Still playing and learning with 'close up'... this time on an Iris.... pretty much straight from the camera apart from a crop off the top... I was quite pleased to see a refraction in this one as I'd previosly read extension tubes are required for this 'effect'.... maybe needs to be viewed large to see it properly. Taken in natural daylight and hand held.

I'd be interested in any hints/tips anyone has to share with me.

Thanks for viewing and hope you're enjoying our 'indian summer w/end'...

Karen Smile

Beautiful work, Karen - great clarity in the refraction. Hand held... I'm envious Smile

Using the whole flower to fill the frame works very well here, the drop adds another dimension to the shot as does the depth of field. Top shot

A great result - beautiful colours and strong composition.

excellen t

You've created a delightful image here with very attractive colour. I would say that for this type of macro shot you really do need to use a tripod. I use both a tripod and a focusing rail for precision focusing when doing macro work.

Love the colors, etc-- and I am glad you framed it as this one would have been floating out there somewhere in a no frame presentation

What a great image, really like it.
I hate tripods and never use mine, so very well done on hand held for such a close up shot.
It just goes to show what can be achieved without one.

Lovely effect on this, going from sharp on the droplet to the hazy background.

I have a tripod but usually handhold macro shots I might get one out of ten that can bear scrutiny so I too am envious of this!

Such beautiful colours

Brilliant work Karen, only a drop and a yellow lip - but it is obvious what it is - spot on the drop, excellent image.
