My glorious hollyhocks made it! - Thank You for getting them on EXPLORE - presently #308... must be quick to catch it.....
Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,--
Prodigal of blue,
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover's words.
(Emily Dickinson)
Taken for the Two Word Wednesdays group.
My translucent beauties really MUST be viewed on black and LARGE! Thank You, you won't regret it.

A Hover Fly licks the last of the pollen in late September.
The translucent wing really caught my attention right away.
Most of my macro shots are very heavy on the Aperture, around f/22+. This provides great depth and focus when you're close.
Lighting is always an issue when shooting with f/22+, but can be overcome with a simple flash extension like a small box (Kraft diner box) using foil to reflect light down on subject.
Hope somebody gives it a try if they've faced this problem before.

Her thin neck and translucent skin brake my reverie and I dig out my pen.
I search through all the faces
I wonder what thoughts are behind her green eyes as she looks then avoids mine ... Then looks again.
I travel in between spaces
But I can't avoid the rain , I can't defy gravity or stop you clogging up my brain.
Time passes over pages
Words dribble of the edge
Sentences implode before I get to the end

This baby black widow is only a day or two out of its egg case and is busy spinning a web. Nearly 100 babies emerged from Elvira's egg case and stayed grouped together until I put some small branches in the terrarium to stimulate web building. This youngster is bridging the gap between two twigs against a carpet of bright leaves lining the floor of the terrarium. She's so small that her legs are translucent, allowing the color of the background material to show through. What will someday be a flashy red hourglass is, at this young age, nothing more than a drab, beige shape on her abdomen. Elvira died a few years ago but not before laying eggs from a mating that must have occurred several months previously, in Texas.
Nikkor-H 85mm @ f/16, fitted with an Iscorama anamorphic lens (1968), with the objective from a Kiron 35-135mm zoom lens reverse mounted on the Isco. Nikon SB-20 flash bounced off foil covered reflectors. The Kiron objective is a difficult supplemental lens to work with, having an exceptionally curved field and a very short working distance of 2 inches when used with the 85mm and Iscorama.

Looking straight up to the underside of a 'Gunnera' leaf,..... layed on the ground to get this shot, the light filtering through the leaf was just how I saw it.
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.

The blossoms on all the flowering trees are so delicate and beautifully translucent in the light. And yet they can withstand the extreme temperature ranges of the season. In the past three weeks here in southern New England we've rollercoastered from just below freezing all the way up to 81F. Resilient little creations! Have a great weekend!
This beautiful figurine is made from what appears to be either jade or glass, as it is translucent.
Strobist info: To make it glow, I put a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and to the right of the subject at 1 o'clock. The strobe, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I held a silver reflector disc in front of the figure in an attempt to shed a little more light there. As you can see the colors vary depending on the thickness of the material.

A small group of shelf mushrooms on the Goodman Creek Trail, Oregon. Perhaps Pleurotus Ostreatus? If so, I should have chowed down!
Taken through a sheet of plastic smeared with butter.
The best of the three, smear-wise - with the least amount of butter - but unfortunately with lint from the paper towel I used to remove some of the butter.
Can’t say I liked any of them - but it was an interesting experiment.

Daily Dog Challenge - #5503 1/8 “Translucent”
This is a product of my topic exploring traditional Bahraini culture. Here, I was working from several primary photographs and this is the composition that I came up with. I aimed to combine shisha pipes and arabic flasks and simplify them down to shape and linear mark with the use of inks, acrylic paint, conti stick, bleach and coloured pencils over the top to bring back some definition to the objects whilst still leaving the majority of them quite translucent.
I've been asked a lot about the luminescent quality of the resin I use for my dolls and the secret is in its translucency. Human skin is not opaque and if we stand against direct sunlight the thin parts of our bodies, like ears, light up. I wanted to give my dolls the same quality and after a long search I did find a superb polyurethane resin that grants this effect. It's also stronger than regular resin so tiny parts, like separately sculpted fingers, don't break as easily as in opaque old school resins.
Inamorata dolls are now available for preorder in 5 skin tones: Milk, Latte, Caramel, Chocolate and Coffee; 5 different head sculpts and 2 bust sizes.
Order now and get a 100 usd preorder discount! I should get sample dolls for make up testing in end of May and the production takes place in June.

Standing under these dogwood trees yesterday, I felt like I had been transported to someplace like heaven -- they were simply glowing.
Another shot from the Rockefeller Chapel at The University of Chicago. Nothing fancy here. I can't wait to head back...I just ordered my Pentax 10-17mm fish-eye and can't wait to use it. And I think the UofC has tons to offer for the fish-eye.
"The Flickr Lounge" "Weekly Theme" Translucence
A late spring frost covered the car windshield with a layer of frost last night. I read the theme for this week, just in time to catch this shot before warming temps cleared the glass.
