Description
FULL VIEW PLEASE!
It's a must!
Photo: Me.
Minor Post. Pros: Me.
Taken: Aug. 27th 2014.
One large water droplet with tons of tiny drops
behind it. To create the awesome bokeh you see.
They are all sitting on a DVD with LED light on it
Lovely Macro Filters, 3 used, 18+ magnification total.
Simple camera accessories can really go a long way :]
No cropping was done to get this close, I GOT that close.
This means that the camera data is not correct.
My water droplet shots aren't just
about the drops. I care about the whole
photo, every inch matters to me. Colors,
bokeh, different arrangements, ideas, etc.
I try to create a scene each time, it's calming
but a happy challenge that I enjoy to explore.
I really hope you all dig this!!

I got some real cheap anodised aluminium ones ebay from China. Had to tighten some screws on the mount, but other than that, what a bargain. I want to get another set of three and see what I see if I use both sets at once!

It's just the manual focussing that gets me...

I only shoot in manual when I shoot Macro.

Ha! You obviously have better eyes than me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, probably not, lol. It's just a lot easier to get
the focus you need because often times Auto
limits what it will focus and what it will not.

I find I need my reading glasses more and more. Pisses me off.

I know how it goes, I wear glasses
and I am still pretty blind. I need new ones.

That's a bummer. Expensive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. But not that expensive for me.
Lol, its just a hassle. My friends dad
does payment plans with me

Ah, that's lucky then. Still, I find glasses a pain. Possibly, because I've only recently needed them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, then that is why. To me, they are a
way of life, I have had to wear them
since I was just 4 years old

Aha. I should not complain then.

Do you ever photograph the derelict houses in Detroit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, they are in very bad areas. So its
not something I have been able to get a
group together to go and do. A group is
needed for such areas of the city.

Oh bugger! That bad? I took my dad to see the roughest neighbourhood here, a few years ago and he just laughed and laughed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. Places like that are apart of neighborhoods'
that are just the worst of the worst. Most of the
houses are either gone or drug houses. And so
at least a group of 4 is needed. Lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds bad. I think four would be travelling too light, unless you're well armed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Four is a good size, too large we would
draw more attention to ourselves
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aha.
Do no decent folks live in those areas anymore?
I'm from Africa - Another place where local knowledge is very important before venturing into any neighbourhood you're not familiar with. Also, what's reasonably safe in the day time, can be very unsafe at night.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. But its the sort of neighborhood to be
safe and not to trust anyone 
Day time trips are the only trips to make
for Photography purposes

Indeed! Pity - there's some lovely old houses going to waste and ruin.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. But not just houses, historic buildings also.

True. Very sad.
