Raindrop macros

[StephenM]

Hi all,

With all the rain we've been getting in Brisbane recently, I thought I'd have a go at some raindrops with my macro lens. Here's a couple of the better ones. Hope you like them!

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice Stephen - you have got some refraction going on within the drops :thumbsup:

[troypiggo]

Some nice refractions there. Not many bugs around for us with all this rain. :(

Great shots! Pic a flower of small to medium size and hold it behind the drops. If you get the right angle, all the drops should have a perfect flower in them. Depending on your DoF you may not get all the flowers in the drops in focus, stacking is normally necessary for full DoF.

Beautiful Stephen :thumbsup:

Thanks very much for the comments everyone! I wasn't entirely happy with these shots and almost didn't bother posting them, so thanks for the feedback.



It's a red Allamanda, Frank



I'll give that a try Mitchell.

Cheers,
Stephen
