I have fallen in love with macro photography! Learning how to take pictures of a reflection in a tiny water drop was a ton of fun. I was so excited when I got crisp images. I had a lot of fun with the purple flowers, trying to get really close and crisp reflections. See my other post on Macro Photography: Close-Up Greenery for a few more pictures of the water drop reflection type of images.
For this, I realized how important it was to use an auxiliary light. That light helped the water drop get that reflection. Without it, the image didn’t turn out quite right and didn’t give it that reflection. I was also using an 18-135mm lens with one macro extension tube. It made getting really close shots possible.
