The Magnifying Glass by Weezilou

The Magnifying Glass

Unlike the dry desert that's Southern California, we get a fair share of rain in Nova Scotia. I've been seizing the opportunity to practice photographing the magnification power of water droplets. I was delighted that I could make out the rhubarb plants below in the garden, when seen through a droplet (or three!)

Ahhh, these are exciting times!
excellent. i haven't done anything like this in a long long while, but then again, when it rains here wind always comes with it so...a rather excellent shot, ma dahling! aces!

Lovely details in the droplets!! I haven't done refraction shots for ages - must have a go again. Probably need to do it indoors though as its always breezy here!!

@chard The possibility is always there! (I've discovered that I'm allergic to raccoons! After sitting out next to them to photograph them, I come in and sneeze my head off! Who knew?!)
