drop of clematis

This part caught my view in the moment of opening the picture, amazing..

going for that green-on-white / white-on-green contrast thing.

Thaks so much all. I admit after going for all the multidrops, all-in-focus, bright colors, pain-in-the-rear kind of shots, I'm really attracted to the simplicty of this one!

Sabinche, thanks for the "Search the Best" nomination - much appreciated!

Jeff, thanks so much for the Bravo nomination. And kids, you got to go look at Uncle Jeff's vacation shots posted now. Yeowser!

eggplant53 says:

I LOVE your drops!! They totally inspire me. Can you teach me to do that? My hubby says: "First you have to live in a humid climate, so that the drops stay around long enough to focus on. Around here (Montana) they wouldn't last a minute." Sigh. Any suggestions???

You are the 'reflection in waterdrops' specialist. Again a great picture. How do you do it. Please give some hints.
This reflection is super special.
Do you use a macro-objective?
A fave for me.
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

laszlofromhalifax says:

Wonderful. An instant fave.
How do you take these shots? I am sure you use a water mix for these shots. Is it sugar water or glycerin? You have a nice macro lens too.

eyeore2710 says:

Well, you`ve outdone yourself this time with the green-on-white / white-on-green contrast thingie going on.
You know what I first thought of when I saw the circle of white flowers in the water drop (it is still unbelievable for me that you can actually have flowers inside a drop, it just doesn`t cease to amaze me)?
I thought of the group of airlines called "Star - Alliance" because I had always imagined a circle of tiny white stars inside a bubble when I read that name. Even though it might not make sense the thought made me smile, so well done again, Master Steve! ; >
