The real wonder in this image is that it is an optical illusion. Most people see the bright veins as being raised above the green between, but the veins are actually recessed. The backlighting at an angle to the surface and the translucence of the leaf create the illusion. Knowing that, some can make the transition of perception and see the recessed veins. Can you?

Macro Mondays ……. Theme " Remedy"

The daily routine of taking medication, taken from their blister packs,the macro highlights the subtle differences in size,shape and the alpha numeric identification in this assortment of tablets.

I am pleased to say the medication is not prescribed to me.

Thank you for your views, faves and comments very much appreciated.

A very warm walk around Warnham Nature Reserve yesterday, there weren't many birds brave enough to venture out into the heat so out came the macro lens!

There's not a great deal to photograph in our garden at the moment (we've got a big trip to the garden centre planned once lockdown ends), but on closer inspection these little guys were hard at work.

السوسة الزرقاء أو يوفولوس (الاسم العلمي Eupholus)، هي جنس من الخنافس من فصيلة السوسية الحقيقية، وجدت في بابوا غينيا الجديدة والجزر المجاورة لها. ويتميز هذه النوع بألوانه الرائعة، من الأزرق إلى الفيروزي، ومعظم حشرات السوسة الزرقاء يتغذى على أوراق اليام. قد يكون لونها بمثابة تحذير للحيوانات المفترسة على أنها كريه.

Eupholus is a genus of beetle in the family Curculionidae. The genus includes some of the most colourful of the weevils. The colour may serve as a warning to predators that they are distasteful. Most species feed upon yam leaves, some of which are toxic to other animals. The species occur in New Guinea and adjacent islands. This genus was described by French entomologist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Dechauffour de Boisduval in 1835.

An individual leaflet of Dyer's chamomile, Anthemis tinctoria 'Sauce Hollandaise' showing the breathing pores.

I chose a number of different leaves from the garden and found the macro highlights many details on the leaves that we just don't see. Amazing.

Macro image taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme: The Blues

HMM and Happy Blue Monday to everyone. Wishing you all a great week ahead.

had seen this one at my backyard , taken on late evening 07.00 pm.. still had plenty of light :)

We hope you all had an amazing Christmas, along with some downtime to get the camera out! We have been spending some time shooting pocket watches in our latest Youtube video. You can watch it here - youtu.be/MRS2BOdr9po

Many of you will recognise this little pocket watch from The Photography Show, we use it quite a lot to demonstrate the capabilities of the Adaptalux Studio. Reflective, detailed subjects like this can be tricky to light, so you need the flexibility that the Lighting Arms of the studio provide.

In this video, we spend some time looking at the differences between white Diffusers, Colour Filters and Lighting Arms. Adding colour to subjects like this can often be done more for fun than practicality, but there are some subtle tricks you can use to enhance even a "natural" looking shot.

For this shot, we went a little wild with the blue and red lights, but replacing those colours with white would be equally effective at showing off the engraved details of the watch. If you want to read a little more about how we set up the lighting for a shot like this, check out the blog post on our website - bit.ly/adaptaluxWatches

Saigon, Vietnam · Spring 2010

Pine cones are a quick and easy subject to shoot at home, so we thought we would take a look at how to get some cool and creative shots from a couple of pine cones in our latest tutorial video.

Watch it here - youtu.be/KyF3I8vjrNI

A lot of you may have seen the pine cone shot on our homepage, it's one of our favourite shots to demonstrate what the Adaptalux Studio can do. We used the same pine cone (and a new one) to get a few more interesting shots.

A shot like this is achieved by pointing two coloured Lighting Arms across each other, shining onto the pine cone. You can see more about the setup in the video or the blog post here - bit.ly/adaptaluxpines

The coloured lights shine off the spines of the pine cones really well. Depending on the angle of the camera and the lights, they can create some amazing highlights along the ridges of each spine and shadows deep in the pine cone where the light can't reach.

For this shot, we used an amber and blue Lighting Arm with a Diffuser to create a soft light in the front, with a harsh, almost fire-like glow coming from behind. Shooting along the length of the pine cone like this forces the background out of focus and makes the shot look even more surreal.

We think the addition of colour to a subject like this can really take your creativity to another level, what do you think to shooting pine cones in this style?
