A bit of an obvious one for "Soap", and there are some similar entries for this week's theme.
What makes this one a little different is that I've waited for the sun to come out and shine through the bar of soap to make the logo glow with yellow light, and this type of lighting also has the effect of softening the detail - "soft soap" perhaps?
Shot with a Helios 44M lens at f/8 on about 2cm of extension tubes.
In post processing, I've "turned everything up to 11" to enhance the effect, cropped down to the logo and I've cloned out a few tiny blemishes.
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.
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 ;-)

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!!!!
Walls and fences are covered in these profound blue blossoms, the vines climbing and clambering, twisting and winding, anchoring themselves in place so they can produce even more of these glorious, translucent flowers.
The light catches its edges and curves, highlighting its veins and vessels, its golden, light-filled center and stamen. Ah, Sky Vine... what a perfect name!

Three tiny juvenile snails, fattening themselves up for overwintering. The leaf is backlit by sunshine so the translucent eye stalks allow the light to glow through.
The image shows a line-up of three snails/six eye stalks for Macro Mondays theme 'In a Row'.
It was W.C. Fields who said "Never work with children or animals." Perhaps he was referring specifically to snails?
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Wet translucent blue and green watercolors, gems and melting rusty metal using the Dreamland v3 style.
Thanks for taking a closer look!
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.
Monotropa uniflora
I took a while but after rummaging through my archives I finally found a decent capture of this translucent flower

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.

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!
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.
