After I accidentally got good results from my macro pictures with reflections from water drop, I tried again and here are a few samples. My equipments are as usual FZ50, Raynox DCR250 and this time a water sprayer. I know that getting the right focus with macro picture is hard, but getting the right focus on the reflection in macro is even harder. You will not figure out if you got the right focus or not until you blow up the picture in the screen. I took about a hundred pictures and these are several takers. But, it's a fun project, and I suggest that everybody try this by using your imagination. You can create many awesome effects from the water reflections.

Very nice! I love this kind of shots. And your #4 is specially beautiful to me.
Thanks for sharing,

Thanks. those phlox flowers are peak of the season in my garden. I gotta try more before they are gone.
 
Thanks for the views and sharing your review. It's been just a couple of months since I got my FZ50, and this is my first camera with some serious options. I'm glad I found this forum. This community really stimulates my interest on picture takings. Many people share their beutiful pictures, and very kind and encouraging advises and comments help a lot for the beginners like me. I hope that I can contribute a little in this community.
 
The Pink phlox one is stunning, and also the first one is really really good. Will have to try that - thanks for the tip, but you're setting the bar a tad high for the rest of us :-)
 
Thanks. This type of work is challenging, but rewarding. My neighbors would think I'm crazy as I spend a long time on the ground laying down with camera and water sprayer.
