rain - bejewelled acer

Today it's raining and grey so I'm going for bright - all the shots taken this morning using M on my camera! Probably mostly more a matter of luck than judgment but thanks to Thomas @thomastoth for his manual challenge which has made me set about settings!

I've discovered that macro zoom works, on my camera at least!

@quietpurplehaze You`re the best. And immediately a beautiful use of this knowledge to create this wonderful pic.

The water drop technique you use is super, the colours are lovely.

Thank you so much, Ferry - I've been agonising over these camera settings and I'm still in the experimental stage!

Many thanks for all your comments. I had fun straight after breakfast getting this shot and 'playing' with settings.
