Tradescantia Nanouk (also known as "Fantasy Venice"). It is a fast-growing plant with colourful striped leaves that can glow when light shines through them, revealing their veins and vibrant colours.
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.
It's an Enoplognatha ovata spider, aka a candy-striped spider, that was so tiny that it was hard to see. Indeed, according to Wikipedia, it's body size is less than 1/4 inch long. It has "translucent legs and the globular abdomen is extremely variable in color and pattern." This one didn't have the red "candy stripes" that some have.

Small, growing in my garden. Every part of this young plant is translucent. Lots of photosynthesis going on!

Macro Mondays Theme: "TRANSLUCENT"
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo. Your faves and comments are greatly appreciated.
A small perfume bottle and a string of pearls. The potion of the bottle shown is 3" tall. The pattern in the glass makes it translucent rather than clear. The reflection of the pearls in the cap, was a happy accident.

Macro Mondays: Translucent
The image is just under 3 inches in width.
I wasn't sure if I have anything translucent for today's theme. So while picking up some stuff at the mall, I went to Diaso and fragrance bottle at SGD 2.18 for photo taking :)
I place the bottle lying down sideways and placed a few LED bulbs behind to create this.

I shot this image in an Irish cornfield....I loved its' translucent beauty and the fact that it was blowing in the breeze.
Macro Monday theme today is translucent. This is the base of a small stubby screwdriver. It used to belong to my dad. I keep it with my photographic stuff as it's perfect for tightening the screw of those quick release plates. HMM!
Some translucent objects like mat glass, bugle (tiny transparent jar is just a container for them :)), stones etc. on the translucent paper
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.

The first snowdrops catching the warmth of sunrise, their petals beaded with natural morning dew. Backlit by the rising sun, the light turns translucent white into soft gold, while the shallow depth of field lets the background melt away into gentle bokeh.
There’s something special about these early spring mornings — cold air, still ground, and that brief window when the light feels almost weightless.

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.

Always try to make eye contact, they say. I think I nailed it here...
Manipontonia psamathe is a species of pontoniine shrimp in the family Palaemonidae, commonly known as the translucent gorgonian shrimp or black coral shrimp, characterized by its small size—reaching up to 2.5 cm in length—and its translucent body adapted for life in coral reef environments. The coloration of M. psamathe is predominantly translucent, enhancing camouflage among the branching structures of gorgonian corals, with two distinct red lines running along the carapace and abdomen for subtle patterning.
