I did a water droplet test using the technique by Ross Hoddinott from his book "Digital Macro Photography"


more info on his technique in photo description.


He, he, I like your tip from the book, cutting out yukky leaves and so on. I do that all the time. In the wild though, I don't "cut" out the leaves, I routinely clean up the area around the flower (especially dead grasses, they're murder on pictures), chase away all icky bugs, and if there are "undesirables" (yukky leaves, a dead flower) try to bend them away or get them out of the way temporarily, without destroying anything.


Wonder if a can of that compressed air would work to clean up loose stuff?

This is one Ursula will surely recognize.

On a side note: I'm a bit behind on commenting, but I WILL get to all of your pictures.

I promise.

He, he, yeah.

BTW, I'm behind too on commenting - so many pictures! Love it, but it is a daunting task to comment on all.

Day 8

Kind of a weedy looking flower but it's interesting. I'm more pleased with the background effect on this one.
