My dew drop reflection

tlee

My first attempt to get a flower reflection in a dew drop. Thanks to Lord V's (Brian's) tutorials, here's my first attempt (best out of 84 shots taken this morning).

Lovely shot- Looks like an orchid in the refraction

Yes it is an orchid. I sacrificed a bloom off of one of my newest orchid plants. Ooops--guess it is a refraction, not a reflection .

Ohhhhhh look at you getting all clever with the dew drops
There are no flowers for me to even think about attempting to do that with here

So tell us what did you find the hardest thing that you took 84 Shots to get this one?

Is it the actual focusing on the dew drop itself ?

It's a great shot, my favourite colour too PINK .... Well Done .

Well, the hardest thing was focusing on the dew drop. I had a small breeze to contend with, as well as my own shakiness. It's really hard to rest the camera on something that low--grass had been recently cut--I need to find some taller grass! I had a neighbor ask me (while I was laying on my stomach) if I was taking pictures of my grass growing. Most of the plants I have tend to have pink blossoms--I try hard to add other colors into my "collection" as well. But, pink is what I'm drawn to!!
