Hi there Brian.. I was looking at the first shot and thinking......okay now I see all the planets are lining up here.....where is the Moon and the Sun

Your stacked focusing technique produces such stunning photos from you Brian, I sit in awe of your work, I really do

The first one is absolutely lovely, m'Lud. And the detail in the drop of #3 is remarkable. Beautiful work.

Thanks Sid- water drops seem to be getting a speciality of mine- I find them fascinating. I'm trying to get a decent bug shot refracted though one at the moment

I use a sigma 105mm EX (non DG) with ext tubes (normally 33mm ) and plus sometimes a +20 dioptre closeup lens
