I was just playing with my Micro lens yesterday, a Nikkor 105mm, and caught this fly.

Plus, an image from last December on a rainy day (anyone still remember those?).

Rain! What's that? Like the second picture of the reflection in the droplet

I must admit that when I took the photograph I didn't notice the reflection. It has been significantly enlarged from the original. But thank you!

Thank you very much! I am slowly getting it, thanks to friends in the Wild Rivers Photo Club here in Grants Pass.

Taking photos of water or dew drop reflections is very challenging but occasionally you get one you really like. My average is 2-3 for every 100 shots. Using extension tubes and close up lenses together gives you a depth of field of maybe 1/16”.

You are clearly more into the subject than I am. This was pure luck. But that is good advice, and thank you!

I should go through all my saved photos and find a couple to post. One has a water droplet that acts as a magnifying glass, enlarging the cellular fibers on a blade of grass. For dewdrops you really need a piece of cardboard or the like to put down because you are on your belly with your face shoved into the yard.
