A Hover Fly licks the last of the pollen in late September.
The translucent wing really caught my attention right away.
Most of my macro shots are very heavy on the Aperture, around f/22+. This provides great depth and focus when you're close.
Lighting is always an issue when shooting with f/22+, but can be overcome with a simple flash extension like a small box (Kraft diner box) using foil to reflect light down on subject.
Hope somebody gives it a try if they've faced this problem before.
There sadly comes a day, when you just won't pay

Colorful tennis player figure tinted in a stained glass window at the museum of the International Tennis Hall of Fame
Newport, Rhode Island, USA
The blossoms on all the flowering trees are so delicate and beautifully translucent in the light. And yet they can withstand the extreme temperature ranges of the season. In the past three weeks here in southern New England we've rollercoastered from just below freezing all the way up to 81F. Resilient little creations! Have a great weekend!
This beautiful figurine is made from what appears to be either jade or glass, as it is translucent.
Strobist info: To make it glow, I put a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and to the right of the subject at 1 o'clock. The strobe, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I held a silver reflector disc in front of the figure in an attempt to shed a little more light there. As you can see the colors vary depending on the thickness of the material.

A small group of shelf mushrooms on the Goodman Creek Trail, Oregon. Perhaps Pleurotus Ostreatus? If so, I should have chowed down!
I've been asked a lot about the luminescent quality of the resin I use for my dolls and the secret is in its translucency. Human skin is not opaque and if we stand against direct sunlight the thin parts of our bodies, like ears, light up. I wanted to give my dolls the same quality and after a long search I did find a superb polyurethane resin that grants this effect. It's also stronger than regular resin so tiny parts, like separately sculpted fingers, don't break as easily as in opaque old school resins.
Inamorata dolls are now available for preorder in 5 skin tones: Milk, Latte, Caramel, Chocolate and Coffee; 5 different head sculpts and 2 bust sizes.
Order now and get a 100 usd preorder discount! I should get sample dolls for make up testing in end of May and the production takes place in June.

Standing under these dogwood trees yesterday, I felt like I had been transported to someplace like heaven -- they were simply glowing.
I had never seen this one either. I know a lot of people LOVE it. It was ok, not my favorite, but sweet and cute.

The entire building is simply an airy, naturally ventilated shelter, with few lateral facades, topped by what from the outside appears a massive concrete slab. The inside reveals the roof as no more than a light, translucent grid.
"The Flickr Lounge" "Weekly Theme" Translucence
A late spring frost covered the car windshield with a layer of frost last night. I read the theme for this week, just in time to catch this shot before warming temps cleared the glass.
Deleted the previous post, sorry and thank you for your wishes :)
This is from archives, Split Hibiscus from my terrace. Missing flowers, leaves, butterflies, dragon-flies, insects and other green things.
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.

Window detail from a church in the old town area of Siegen, Germany. I'll have to do some more investigation to come up with the background.
'Light' always plays such an important role in how I choose to photograph things...I'm always Amazed at how it can enhance shape and re-define definition...Magically taking something ordinary and transform it into something 'Extraordinary' !~
Loved the wings on this bee. I find my problems with macro photography are (a) fighting the urge to crop the image or (b) moving in too close. I enjoy seeing pollinators doing what they do best: pollinating. Removing the flowers and focusing on the bee alone, while providing a cool image, isn't the whole story.
Worth a look in light box :)
A giant thank you to Jim (SARhounds) who put me on the right track for the plant ID!
