When I first saw this I thought it was someone spraying live, somewhat in the style of deuce 7, but when I looked closer I saw that it was a paste-up on translucent paper. I think this one looks a bit like the robot from Metropolis.

This weekend (April 16/17) the tulips were at their best in the Bollenstreek area. Bright colors everywhere!

Best if viewed in LARGE.

I thought I would get away from buildings for a while.

A short intermezzo from my "Denver to Seattle" uploads for a macro shot of an European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) from my own backyard.

In about a half hour I took 120 shots of different spiders. After severe selection, only 6 were kept. Not easy to get the focus on the tiny eyes!

These images are all about playing with translucency. The leaf has been placed on a piece of glass put between two tressles. A soft box is used to illuminate the leaf from below, with metering for the light, not the leaf.

I have had a lot of fun with these and will now try a few different scenarios.
