Water Drops


I need to practice this technique some more. It's done with a macro lens (filter in my case) and my focus wasn't as sharp as I'd like/need, but I got a few decent ones so I figured I'd post. So, look for more on this later.

This second one was just taken with my new lens on 200mm, there was no macro filter on it. While the macro would have been nice, my focus is much better here and I think I can get it to work like I want (you should be able to actually see the flower in the water droplet and tell what it is). The above picture was taken later and I moved my set up around a little and I like that set up better, so we'll see if I can get that sharp flower with just the zoom lens and the better set up (why can nothing ever go together the first time, of course I had to switch lenses then set ups instead of trying the new set up before changing lenses. Does any of this rambling make sense?)
