Rain Drop Refractions (Macro)

[Mike4AU]

It has been raining big time all week. I decided to see what I could do with the rain drops on my lily flowers. Look closely at the water droplets.

To do justice to these kinds of shots I need to buy a focus rail and stack around 7 shots on top of each other, but I don't have that equipment and software yet.

So these will have to do for now. Hope you like.

Very nice!

Yeah, they work, even at low res.

ive said this before but your borders are way too complicated and take away from your work. a 1 pixel white border with larger black border around it should do the job while not overwhelming the photo

Different strokes for different folks....and these borders are for presentation purposes on the net, not for printing.

Very nice!! I actually kinda like the borders.

I'm sure you've posted this before, but what camera are you using?

Great pics.

Nikon D300. I used my Sigma 105 macro lens for these shots.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. And I recognize that the criticism of the borders was well intended.

I have purchased a focus rail. Can't wait to try some stacking. If any turn out OK, I will be sure to share them.

Thanks
