite

Eine S/W-Nahaufnahme zeigt ein Blatt einer Pfingstrose. Das Blatt zeigt ausgeprägte Blattadern und ist teilweise eingerollt. Die Oberfläche wirkt leicht gewellt und an einigen Stellen trocken. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Blätter und unscharfe Strukturen zu erkennen.

This handsome babe was scuttling around my kitchen one morning so I quickly photographed and carried them to a safe place outdoors. Phileurus valgus, a member of the Rhinoceros Beetle fam.

Black beetle on a white background–– a macro image. The beetle is large and takes up most of the frame. It's sporting a hard, shiny shell; wing coverings have a nice corrugated texture; the legs are spiky and built for rough terrain.

'Sponged Down'

An early dusting of snow creates a microcosmic landscape of shadowy mountain ranges.

Or is it just torn sponge?

Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍🌨

This black-and-white photograph captures the intricate, textured surface of snow in extreme close-up, revealing a chaotic landscape of light and shadow. The composition is an abstract study of contrast, where the absence of colour directs all focus toward the physical form and the play of light across frozen crystals. The snow is not a smooth, uniform blanket; instead, it is pockmarked with countless small craters, ridges, and depressions that give it a rugged, topographical appearance reminiscent of a moonscape or a stormy sea frozen in time. In the upper portions of the frame, the lighting appears more diffused, yet it still catches the edges of crystalline clusters, creating a shimmering effect. As the eye moves toward the centre and lower sections, the shadows deepen, carved out by an angled light source that emphasises the three-dimensional nature of the drifts. These shadows are deep charcoal and black, sharply defined against the brilliant, overexposed whites where the sun hits the surface directly. The texture varies from fine, granular grains that look like coarse salt to larger, more cohesive clumps that suggest melting and refreezing. Small, needle-like highlights glint across the mid-ground, suggesting the presence of individual ice crystals reflecting light back at the lens. The overall depth of field is shallow enough that the very edges of the frame lose some sharpness, drawing the viewer’s gaze into the complex, central tangle of frozen peaks. There is a sense of cold stillness, yet the jaggedness of the formations conveys a restless energy. The absence of any scale-providing objects makes the scene feel both microscopic and vast. Every ridge tells a story of wind patterns and temperature shifts, transformed here into a high-contrast tapestry of monochromatic intensity. It is a harsh, beautiful view of winter’s foundational element, stripped of its usual softness and presented as a complex, architectural marvel of nature.

In black and white it is much harder to tell what this is 😀. See the thread for the color shot and it will be more obvious.

A black and white photograph of Powers Creek flowing over rocks and boulders. It captures the natural beauty and serenity of a flowing stream in a natural setting. The photograph uses a long exposure to create a smooth, flowing effect for the water. Large, moss-covered boulders and grass are visible in the foreground.

A black and white close-up shows a large insect, known in this little world as the crane fly, resting in the corner of a tiled wall. The creature has a slender body, distinct horizontal wings, and extremely long spindly legs that splay out across the marbled texture of the tiles. A dark vertical grout line runs behind the insect where the two walls meet. 361eb04d-ed6d-4d9b-93d6-338eb921664b

"One Gross Bug"

A Water Scorpion chased out of the swimming pool, pausing on the wall just long enough to be seen.

#BNWMacro #JanuArty2026 #Insect #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #Photography #Leica #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited
A black-and-white macro photograph of a water scorpion clinging to a rough, stucco-textured wall. The insect is seen from above, its elongated, leaf-shaped body tapering toward the head and extending into a long, needle-thin breathing siphon trailing straight downward. Six slender legs angle outward at sharp joints, gripping the uneven surface, while short, curved antennae frame the head. The wall is pale and heavily pitted, its granular texture rendered in soft grays that contrast strongly with the dark, matte body of the insect. Removed from a swimming pool and briefly stranded, the insect appears suspended between elements—no longer in water, not yet gone. The image holds that pause: a moment of exposure, adaptation, and quiet persistence before life continues elsewhere.
