Jelly Fruits 001 Series

 

A captivating visual exploration titled "Jelly Fruits 001," where the organic forms of nature meet a surreal, gelatinous reality. This series features a variety of fruits—including apples, strawberries, grapes, and pineapples—rendered with a hyper-realistic, translucent texture that mimics jelly or polished resin. The vibrant, saturated colors glow from within as light passes through their semi-transparent bodies, often accompanied by fluid, melting drips that pool elegantly on a clean, minimalist white surface. Each piece balances the familiar shape of a fruit with an otherworldly, squishy aesthetic, highlighting the intricate details of seeds, rinds, and stems through a lens of artistic liquefaction and high-key studio lighting.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

I bought a new camera. Finally.

More coming soon on my website!

I just took the shot underneath and saw light shine through which clearly showed the veins in each petals.

Lego monochrome figures. They look cool but do not know much about them except these all have the Lego logo on their various pieces.

Haven't taken much photo of Maggie since I gave her a new face.

 

I really like her in this black dress. Don't who made it, but it was a gift from dear Laura. Thank you Laura:)

 

I really love the translucent face, how her tone changes against different lighting.

Sea glass (mixed collection) — weathered fragments of man-made glass (bottles, tableware, industrial glass)

 

Confidence: High

 

Description

Overall scene

A dense pile of multi-colored sea glass fragments

 

Likely arranged for macro / focus-stacked still life

 

Background: dark, slightly reflective surface with scratches (possibly acrylic or glass)

 

A. Sea glass (primary subject)

 

What it is

 

Originally broken glass objects (bottles, jars, tableware)

 

Transformed by long-term wave action + chemical weathering

 

Sea glass forms when glass fragments are tumbled for decades, smoothing edges and creating a frosted surface

 

Surface characteristics (clearly visible here)

Frosted / matte finish (light-scattering surface)

Rounded edges — no sharp corners

Micro-pitting / “sugary” texture

 

Some pieces show:

Internal bubbles

Thickness variations

Slight translucency to opacity

 

This frosting comes from abrasion plus chemical leaching of glass components in seawater

 

Shapes

Irregular shards (typical)

 

Some flat pieces → likely window glass or plate glass

 

Thick chunks → older bottles or industrial glass

 

Rounded pebble-like pieces → heavily weathered (older)

 

Colors (with likely origins)

 

Common

 

White / clear → windows, bottles

Green → beer/wine bottles

Brown / amber → beer, medicine bottles

 

Less common (present here)

 

Blue → medicine bottles, soda bottles

Aqua / teal → older glassware, insulators

Purple → manganese-treated glass altered by sunlight

Red → tail lights, decorative glass (rare)

 

Color distribution aligns with known sources of historic glass waste

 

Notable pieces in this image

Large red shards (foreground right):

 

Thick, flat → likely tableware or signal glass

 

Red is relatively uncommon → higher collector value

 

Bright green elongated piece (top right):

 

Bottle fragment (modern glass)

 

Lavender/purple piece (center-left):

Likely originally clear glass altered by UV + manganese

 

Cobalt/blue rounded piece (center):

Typical of medicine or chemical containers

 

White/milk glass pieces:

Opaque → tableware or cosmetic containers

 

Optical qualities

Translucent diffusion of light

 

Internal glow in thinner pieces

 

Color saturation increases with backlighting

 

Age implications

Well-rounded + strongly frosted pieces:

Typically decades old (20–100+ years)

 

Sharper or glossier pieces:

Younger or less weathered

 

Composition (image analysis)

 

High-density arrangement (no negative space)

 

Strong color contrast (red, green, blue vs neutrals)

 

Emphasis on:

Texture

 

Edge quality

 

Color variety

 

Focus stacking:

Uniform sharpness across multiple depth planes

 

Key distinguishing features (real vs artificial)

 

This appears to be natural sea glass, based on:

 

Irregular shapes (not uniformly rounded)

Surface pitting variation

Mixed wear levels

Edge inconsistency

 

Artificial/tumbled glass is typically more uniform and lacks this variation.

...let the light shine trough yourself!

Sometimes the sunlight shines through Etta's ears and leg ... I've not been able to capture it so I thought I'd try with my phone.

It's a very horrible, wet, cold, grey day here! So being a bit creative ... not sure Etta appreciates my attempts :)

Daily Dog Challenge: Translucent

Cross section of a red stone, immersed in lemonade. Canon 580EX fired through the back of the stone on +3 to show up the pattern of the stone, while another flash is mounted on the camera and fired upwards onto a board to rim light the bubbles on the stone.

This was very much a snapshot. I was cleaning the lens on the camera sitting quietly in my living room when the light from the patio doors made the houseplant leaf come “alive” with green. Took the shot never really expecting to share it but, I have!

The north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog, taken from the Marin Headlands a little after sunrise.

 

I like the softness, the near-monotone look, and the way the top line of the bridge cables runs parallel to the lines of fog above and below. But I may be in the minority on this one - when I showed it to a buddy of mine, he winced and shook his head.
