Water Droplets

Various shots of water droplets

All shots where taken with Manual focus,
ISO Low 3 and using Mirror Lock-up and a
remote release.

The water droplets were put onto the rear surface of a CD
and then an angle poised lamp positioned over the
droplets.

Moving the position of the light changed the colours
displayed.

Fly eyes (macro)

These shots were taken with my new macro lens:
105mm f2/8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor

As you can see the DOF is extramly small, throwing the

body and legs out of focus and only keeping the eyes in focus.

These shots were all taken handheld and used the Vibration Reduction
function on the lens which really helped as even the smallest bit
of wind moved the subject right out of the frame!

I am hoping to get out on a still day with a tripod to see how
much more crisp I can get images.

I will post up my results as and when I take new pictures.
