Macro of a fountain pen nib. For any of you younger ones, we used to write on paper with these, and buy bottles of ink to fill them.…honest, it’s true…and spell check was done with a book, called a dictionary.
@ethelperry I completely agree Ethel and they're much nicer to write with too. When I was still marking umpteen student assignments I preferred to use a fountain pen, more legible writing and less RSI.
We caught the tail-end of writing with an ink pen, but with an ink refill attached to the pen, not out of a bottle. Never quite got the hang of it, somehow I always managed to make ink blotches on my papers... I like all your interesting macro photos :)!
