It rained all day here in Gatineau (near Ottawa), but I managed a few shots between rain drops :/

This was my first try at shooting without the flash and Lumiquest Softbox combo. I can always seen the Softbox head in the rain drops and it bugs me, so gave this a try. Shutter speed was too low on some, and of course DOF is even shallower.

I wonder if a powefull flashlight from different angles would work at increasing the light, without having to revert to the flash ?

I shared this in a thread about my recent XTi purchase, then I saw this thread so ... Apologies if you had to see this twice.

Brian,

Love the dewdrops! I tell you, when you take on a project, you do it in a first-class manner. I still love your stereo shots and swear I'm going to try it one day. Kudos on these.

Rudi,

Man o man, that first shot is amazing. You have taken floral photography well into the realm of fine art photography.

All the best,

jim

It has been such a drought here that good flowers are hard to find. Have to resort to cotton...

hoya blooms

blue bloom with aphids...

male flower: blue bloom with boys! (my attempt at a little humour...)

blue violet - who would have thought flowers could be so phallic?!

Certainly haven't got brilliant eyesight- I wear 2.5 Dioptre reading glasses

to spot things and then take them off to take the picture

First 2 shots were with an MPE-65 at 3:1 but you can get away with doing them at 2:1 with a 100mm macro lens and a full set of extension tubes (68mm). Last shot was with my 105mm macro lens at less than 1:1

Thanks Jim- once you get the hang of these dewdrop shots, they are very easy to do

Thanks! Wow - I am not sure that I am that dedicated. I might get the 100mm macro though.
