Immature Chestmut-sided Warbler looking down its bill at me.... Kiwanis Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 20 August 2024
This is a dense, abstract composition of rounded translucent glass pieces photographed with strong transmitted light from below or behind.
That lighting makes the pieces glow like stained glass and separates the colors clearly.
Visible characteristics:
heavy use of red, cobalt blue, aqua, green, white, amber, yellow, and pale lavender
mostly rounded, softened edges
predominantly matte/frosted surfaces
a few pieces show pits, scars, and internal bubbles
the frame is packed edge to edge, so it reads more as pattern, color field, and texture than as individual specimens
Visually, it functions as both a specimen photograph and an abstract image.
Discussion
Sea glass forms when discarded glass is broken and then abraded over time by waves, sand, and salt water, which produces the softened edges and frosted surface collectors look for.
A few points relevant to this image:
The color range is unusual. Green, white, and brown are historically the most common sea glass colors, while colors such as red, yellow, orange, and some cobalt blues are treated by collectors as scarcer finds.
That does not prove rarity here. Because this is a curated pile rather than a documented beach find, the image reads more as a designed collection than evidence of naturally found rarity.
The photograph emphasizes luminosity over provenance.
Genuine beach glass is usually admired for its surf-worn history, but here the primary visual effect is the glow, color contrast, and overlapping translucent forms.
Compositionally, the image works because there is no dead space.
Large pale pieces stabilize the frame, while saturated reds and blues create visual anchors.
The amber-brown piece near center-right is especially effective because it breaks the dominant cool/red palette.
So: as an object study, this is about translucency, abrasion, color contrast, and accumulation.
In early morning along Wascan Creek West of Pasqua Street, i could see these white spots all over the grassy field. Looking through binoculars, i realized they were not new flowers, but Western White butterflies warming up before taking flight . Les Sherman Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 29 August 2023

Taken with a Canon 17-40mm f/4 reversed on a Canon 60D body.
It's amazing how a 10$ reverse ring adapter can improve your macro photography!

Focus stacking avec "Remote - Sony" et "B8Stack" ( 50 images en mode normal - 3 pas par image - cycle 1s ) et traitement avec "CombineZP" (mode Pyramid do stack retenu).
Sony A7M3 +Sony 90mm macro f2.8 1/50s ISO-500.
Nota: En extérieur le sujet doit être immobile, PAS DE VENT, évitez les définitions trop gourmandes , mes originaux de 24Mp (8Mo) font planter CombineZP, la bête étant partie je les ai donc recadrées en lot avec "Darktable". 10 images de plus pour l'abdomen auraient été nécessaires.
Voila ma première expérience avec cette technique.
My aperture is fixed at 2.2 on this phone. That means that in any given image, only a small portion of it will be in focus. Yesterday, using Photoshop, I focus stacked 12 images. As you can see, there are still blurry areas, and that's ok... my aim was not to get everything in focus, but more than I could with just one pic. It's not perfect. Haven't learned how to clean these things up yet. Enjoy.

Yesterday, I took a trip deep down into the Mountains of Kyoto Prefecture. A post from Jay Klaphake sparked my interest. It showed a picture of a field of Yuzen Chrysanthemum in the small village of Kuta. I've been in that area before, and I know it's pristine and beautiful.
I drove on NR 110 that runs past the Hisata River. Soon it will be the Obon holidays, and a nearby campsite was inundated with tents and campers enjoying the River. A little further is the village of Kuta and my destination. The Daiya River runs next to the tiny road, and some parents were fishing with their kids. Not so many people around, and guess what, "no masks". I suppose so deep into the countryside with no one around.

This is a mandible detail of a small ground beetle. Shot with Lomo 8x microscope objective and focus stacked

composed of 20 shots with the focus point gradually shifted backwards in PS
here the final result
This Photograph is focus stacked by image stacking software "Combine ZP". So the depth of focus is very deep.
Using focus bracketing feature of Olympus OM=D E-M5 mk 2,
27pictures were taken and stacked.
Some focus stacking again. Tamron 9 + Canon 25mm extension tube. Sorry about the cobweb.. but he was got from the inside edge of the bathroom window where he had obviously met his end :-( But stunning eyes up close. Makes me think of a world map!

Nikon D810, Reversed Nikon 24mm f/2.8 lens, f/8, ISO 200, 1/250th sec (high flash sync speed), Nikon SB-R200 dual flash, 18 images, Helicon Stack.
You may notice that this image is particularly close, even for a reversed 24mm, but I've opted to crop in to show the exoskeleton detail.

Bead and Cap. The cap was from a bottle of blush from Costco.
35 shot focus stack using the new macro lens. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get the black acrylic to render as silver - living the whole angle of incidence thing!
Milkweed Bug, probably Oncopeltus fasciatu.
Collected several weeks ago when the milkweed seedpods were getting ready to open. Shot at about 4x lifesized, Pentax K01 with reverse mounted SMC K 24mm f3.5 on extension. 130 exposures in 2 stacks, combined in Zerene Stacker.

Camellia'Yuletide" (Camellia sasanqua).the first to bloom. Arboretum, Dallas, Texas, USA. 8 February 2024
Street tree,
Morro Bay, California
The eucalypts (several genera including Eucalyptus) have flowers with a bud cap that opens as the flower develops. The bud cap is barely visible behind this bud. It eventually falls off as all those stamens burst out to resemble those from another flower in lower right.
