yes, Yes, YES! Reflective DROPS

Kevin

Hi all
Been trying to find a rain/water droplet with nice reflections in. So far, only bad luck. Have now gone to creating a setup with a common daisy for the reflections I'm more or less after.
Thoughts?

Hey these look great I'd love to get a reflective shot, but alas we don't have rain or many live plants these days
You'd be pretty pleased with this lot I'm sure .... good work ... Skippy

Nice series. I was wondering did you also place the water droplets with a spray bottle, or eye dropper or were they found naturally. And was this an indoor or outdoor session? What did you use to light the compositions?

Take care,

Hi again Kevin
Lovely series of shots- excellent compositions.
As previously mentioned you will get clearer refractions by going for smaller drops-about 1 to 2mm in diameter is best for optical properties.

Sheesh, I can't even break away from the "regular" hangout places to try and impress folks, and then here you are, again!

Nice to see you here Brian, have got combinezm downloaded now, wanna give the deep dof a try this weekend.
Thanks for all the friendly advice, I thought a nikon guy was gonna get chewed up over "there"

but, I go after the shot and not the gear (even tho I might contemplate a baseball bat and a midnight visit to your place for that 5:1 lens

good weekend to you.
