#Translucent
Say Hello to Horatio "Grumps" Rainbow, the grumpy knitting needle stopper bear. I wonder why he was so grumpy. He hasn't been on a knitting needle in ages, instead he enjoyed the sunshine on my window sill, because the sun makes his translucent plastic body shine so nicely. And unlike his same-sized brothers (2,5 cm / 0,98 inches from head to toe), the gummi bears, he isn't edible, either, so he won't ever share their, admittedly gruesome, fate. I should admit, though, that I ate a few of his brothers during the photoshoot (tangerine flavour, mmmmmmh, cranberry flavour, yummmm...) which probably was a little insensitive from my end... Grumps also needed considerable patience, since this has been my very first, ahem, professional portrait photoshoot ever. He had to adopt several poses (and wait endlessly while I arranged the lights): "Horatio, let's try another one head-on. You know, Michael Schoeller style" – "Yet anoth...grrrrmm, yes, Silke...", "No wait, maybe you look better from the side, turn slightly to the left, please!" - "Oooh Kaaay, Silke"; "No wait, I think right is better!" – "Are. We. Done. Yet?!?"; "OK, another one head-on, I think the light looks nicer!" – "Silke, we are still friends, aren't we?"... and so on, and so on. Well, Grumps ("It's Horatio, Silke!"), I really hope that we are still friends. You were a great model! Enjoy the sunshine on the window sill :)
Now to the technical: Grumps' body is of a cool-green, soft, translucent, dust-attracting plastic. So I took him to the "bear wash" before the photoshoot to remove all those lints he'd collected during his window sill retirement. Grumps sat on a black, slightly matte lid of a small spice jar. I used three different light sources, a flashlight which I'd put right behind Grumps, and my bigger LED lights, again equipped with my makeshift colour filters, and this time I also used an intensely royal blue glass tealight holder together with the red plastic chocolate box lid. All of it combined, plus a little yellowish light from a shelf across the table, created these nice rainbow colours. This is another single image shot wide open in the fantastic 40 MP High-Res Mode.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe, take care!

Mesh fabric: A material that consists of many thin (nylon) strings, which in turn consist of even thinner, obviously only very loosely twisted together individual strings, which were obviously also only loosely knitted together afterwards, but still make an absolutely tearproof fabric. Amazing, isn't it? This is an extreme close-up of my rainjacket's purple mesh lining. Each of those larger holes is 1 mm / 0,039 inches in diameter. I've used both extension tubes (=26mm) together with my 60mm macro lens. You can see the rainjacket's waterproof membrane (original colour: white) behind the knitted nylon strings; the colours were again achieved by the (partial) use of my red and blue makeshift colour filters and warm light from the living room ceiling lamp. The image is another 40 MP High-res JPG which I've slighty sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI (method: sharpen), next I moved into ON1 Photo Raw where I'd applied the HDR filter, method "Subtle" at 67% opacity, and tweaked the Color Enhancer filter sliders for the background colours, and as final touch I've removed some colour noise in Topaz DeNoise AI.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe, take care!
Netzgewebe: Ein Material, das aus sehr vielen dünnen (Nylon-)Schnüren besteht, die wiederum aus noch dünneren, offenbar nur sehr locker zusammengedrehten Einzelschnüren bestehen, die im Anschluss offenbar ebenfalls nur sehr locker zusammengestrickt wurden und trotzdem ein absolut reißfestes Gewebe ergeben. Erstaunlich, oder? Dies ist das lila-farbene Netzfutter meiner Regenjacke; der Hintergrund ist die weiße, wasserdichte Membran der Jacke. Ich habe hier wieder die Zwischenringe (26 mm insgesamt) angeschraubt, um näher an das Gewebe herangehen zu können und habe auch teilweise wieder meine improvisierten Farbfilter inklusive warmes Licht von der Wohnzimmer-Deckenleuchte verwendet. Das Bild ist wieder ein 40-MP-High-Res-JPG, das ich in Topaz Sharpen AI noch leicht nachgeschärft habe; im Anschluss habe ich in ON1 den HDR-Filter "Subtle" (67% Deckkraft) und für den Hintergrund den Color-Enhancer-Filter (individuell angepasst) verwendet und zum Abschluss das Bild in Topaz DeNoise AI dezent entrauscht. Und: Bitte "Z" drücken :)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche und passt auf Euch auf!
Haworthia cymbiformis is a species of the genus Haworthia in the family Asphodelaceae, endemic to the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa.
Plants are small and grow clumps of rosettes of thick, fleshy, light green leaves. As one of the soft green group of Haworthias it is frequently confused with its relatives (e.g. Haworthia cooperi which shares a similar distribution range, as well as Haworthia mucronata and Haworthia marumiana to the west).
A distinctive feature is the soft, "boat-shaped" leaves ("cymbiformis" actually means "boat-shaped"). Its leaves are not recurved like the "retuse" Haworthias (e.g. Haworthia mirabilis or Haworthia retusa).
Another feature is that the leaves usually have transparent streaks around their tips. In the wild, the sun is very bright, and the plant grows mostly buried by sand with only these transparent tips above the ground.
(Press "L" for larger view). Love to see the wonderful effect that the first light bring to the landscape. When the warm light translucent the air and clouds by shinning and bringing out details and contrast, against the cold blue shadows.
(Spanish: Me encanta ver las maravillas de efectos que la Primera Luz produce en la escena cuando llega. Y brilla en el translúcido aire y nubes, trayendo detalles y contraste en relación al frio azul de las sombras).

