Planet Clingon - a photo on Flickriver

Planet Clingon

            Planet Clingon? Yes, that's right. Because, as has been recently discovered, there's a sister species of the Klingons. I assume the differences between the Klingons and the Clingons are pretty similar to those between the Vulcans and the Romulans. This means that the Clingons are peaceful, polite, kind, and generally super nice, extremely relaxed people. What you see is a solar storm rising behind their home world. Solar "storm" in the Clingon solar system means a warm, gentle, slightly fuzzy breeze because, well, everything in the Clingon world is a little fuzzy. A favourite chill-out activity of theirs is smoking "pod", a very healthy and nutritious plant that, as a most welcome side effect, gives you sunny, bright (and somewhat fuzzy) vibes. Peace, folks!

Late in the game with this "lucky last shot". Nothing I'd tried before had worked out. With almost every MM theme, I try to make my subject look "different" so you won't recognize at once what it is. But when this is exactly the task, I go "What? How do I do that? And what could I possibly photograph?!?" As usual :) This is a single shot of a cling foil/film roll, taken with the Laowa 50mm Ultra 2x macro at a magnification somewhere between 1.5:1 and 1.25:1. Processed in DXO PL7, Analog and Color Efex Pro.

Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
