First attempt at a macro shot of a water droplet. I have new respect for these kinds of photos. They are not easy to take! Most of mine were ever so slightly out of focus due to the occasional breeze and photographer shake. This was the best I got for now. Next time I will try with a tripod and hopefully still conditions.
By the way, in the droplet, you can actually see a little ant. It had walked over the top of the bud and was on the backside when I took the shot. It was funny to see it captured in the droplet later.
This is beautiful Lisa! I was missing your pictures already! Great capture and I love the raindrops especially the bigger one, love how you can see the grass and nice bokeh too
Lovely first attempt Lisa, love colour and great reflection. I find I also get the best results with macro work to use a tripod. I have only tried a friend's macro lens once and was so happy with the results but I have extension tubes and they are rather difficult to work with.
Well done! I've only ever attempted this type of shot with my compact camera but I know that it's not easy to get the angle you need to show the reflection and that's even before you get started on the focusing!
@gamelee Thank you, Lee! I did not notice that! I am still struggling to find myself. I was wearing a brown sun hat and think I see that shape, but it's hard to make out. You are very observant! Thank you also for commenting on so many of my photos today. Very nice of you to take the time to do that!
