Water Drops and a Gerber Daisy - Refraction

[jason324]

First off I wanted thank Bryan (LordV) for sharing his tricks of the trade and inspiration for me to finally try this :blushing:

I used the 5D Mark II, Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS, and 67mm of extension tubes. Almost full frame, but slightly cropped to make it cleaner.

Best,
Jay

Very nicely done.

You captured the iamge of the flower nicely, but it's quite blurry and alot of detail has been lost in the reds of the flower in the water droplet. When you shoot hard reds or blues, sometimes the lightwaves reach infrared and ultraviolet respectively and the camera loses detail. You're experiencing that quite a bit here. I'd love to see a different flower under the same conditions.

Thanks for the comments and critiques

According to the histogram all the red is actually there, but I see exactly what your saying!

Best,
