Internals Of A Sphygmomanometer (Blood Pressure Gauge)

[zkogut]

Hi Everybody,

So today at work I had to calibrate a bunch of blood pressure cuffs (Sphygmomanometers). I took one of the dials off to show the internal workings which look pretty neat like the internals of a wrist watch. Anyways, I figured I'd share a macro photo of it that I just took. Am I insane, or is this pretty neat up close?

"Sphygmomanometer" words like that should be outlawed. Call the Word Police

However, nice image!

Hi Zak The books about 'light' says that it is difficult to shoot metal. I'm not an expert about shooting metal and macro but light in your image seems good to me. Reducing the highlights in very bright areas at the upper right and lower left of the device might help. I really wonder what the experts will say about the image

A good subject Zak and not handled too bad as I assume you did not have access to good lighting and diffusion.

I held my sb600 speed light off to the side with a home made diffuser over top of it.

No, you're not insane and yes, it is pretty cool close up.
Keep those mechanical things coming Zak.
I'll post a few of my own if I get brave enough.

An intriguing picture. I wonder how many people could have identified it from the pic? And I include people who use them!
