This image is quite different from what I have been doing, but I love the way the photo goes in and out of focus and highlighting the rain drops.
Have a good day

My final photo of the day. I am really pleased with my efforts today. It makes up for my lean days but I am learning something new everyday. Today I learnt that it is easier to take macro photographs when I use the 1:1 ratio. I am able to get much closer and still use my auto focus. Going manual is very much a work in progress but I am determined to get to the bottom of it. Thank you to Print Sense Photography for making it so easy to understand the terminology of manual photography.

Aquilegia leaves with rain drops_0001.jpg

This is a very interesting image with the detail of the rain drops. Water does not tend to stay on these aquilegia flowers and I managed to snap these two drops together to make an unusual composition.

White Butterfly on Paris Daisy_0002.jpg

This is the first time I have managed to capture a butterfly. The weather has cooled considerably and the butterflies were slow and lethargic which helped a lot.

Rain drop on weed leaf_0003.jpg

Another interesting photo. The rain drops look like diamonds and almost too big for the leaf.

Sunlit leaves.jpg

One of my photos of the day. I managed to get outside to play with my camera in between showers and I was really pleased with the softness and yet clarity of the leaves in this image.

One of my photos of the day. We finally got some rain today after having no rain since the 4th February. It was lovely going out in the rain and taking photographs.

Fragrant Hour Rose_0008.jpg

I just can’t resist taking photos of roses and this rose was really high and the late evening sun was just touching this rose to create lovely patterns of light and dark.
