Wow, that's excellent. We're having so much rain in the UK at the moment, it will be easy to try this out!

Well, next time we get some Rain here in Melbourne I'llhave a go...
On the focus stacking: What aperture are you using? would it be possible to extend the exposure, use a tripod and get enough DOF that way?

Heard about the lack of rain problems you have and smoke haze from bush fires- hope you get rain soon.
You can try using a smaller aperture than around F8-F11 I use for these shots but you will lose some sharpness due to diffraction softening.
If you have the patience and are careful you should be able to get both the drop and flower in focus by carefully moving the flower until you get the focal point of the dew drop (likely to be further back from the drop).

Neat, Thanks :) Don't know if I have the patience yet, but I think I will be getting a spray bottle to try creating my own dew :)

Brian, thank you, and congratulations! I have been playing with the stack technique and the dewdrop technique, but not both together, yet. And then yesterday my April edition of Practical Photography finally made it to the States, and I was thrilled to see your work and mini-tutorial. Thanks again!

Lord V! I'm a big fan of your work. I would like to thank you for taking your time to explain how you go about your beautiful dewdrop refractions. I'm quite impatient to try with dewdrops... instead I tried with a soap poof net =P.
Though it's not perfect (had a hard time with "slice focus" as my eye sight is becoming really poor), I did try a few shot and I dedicate them to you for being such an inspiration and for sharing your secret!

Do you think i would be able to pull something like this off with a Olympus FE-340/x-b55/C-560

zoelver not sure what magnification that camera/lens system is capable of but if you can get to about 0.6:1 (equivalent to 2:1 with a 1.6crop DSLR) then yes you could but I suspect the focusing could be a problem
