082: Beach Brick Biscuit

A little fragment of brick found on the beach at Torbay. Its accompanying stony mortar almost makes it resemble two-thirds of a biscuit sandwich, albeit one washed smooth by decades of sand and surf.
I doubt any biscuit is that resilient.

Settings: f/5.6, 1/180, ISO 100, 50mm M42, 17mm extension, 1/4 bounce flash, glass base, white relflectors at both sides, top and under glass.

069: Frost-Crumbled Brick

Leave a decrepit old brick outside in the winter and ice cracks it up handily. It's a good example of how stiff, bare soil gets loosened by frosts. I can just brush the breadcrumb-like bits off when I'm done; there may be little left of this brick in a few years if we keep having winters like the last one.
The algae and moss adds some bonus detail, as do a few seeds stuck to the side. I tried some shots of only the top area of broken bits, but chose this side shot as I like the difference of the destroyed top and smooth side areas.

Settings: f/16, 1/180, ISO 200, 50mm, 10mm ring, 1/4 flash, foil & white reflectors.
