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.
A further investigation of translucency. These freesia petals were taken behind blue stained glass mainly.
The wetlands are still slow except for the Swamp darners - long dragonflies that zip around us and head straight for our heads. They occasionally perch but usually in trees hanging from branches near the trunk - often in partial shade. This female was in small branches so I pulled one toward me and her branch didn't come ... so I stepped into the weeds farther and grabbed her branch and pulled her right up to me & was able to shoot her in SuperMacro. Every now and then you get a dragon this friendly - but she drew a line when I tried to pick her up!

I shot this image in an Irish cornfield....I loved its' translucent beauty and the fact that it was blowing in the breeze.

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.

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!
with its nictitating membrane covering the eye, it "is a translucent or opaque membrane found in birds that moves horizontally across the eye to protect and moisten it while maintaining vision. This structure is essential for birds, especially during activities like hunting or flying, as it helps shield their eyes from debris and moisture."

Macro Mondays Theme: "TRANSLUCENT"
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo. Your faves and comments are greatly appreciated.
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.

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.
