Refracting Dew Droplets

dewdrop11I’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!

Are You Using Your Camera’s Full Potential?

details1
I’ve spent what seems like hundreds of hours pouring over my camera manual and was still having huge issues getting my macro to focus.

Just now I spent a happy half hour at www.dpreview.com and learned more about how to use my camera, and how to overcome it’s specific problems than I had in several hours reading the manual that came with it.

I have a Casio Exilim 7.2. The review I read was for an older model, but I now know which ISO is best for most pictures, what setting for the sharpness, saturation and contrast gives the most professional and tweak-able results, and how to take the clearest possible close-ups with this particular camera. What a relief!

I highly recommend bumping over there and checking to see if your camera has been reviewed. You’ll save yourself hundreds of hours of trial and error.

Macro Lens

Macro Lens

50 mm f1.8, Canon II is famous for the legendary sharpness and ultra fast f1.8 optics. If someone wants to have both the lighter and cheaper to EF lenses, can be obtained from canon. He seems to be made of cheap plastic and the lens mount. The goal that you feel like a cheap toy in his hand. You surprised that after putting on his camera as if there was nothing.

Is the lighting and the shorter the lens brought to you by Canon. Many You and I make sure that the plastic lens mount is sufficient for strength. In this view, there is a distance window. A micro motor units AF. It will be fine in good light and is useful for slow moving subjects.

This is a fast lens with maximum aperture of f/1.8. In this lens, not only using five aperture blades are not rounded.

If you have the Mark I and Mark II can see where they differ. The sharpness of the 50mm f1.8 is, different zoom lens I used before and is not really a game compared with him. The lens 50 should not be flexible to zoom. On the other hand, it will be useful when you move your feet. DSLR is a fact that is equivalent to 80 mm lens. With this objective may shoot at any party or group, because the combined weight of the platform is like a point.

When is your single lens is not recommended for me to celebrate the 50 mm ingenious. But as a beginner, you can start with this. If you want to buy it budget, I recommend you buy and you do not feel any weight when carrying. And you get to be very useful when you are working with him. You can shoot indoors with this goal with ease. You can shoot in low light where flash photography is unnecessary. It will be convenient for a photographer working in adverse conditions. It is a potential opportunity for users who want to see close to disposable lens. Begins to feel as it has fast lens.

You should not worry about its quality construction. The only fact, the optics are really fantastic. I do not think that will easily break. You can go far if breaks after a couple of years. Can be replaced without feeling shame.
