Very nice. That last one is incredible.

Serrator · June 9, 2007

Really beautiful captures Brian!

On #1 you said it was "inverted"...do you mean you inverted it in PS under selection or something else? Nice looking!

quark · June 9, 2007

The third one is really cool!

Lord Vetinari · June 9, 2007

Thanks for the comments all

Serrator- yes inverted in PS so it is a colour negative- it has had a few other ps things done to it as well.

I love the 2nd one, what lens were you using on this?

Love it a lot. Great work.

I really like the colors in the last three. That and the way the droplets
pickup reflections.

Wonderful!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone- glad you like the shots

I was using my MPE-65 for these apart from #1 (sigma 105) on my 20D.
You can get similar shots with a normal macro lens with ext tubes around 2:1 magnification.
Skippy- #2 was an interesting mix of dewdrops (the small ones) and raindrops - on a potentilla bush which has hairy leaves that are hydrophobic.

The clarity of the water drops is fantastic. They almost look like glass, they are so clear. I love to take dew drop shots, but haven't even come close to these results. Awesome as always.

Thanks Debbie
I always think these are easy to do now but it took me about 6 months practice to get the hang of them
