Water Drop – Photo Informatica
Water Drop - Photo Informatica
This is another shot taken with the reverse lens macro technique. I have taken similar images in the past using the Nikkor 70-200m f/2m8 VR lens, but had to crop the image to get the level detail I am getting here. As in a previous post about this technique, the challenge is nailing the focus. I just have to rock back and forth until the subject is in focus then take the image. I don’t have a tripod that will allow me to get as close as I need to in order to capture this type of image so for now I just take it hand held.

I decided to swap out my standard 70-200mm lens with the 50mm lens for this one. The 12.1 megapixels of the D300 allows for a suprising amount of cropping and still maintain a beautiful image. In this case I wanted to capture the texture of the reflection in the dew and very close range. Since I didn’t have a macro, I capture the image as close as possible then cropped.

Dew Details
Dew Details
Captured this shot this morning while the dew was still on the leaves. Taken with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I love these morning shots especially while the sky is overcast. The awesome part of this image is the detail in the dew drops. The lines are an internal reflection of the texture of the leaf itself. Although this wasn’t taken with a macro lens, the 70-200mm at maximum zoom does a fantastic job of capturing detail.