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-))
Haworthia cooperi diamonds are nothing more than their transparent tipped leaves. This characteristic of the plant is much appreciated for its beauty, and it becomes clearer in contact with light.
Its leaves start green from the root and start to dissolve in small threads, and on top of the leaf, a crystalline "jewel" is sustained, which looks like a drop of water protected by a light and thin film. In its natural habitat, it is all covered by the earth, leaving only its diamonds out, as it only needs them for the photosynthesis process.
The morphology of Haworthia cooperi is very interesting, as I mentioned earlier, the process of photosynthesis is done through its diamonds. It has a small stature and a short trunk, its stem is barely visible, as the leaves are all stuck to it like a bouquet. Its leaves are predominantly green, but there can be variations.
Depending on the time of year, the leaves may turn reddish or brown. The growth form of Haworthia does not work for the vertical, but for the horizontal, because its leaves do not get bigger nor its trunk taller, what happens is the birth of new leaves, which make the bouquet become more and more full and expand sideways.

A capela superior da Sainte-Chapelle, em Paris, é um exemplar notável do gótico radiante, construída entre 1241 e 1248 por ordem do rei Luís IX para albergar relíquias da Paixão de Cristo, incluindo a Coroa de Espinhos. Com 15 janelas de 15 metros de altura, os vitrais abrangem 670 m² e representam 1.113 cenas bíblicas, permitindo uma narrativa sequencial desde o Génesis até ao Apocalipse. Este conjunto de vitrais, um dos mais preservados da Europa, transforma o espaço numa "Bíblia de pedra e vidro", cumprindo a função pedagógica de transmitir as Escrituras numa época de analfabetismo. A estrutura da capela elimina praticamente as paredes sólidas, criando um ambiente luminoso e translúcido que evoca a Jerusalém Celeste descrita no Apocalipse.
The upper chapel of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris is a remarkable example of radiant Gothic architecture, built between 1241 and 1248 by order of King Louis IX to house relics of the Passion of Christ, including the Crown of Thorns. With 15 windows 15 meters high, the stained glass windows cover 670 m² and depict 1,113 biblical scenes, allowing for a sequential narrative from Genesis to Revelation. This set of stained glass windows, one of the best preserved in Europe, transforms the space into a “Bible of stone and glass,” fulfilling the pedagogical function of transmitting the Scriptures in an era of illiteracy. The structure of the chapel virtually eliminates solid walls, creating a luminous and translucent environment that evokes the Heavenly Jerusalem described in the Apocalypse.

Una solitaria amapola silvestre en una minimalista composición al contraluz, probando mi viejo objetivo Helios 44 M-4 58mm f/2 de enfoque manual a máxima apertura, y originando una fotográfica delicada sutileza impropia de la rudeza que, en todo momento, habria de regir la obra de un bárbaro y godo Rey, como mi merced es :-) :-) :-)

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Puedes observar que al momento de impactar la superficie del árbol con su pico, su ojo es cubierto por la "membrana Nictitante" para protegerlo.
La membrana nictitante (del latín nictare, parpadear), o "tercer párpado", es una característica fisiológica propia de ciertos animales; se trata de una telilla o párpado accesorio transparente o translúcido que puede cerrarse para proteger al globo ocular y para humectar por debajo de los párpados principales, mientras se mantiene visibilidad.- fuente:wikipedia.
*********************************************************************
Take a close up, note as soon as the beak strike the surfece of the tree, the eyes is protected by the "nictitating membrane"
The nictitating membrane is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining vision. The term comes from the Latin word nictare, meaning "to blink". It is often called a third eyelid or haw, and may be referred to in scientific terminology as the plica semilunaris, membrana nictitans, or palpebra tertia. Unlike the upper and lower eyelids, the nictitating membrane moves horizontally across the eyeball. -source:wikipedia

Les symphorines sont des arbustes ornementaux que l'on cultive principalement pour leur production de baies toutes rondes ou légèrement ovoïdes. C'est en automne qu'apparaissent les fruits, qui selon les espèces pourront former des grappes ou des bouquets blancs, roses ou même translucides. On lui donne aussi le nom de groseilliers des indes ou plus commun l’arbre à perles. Les indiens en faisaient du savon pour se laver le corps et les cheveux.
Symphorins are ornamental shrubs that are grown primarily for the production of all round or slightly ovoid berries. It is in autumn that the fruits appear, which according to the species will be able to form clusters or bouquets white, pink or even translucent. It is also called the currant bush or the common pearl tree. The Indians used soap to wash their bodies and hair.

No interior, uma instalação de elementos verticais translúcidos evoca a especialização da marca em cristais. Fundada em 1895 por Daniel Swarovski, em Wattens, a Swarovski tornou-se sinónimo de cristais de alta precisão, joalharia e artigos de decoração. A loja vienense, distribuída por três pisos, exemplifica a ambição da marca de unir comércio e arte, atraindo tanto clientes como turistas numa rua onde se concentram marcas de luxo e edifícios de importância arquitetónica, numa zona de elevado movimento turístico e comercial.
