Macro of the etched design of a tealight candle holder. It was backlit by a diffused iPhone flashlight.
Macro Mondays
Translucent
In summer the woods becomes dense and opague. As leaves begin to fall, our eyes can penetrate further and further. Autumn foliage becomes translucent. The winter forest is transparent.
The distant canopy is dominated by sugar maples, turning shades of scarlet and gold early. The beech saplings closer to the camera change colour later, soft gold with a peachy blush.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Backlit foliage in the gardens of Villa Livia. The high Mediterranean sun highlights every vein of the leaf against a deep, cloudless sky.
While editing this shot of a plaster cast putto or cherub (contre-jour and, hence, translucent; Leica M8, Elmar 90/4) it occurred to me that translucency was the first step in the evolution of the eye. Our pre-Cambrian multicellular ancestors developed "eye spots" that allowed them to distinguish between dark and bright areas. And, if things went well, even to guess where the light came from. For many creatures this is enough to survive. Snails, for example, are still on this level. Photographers would not be happy with this. They want a lot more than translucency, namely transparence, to look through a lens and see clearly what is out there. The optical principle of the camera is mimicking our eyes - we (and lots of other creatures) have got "camera eyes". They are extremely useful. Guaranteeing survival they do not. Hundreds of species having camera eyes have perished. Snails are still going strong.
Caught this long freight train by chance around 3:00 a.m.
As soon as I heard the crossign's bells, took out my tripod, mounted the camera, and started shooting
Took this one as a long exposure shot (10 seconds)
Glamour is translucent - not transparent, not opaque. It invites
us into the world but it doesn't give us a complete clear picture.

A reel of 16mm film lit from behind with an LED flashlight positioned closely to create a spot of light, a change from my earlier backlit shots.
This color film has faded to a brownish-magenta hue. Curiously enough, the fading has no effect on the color of the light beam.
Storage box lid, well used, with transparent and translucent panels molded at different heights.

Haven't taken that many photos recently. I've been trying to watch more movies and books that I never opened after purchasing. Also working on finding more freelance jobs cause favs and views aren't paying bills (I wish that were the case tho...)
I "watched" this movie called 'Origin' but it was so mindnumpingly bad that I had to leave the theater after 45 minutes. A movie critic on RogerEberts website gave it a 4 out of 4 but the average movie-goer gave it 1-2 stars (I gave it 1/2 a star out of 5). I don't mind movies with a slow pace but this movie just had a terrible script.
For the Macro Mondays theme Translucent

A potential for MM - A translucent shot glass from my collection with a glass marble in the middle. Taken on the Tak 55 extended.
Interesting theme this week that had me wondering if Unilever are right to call their "Pears" soap "transparent" (rather than "translucent"). As far as I'm concerned, their description stamped on the product just doesn't wash with me! Anyway, I quite like the stuff - here lit from behind with a torch.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
