I thought I'd give some water drop refractions a try with my Kenko tubes on the 50mm f/1.8. C&C welcomed.

    Thank you Shane,
    I don't have the 50mm F1.8, but I do have the 50mm F1.4 and the Kenkos, I will have to give that combo a go :D

    ... thanks again... Skippy (Australia)

    Very nice!

    It's been way too dry here lately for these kinds of shots (waah).
