Red rose dewdrop refractions

Lord Vetinari · June 25, 2010

Some nice dewdrops yesterday (I did cheat by watering a patch of grass the prevous night) so tried some refractions with a red rose. All 5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash around 4:1 and focus stacked by hand.

They are so cute, they make me smile. They are so accomplished, I am in awe.

(Thanks for the shooting info.

Nice!
Now you just need an insect to pose nicely behind the dew drop and you're golden!

by chilling the bug in a refrigerator

Thanks for the comments

SBs_ I have tried this a couple of times with small flies you get down in the grass but it doesn't work very well with insects. You need something fairly big behind the drops to be recognisable in the refraction.
