Just happened to see this fellow while I was waiting to shoot the sunset. Couldn’t stop my curiosity how translucent this damselfly is! Don’t get bored on my back lighting obsession yet.
Cropped to position rose better. Then used normal oil painting effect at 75%. Finished with a fine yellow-orange border. Located in front yard of my next door neighbor. Shot May 14th on a warm, sunny day around 4 pm.
Have a happy new week！

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.

Light glows thorugh the petals of a spring blossom.
The scale of my usual photograph subjects generally ranges between the whole landscape and something smaller but still larger… than I am. But Patty, the other photographer in the household, has made a specialty of photographing vey small things, often flowers, and often so close that we see details rather than the whole thing. I suppose that this was bound to rub off, and I just realized that I have a series of such photographs on my desktop ready to post.
I made this photograph on one of our periodic forays to a large garden on the San Francisco Peninsula. At first I wasn’t thrilled with the light — we were expecting some lingering fog and soft light, but instead the sun was out. But I found that if I got in really close to some of these flowers that were in just the right light… it was possible to find that “less than all of it” perspective on them.

A tea candle shot through the bowl of a Ruby Hock. The bowl is 3 1/2 inches so I cropped in on the candle at 1 1/4. The entire frame is about 2 inches. Translucent pretty colors. HMM ;-)
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.
Some translucent objects like mat glass, bugle (tiny transparent jar is just a container for them :)), stones etc. on the translucent paper
