Translucent Impressions

Amplify the artistry of your collection with dreamy photos capturing the ephemeral beauty of translucent subjects.Whether flowers,leaves, or stained glass,light from translucent sources makes an excellent subject because it has a soft,glowing effect that lends itself to reflection and calm.

Here are some helpful hints for adding arresting translucent impressions to your repertoire:


Soft Light
One important key to capturing translucent impressions is to look for soft-light situations.For outdoor shots this will usually be the beginning and end of the day when the angle and strength of light is lower and overpowering glare is less likely to be a concern.However,soft light can be found even in the middle of the day. Examples include light filtered through a forest canopy or through a skylit atrium in an indoor garden.
