Crowns of Cooking

             
 #MacroMondays
 #Spiky

These are the tiniest "spikes" on my miniature kitchen grater, just about 3 mm (0.11 inches) wide each. I also liked that these tiny spikes look like crowns, and I assume they are meant for grating spices like nutmeg. The grater has four sides, each with differently sized grating and slicing options. 

While I bought this for photography (and because it looks cute), I also had plans for using it in the kitchen for its designated purposes, but found it hard to handle due to its tiny handle and small sides. So, for finger-saving reasons, it stays out of the kitchen.

To get extra close, I mounted the Laowa 50 mm 2x Ultra Macro, so it's a single shot (at F2.8 for extra bokeh). To illustrate the potential dangers of working with such a tiny grater, I equipped the right LED Lamp with the transparent red chocolate box lid (and because red and green always look good together). On the left lamp, I used a blue glass jar for a hint of blue. The green blur in the foreground is the grater's tiny handle. 

I am busy today and will catch up with you later.

HMM, Everyone!
