I'm afraid this dragonfly may melt a little too much into the background. Part of its body contains dichroic dewdrops by my friend KellyK.

I like how the light passes through the sheer clothing.

I just love the colour on the back side of this mushroom.

Naked mole-rats have no fat under their skin and no hair on it, which means their skin is fairly translucent.

light through the dogwood leaves

Found these almost translucent mushrooms on the banks of a little river i walked this morning. They were actually hard to photograph as they were so white.

Bocas del Toro, Panama

Bocas del Toro (meaning "Mouth of the Bull") is a province of Panama. Its area is 4,643.9 square kilometers, comprising the mainland and nine main islands. The province consists of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Bahía Almirante (Almirante Bay), Laguna de Chiriquí (Chiriquí Lagoon), and adjacent mainland. The capital is the city of Bocas del Toro (or Bocas Town) on Isla Colón (Colón Island). Other major cities or towns include Almirante and Changuinola.

Christopher Columbus and his crew first visited the area in 1502. Bocas del Toro borders the Caribbean Sea to the north, Limón Province of Costa Rica to the west, Chiriquí Province to the south, and Ngöbe-Buglé Comarca to the east. The Río Sixaola forms part of the border with Costa Rica. An old railroad bridge spans the river between Guabito and Sixaola, Costa Rica. The bridge is a border crossing used by tourists going between destinations in Bocas del Toro and Costa Rica.

I looooove the tilt-neck licca! The only sucky thing is that the arms don't bend. But I loooove this color of mohair, it's such a deep gorgeous red.

Often flowers at Christmas - unusually late this year.

All back lighting.

Its been a while since my last self portrait so decided to be bold and brave with this one.

Landscapes are what i really like and havent ever been that into portraits but i have always fancied doing shots for bands mainly rock or metal bands and some of my favourtie images are from the old school punk/metal bands like "Madball" or "Agnostic Front" the slightly cheesey staged front covers with the members are the best!

That in mind id always wanted to use my garage to shoot and ran out whilst the dinner was cooking, so this was a bit rushed,..

I took one shot under exposed by -3 for the background which i further edited within Gimp 2.6

My second shot was taken with a flash exposure compensation of -2. I edited this in gimp as well and layered them together making my opacity just under half.

Id thought about adding text possibley "TRANSLUCENT" above my head but couldnt get it to look very good. not sure you can do anythign fancy in gimp with it, again any ideas or tips would be welcome.
