The only thing that bothered me was the light reflections on the dew drop. I am not sure if they were from my flash set up or from the lights in the kitchen..hmmm



it has improved over my previosu attempt a few weeks ago. I had an "aha" moment a few days ago when I relaized my aperture was at 2.8. So I cranked it it f/22 or so for the above shot to get more the dew drop/reflction in focus.

    Hi there Qarik, the only way I will get a shot like that is to do what you did too, take it inside.

    Looking good Qarik, I'm yet to find anyone get worse when learning to do new things thumb.gif .... Skippy :D
