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.
Some translucent objects like mat glass, bugle (tiny transparent jar is just a container for them :)), stones etc. on the translucent paper

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.
Sotted these wavering reflections of trees - inspired by works I view from "Marylyn Jeans" - I loved the abstract feel of the image so decided to post my own. Thanks Marylyn!

I may of overlooked the 'not detailed' bit slightly.
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.

A sunny late afternoon with the light behind me, crouched under their birch trees - the "almost golden hour" sun really brought out his colors & iridescence; doubled my shutter speed & got a good look at his translucent wings (70-90 bps)!
