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.
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 ;-)

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.

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.
