As I was preparing the replace the poinsettias on the front porch with the normal shrubbery, I noticed that the recent rain had left some great droplets on the fallen leaves. Naturally I had to grab the camera and capture the image. I love the reflections you get in droplets and if you look closely in the closest droplet you can see the reflection of the front of my house. I think I need to clean the gutters.
What I learned in taking this photo: Sometimes you just have no choice but to revert to the Auto setting. I am forced to use an adapter for the Sigma lens on the Sony camera with the Nikon mount (I seem to be solely responsible for supporting the Japanese economy with that assemblage), resulting in the loss of critical manual functions.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki. Now a secret - I had to manually focus the shot since I was using the adapter. My vision isn't that good, and a large number came out not quite as well focused. I got lucky on this one.
@jorlam Thank you, as I responded to Vikki, I had to do this all manually, and fortunately this one worked out. I can't go anywhere without the reading glasses.
@taffy Ha ha, yes Taffy, I know you have been through the experience where you just have no choice but to go to Auto. It's a defeating feeling. Thanks for the comments. :-)
Thank you for sharing all the thoughts.
…. that is the magic.
