Translucent ... almost
I was originally trying this out for the next Macro Mondays group theme, Translucent, but then I realised I'd made a rookie mistake.
The main subject is a translucent milk glass button. It's standing in front of a Victorian bottle and a fluted glass perfume bottle, both of which are translucent. For good measure, they're all on top of a sheet of opaque perspex, which is itself (you've guessed it) translucent. I was feeling pleased with myself until I realised that the button had two things between it and the light ... so it didn't actually look translucent at all. Oops! Still, waste not, want not, as my mother used to say. :)
Apologies for being behind with commenting. Flickr was playing up so much yesterday that I gave up on it. I'll catch up tomorrow!
