Couple of xmas refractions shots. The raimdrops were on a spider's web strand between two water barrels and I managed to wedge the Christmas cards behind them.

Thanks for the comments.

Brvheart - I was using an MPE-65 lens on a 5Dmk2 body with a bracket mounted and diffused 430Ex flash. Shots taken around 2 or 3:1 magnification and focus stacked using zerne stacker. The Christmas cards were about 2" behind the drops and upside down.

Those are gorgeous Brian. Do you have any pullback shots to give an idea how you made them?

One word: wow! Two more days and Santa will be dropping off a macro lens and a rail!!!! - then I have to learn how to use it Such great examples here to inspire me. And, since I hate winter (and can't avoid it living in Canada) this will keep me busy...

Thanks again for the comments.

Ian - Sorry no setup shot- you would have just seen a smallish christmas card wedged beween two barrels. I was handholding the camera, resting my left hand against one of the barrels for some support.

Snowgirl - enjoy your xmas macro lens
