with the reflections in the dew drops, are you just maneuvering around the drop until you see what you want in the reflection, or are you manipulating it to achieve the desired effect??

Truly amazing photos, and very generous of you to share your technique. I recently downloaded CombineZP (the new version) but did not realize that it could align frames well enough for use with handheld shots.

Dan , I think all the stacking progs I've come across allow for some frame movement. In fact these shots were stacked by hand. The flower dewdrops are very simple to do by hand and it's just as fast. #1 is not that simple but most stacking programs make a hash of mass small drop photos either not aligning properly or leaving multiple haloes around the drops.

Amazing shots--gives me something to shoot for, get it? lol, ok not funny.
Makes me want to pack up my bags and leave the site until I have something presentable.
But I won't.
Pics are so amazing they don't even look real.
To Digital Grin: Please add a smilie emoticon that has a little gun blowing it's little brains out. Will come in handy when viewing all great photography I not yet capable of---- yet.
