0.000 HBDMACRO SHADOWS - for the Shadow Hunters SMASh Contest-Round 367
I'm rarely focused on shadows while chasing spiders and insects and exploring the tiny details in nature around me, but sometimes, a shadow confidently enters the scene and steals the show. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmaHdW36t2vnKaCMoUHV1UgjKiVxA3Fy2j9VxxFJ79waTb/img_0420_izhoshtreno.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmaHdW36t2vnKaCMoUHV1UgjKiVxA3Fy2j9VxxFJ79waTb/img_0420_izhoshtreno.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) In today's post, I'll show you a few tiny shadows I photographed in the early summer of 2024. The one shown in the opening photograph is the entry for the contest, and ... <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmchFu9WjN6efLJkUxjBDqWjbodQps1csXaeWjkS15a9D9/img_0418_izhoshtreno.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmchFu9WjN6efLJkUxjBDqWjbodQps1csXaeWjkS15a9D9/img_0418_izhoshtreno.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) ... and it was cast by the pistil of a flower. The scientific name of the plant is Romulea bulbocodium. The following photograph ... <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmV6kzRAaqMufLKoB7y4PdRPACM2ADArgyEDLSciP1754w/img_3392_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmV6kzRAaqMufLKoB7y4PdRPACM2ADArgyEDLSciP1754w/img_3392_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) ... shows a fly seen through the leaf of one of the fig trees in my garden. The structure of the leaf looks great in the backlight. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmPfqKCTM6Ht6g9Dsy3KM8auTrxjVZyiiGMvABCRAkV9py/img_1168_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmPfqKCTM6Ht6g9Dsy3KM8auTrxjVZyiiGMvABCRAkV9py/img_1168_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) This is the small leaf of the yarrow (Achillea millefolium). The leaf and its shadow. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmPXncscQ4kZHnw8QhVM85VewajFMUMrVvfsuLAFj1iBZa/img_1170_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmPXncscQ4kZHnw8QhVM85VewajFMUMrVvfsuLAFj1iBZa/img_1170_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) Here, you can see the shadow of another leaf on the same plant. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmacMXsAbC8xx7TgKcQMp5oRP21eUFqd4kJTB3Godbcx4x/img_1171_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmacMXsAbC8xx7TgKcQMp5oRP21eUFqd4kJTB3Godbcx4x/img_1171_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) I caught quite a few Achillea millefolium shadows on that occasion. The one shown in the following photograph ... <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmRGjKAzqXgF3LVaKCKgMivDduiYsqW4Vtzr3XzEEKKXCB/img_1172_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmRGjKAzqXgF3LVaKCKgMivDduiYsqW4Vtzr3XzEEKKXCB/img_1172_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) ... is my favorite.  This spider and its shadow were resting on the long leaf of the reed. The name of the species is Nigma puella. It's a spider from the Dictynidae family.  The dark shadow is much easier to spot than the tiny green spider, well-camouflaged on the green surface. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmP4S3NswZ5Hi15F9wbvd76qtYwgq8gb5XmREYtPGRSAJJ/img_6806_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmP4S3NswZ5Hi15F9wbvd76qtYwgq8gb5XmREYtPGRSAJJ/img_6806_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) Here, you can see the ornate shadow of the fennel plant that grows among the reeds. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmdgVkhVvTeNS5dTzgx8PvrfVrTb7DnE3j5qVvGoC8u6BQ/img_6804_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmdgVkhVvTeNS5dTzgx8PvrfVrTb7DnE3j5qVvGoC8u6BQ/img_6804_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) This photograph shows a bit of the dry plant that has cast a shadow on the green foliage of a reed. <a href="https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ6yVLP98PQy6iHhYLCCrKBHbErwZTCoR4XAjYBniwohf/img_8844_oshtro.jpg"><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ6yVLP98PQy6iHhYLCCrKBHbErwZTCoR4XAjYBniwohf/img_8844_oshtro.jpg"></a> (Enlargeable) This is a planthopper; can't tell you the name of the species, seen through the leaf of the reed. AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS, HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
