For this week's #Macromonday submission for the theme #translucent, I decided to shine a little light on the unassuming lemon slice. I dressed it up a little bit with some oil and water to give it a little "pizzaz" and backlit with my remote speedlight and CTO gel.
EXPLORE: Front Page, june 25, 2009.
New serie of Hummingbirds.
Using the sun as a strong backlight and two flashes with a reflector as fill light.
The black background is set in an angle in order no to interfere with the back light.
The normal sync speed is 1/250 sec in this case is 1/160 sec with an aperture of F/5.6 and a lens of 70-200mm
Hope you like it!!!!

Fancy some early ESC?
This is the second MM appearance of my Schleich Mini Eldrador "dragon snake" figure. The first one was for "Ficticious" in October '23. It wasn't easy to convince the proud fire creature to let me put it into a small kitchen container, get itself doused in water, and, the possibly worst thing: spend the night and half of Sunday in the freezer. But Bertie Wanda's shining example (and Flickr fame) were very convincing, so it played along. Not without hissing at me "Just wait what will happen to your freezer tonight. You might find it molten to pieces tomorrow!" before I closed the freezer door. No such thing happened, luckily, and when I took the tiny dragon snake out of the freezer, it told me: "I spent the night doing some internet research on ice baths and their health benefits. With all my inner fire, it was quite a refreshing experience." Such dignity... ;)
The image is a single shot, handheld even, to get the right angle. During the freezing process, the small figurine drifted towards the upper edge of the small container, and even though translucent, I didn't want to have it in the image. I also tried some focus stacking but the camera gave me an error several times. The half-frozen dragon snake with the bright ice texture layer on top was probably still a little too diffuse for autofocus to catch on properly during the stacking process. I could have combined the images in Helicon Focus, but liked this single image and thought that it was sharp enough. I hope you agree.
Illuminated from above with my natural light photo LED lamp, and slightly from the left/front with my LED Lenser flashlight set on "spot" to highlight the dragon snake's face and some of the ice texture.
HMM, Everyone! I'm very busy today and hope I can catch up with you tonight!
Crocoite

Crocoite is a mineral consisting of lead chromate, PbCrO4, and crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system. It is identical in composition with the artificial product chrome yellow used as a paint pigment.
Crocoite is commonly found as large, well-developed prismatic adamantine crystals, although in many cases are poorly terminated. Crystals are of a bright hyacinth-red color, translucent, and have an adamantine to vitreous luster. On exposure to UV light some of the translucency and brilliancy is lost. The streak is orange-yellow; Mohs hardness is 2.5–3; and the specific gravity is 6.0.

Some translucent objects like mat glass, bugle (tiny transparent jar is just a container for them :)), stones etc. on the translucent paper
A further investigation of translucency. These freesia petals were taken behind blue stained glass mainly.
I shot this image in an Irish cornfield....I loved its' translucent beauty and the fact that it was blowing in the breeze.
My mother apparently used to walk for hours along a smooth Atlantic Coast beach. I inherited some of her translucent tiny shells. Here’s to you, mum.
These fill a container about 4 cm/1.57 inches across. See previous photo or first comment for measurement.
Thank you for looking, and for your faves and comments.
Macro Monday theme today is translucent. This is the base of a small stubby screwdriver. It used to belong to my dad. I keep it with my photographic stuff as it's perfect for tightening the screw of those quick release plates. HMM!
