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.

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.

Small, growing in my garden. Every part of this young plant is translucent. Lots of photosynthesis going on!

I wasn't sure if I have anything translucent for today's theme. So while picking up some stuff at the mall, I went to Diaso and fragrance bottle at SGD 2.18 for photo taking :)

I place the bottle lying down sideways and placed a few LED bulbs behind to create this.

I shot this image in an Irish cornfield....I loved its' translucent beauty and the fact that it was blowing in the breeze.

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.

Best in XXL!

This is a translucent slice of a geode. I've always loved geodes... what's not to love? I thought the colors on this one were rather magnificent.

This is for "T" for Alphabet Fun Month!

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.

Always try to make eye contact, they say. I think I nailed it here...

Manipontonia psamathe is a species of pontoniine shrimp in the family Palaemonidae, commonly known as the translucent gorgonian shrimp or black coral shrimp, characterized by its small size—reaching up to 2.5 cm in length—and its translucent body adapted for life in coral reef environments. The coloration of M. psamathe is predominantly translucent, enhancing camouflage among the branching structures of gorgonian corals, with two distinct red lines running along the carapace and abdomen for subtle patterning.

I like the way the shadows make the water translucent rather than reflective.

Looked up, saw flowers blooming a bit above eye level, and took a quick shot.
