Another day another water-droplet on grass from me.

I really loved my selfie being visible in this, but that was pretty quickly forgotten about when I realised I could see the micro droplets that line the entire blade of grass! This droplet is about 2mm across, so I have no idea how small those micro-droplets are! :eek::cool:

Canon 600D, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro (non IS/VR), 65mm Extension Tubes, Manual Mode, Multi-segment Metering, 2 Second Delay
ISO 1600, 90mm, f/11, 1/13

What's the difference between macro rails and just moving your focus point?
More exacting control in many regards. Very useful for Aspie's or OCD types.

Too much building work around the house and garden (new conservatory), plus a bit of feeling down and losing the will to push myself out with the camera.
Here's to hoping the building goes off smoothly and quickly for you, Hugh, and that you're still taking the energetic young one for a walk regularly, even if not as far afield as normal.

You and I both. I've had the program for YEARS too, but have only ever used to fix little things here and there. Never to this extent.
I think you mentioned that you have CS3 too, right? Same version I'm using.
I think you got me mixed up with someone else. I've had LR standalone for years. But I only recently moved to the Photography plan, so I've only just got PS.
Trouble is as I learn one technique, I find I've forgotten the earlier lesson.

I'll see how much they cost then!

Looks like you got the technique sorted pretty quick!

Long way to go to hang the washing!

Thank you, Alex. I think I'm coming out of it now; being busy always helps, and yes, having an energetic young hound means you have to go out whatever :)

One more petunia photo...

Glad your feeling brighter. I always feel better when I can get out with my camera. I've been off all week and been out twice with mine. Last time I was off I didn't get out at all.
Back to work Monday though :(

Thanks. There are times in this heat when we haven't been anywhere we don't absolutely need to ;)

Cheers :)

No super models today? I'm available for my usual fee! ;)
I could've posted another person, but I posted this as a political protest. :p

I'm serious. Stop posting ****ing flower photos people. There's no challenge in that. Any knacker with a phone camera can do it.

Lift your game. Strive for better.
