back yard photography. if you take translucent flowers for granted, try making one from scratch. ;-) Thanks everyone!
Just happened to see this fellow while I was waiting to shoot the sunset. Couldn’t stop my curiosity how translucent this damselfly is! Don’t get bored on my back lighting obsession yet.
Cropped to position rose better. Then used normal oil painting effect at 75%. Finished with a fine yellow-orange border. Located in front yard of my next door neighbor. Shot May 14th on a warm, sunny day around 4 pm.
For this week's #Macromonday submission for the theme #translucent, I decided to shine a little light on the unassuming lemon slice. I dressed it up a little bit with some oil and water to give it a little "pizzaz" and backlit with my remote speedlight and CTO gel.

New serie of Hummingbirds.
Using the sun as a strong backlight and two flashes with a reflector as fill light.
The black background is set in an angle in order no to interfere with the back light.
The normal sync speed is 1/250 sec in this case is 1/160 sec with an aperture of F/5.6 and a lens of 70-200mm
Hope you like it!!!!

Light glows thorugh the petals of a spring blossom.
The scale of my usual photograph subjects generally ranges between the whole landscape and something smaller but still larger… than I am. But Patty, the other photographer in the household, has made a specialty of photographing vey small things, often flowers, and often so close that we see details rather than the whole thing. I suppose that this was bound to rub off, and I just realized that I have a series of such photographs on my desktop ready to post.
I made this photograph on one of our periodic forays to a large garden on the San Francisco Peninsula. At first I wasn’t thrilled with the light — we were expecting some lingering fog and soft light, but instead the sun was out. But I found that if I got in really close to some of these flowers that were in just the right light… it was possible to find that “less than all of it” perspective on them.

A tea candle shot through the bowl of a Ruby Hock. The bowl is 3 1/2 inches so I cropped in on the candle at 1 1/4. The entire frame is about 2 inches. Translucent pretty colors. HMM ;-)
Created for Skagitrenée for her birthday, Dec 27.
Renée is the 'silent partner' that is the rock and foundation of the 'Totality of Reality' and "PANO-Vision" groups run by Maestro Paul Ewing and myself. She's our 'go to' when we need to make technical changes that neither of us know how to do. She is, as well, a sober and crystal clear voice of wisdom and experience. When the boys get a little rambunctious, she calms us down with her insight and honesty.
Renée has often shied away from birthday images, preferring to let the day pass unnoticed. She has done so much for Paul and I that this year we were not going to let another birthday get by us. I thought that an image honouring her love of flowers and plants would be the best way for me to homage her.
So here you are, Renée !!! Created and designed with you, very particularly, in mind. A VERY HAPPY Birthday !!!!!!

Pano-Sabotage shots of plants and flowers, most from the same location, but from different angles. These were blended with a few straight floral shots with stellated mirroring and layering of translucencies ( "glazing" ) added.
This is the last image of 2018. A birthday image in thanks to a very important person is a fine way to close up the year. :-)

My mother apparently used to walk for hours along a smooth Atlantic Coast beach. I inherited some of her translucent tiny shells. Here’s to you, mum.
These fill a container about 4 cm/1.57 inches across. See previous photo or first comment for measurement.
Thank you for looking, and for your faves and comments.
