My other water drop.

[RB]

Now that the Feb comp is over, I thought I'd post my other water drop shot.

The plant is a 'Mexican Cactus', very colourful and quite pretty to look at.

Focus was quite difficult to achieve with such a shallow DOF.

Nothing more to say than.... :jawdrop:

OK, Andrew... why did you choose the other one over this one?:shrug: Toss of a coin?:P:) They're both superb shots...

Hi Andrew,

Brilliant composition and colour. No need to have a shot of tequila before
seeing the beauty in what you so skillfully managed to capture.

Best Regards

Andrew,

I think I prefer this one. It may be slightly overexposed, but I think it has more zing than your comp entry. Have you ever tried focus stacking? It's something I have been meaning to try sometime, but just never got round to it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback


LOL it was haste Al...... I was kind of in a hurry and submitted the other one first.......:lol:


Thank you Leon, glad you liked it.


Cheers Gary, although I did have a tequila after I finished. :lol:


I agree, I like this one better too Mike.
Actually I was in such a hurry and being my first go at this sort of macro, I didn't really know what to expect or how they'd turn out.

I've been reading up on focus stacking and that will be my next attempt.
A great progie that's been recommended to me is CombineZM by Alan Hadley.

Can't wait to give it a go and see the difference in the DOF.

Cheers
Andrew

great shot RB :)

Thanks David, I'm hoping to find some time to get back into it again.
Have a try at some bugs and try focus stacking too.
Lucky we don't need to take darks or flats. :whistle:
