Refracting Dew Droplets
I’ve always wanted to take pictures of refracting dew droplets, but thought I had to wait until I had a super strong macro lens. Of course there is a digital simulation of a macro lens in my pocket camera, but I hadn’t thought it would be strong enough to get so close.
I was tramping about in the snow with my daughter, and noticed her taking close ups of the branches in the sun where there was some melting going on. She was actually capturing water droplets, but not the reflection.
I decided to try some shots of refracting dew droplets. The macro lens simulation on my pocket camera couldn’t get in very close, but I discovered it was taking clear pictures from about six inches away. I came home and cropped this one to zoom up even closer, and discovered I had captured the exact image I had wanted in the droplet!
Now that I know I can get refracting dew droplets with the macro lens setting on my pocket camera I’ll be having a barrel of fun with it!
