Pearls

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted February 16, 2014335 views5 comments

On a beautiful morning last October everything was covered in dew. I didn't know what to shoot first! I noticed some spiderwebs on bridge railing, so I was going to try and shoot some dew covered webs. Not easy to get a whole web in focus! I cropped the sharpest part of the image.

Beautifully done, Ellen. I captured something similar to this last fall. I agree with you about the focus - every slightest breeze would throw off the focus, and adding dof only brings in the bg. You did a great job capturing and processing this.

This is a lovely collection of dew drops. They are amazingly well spaced and equally sized and the background adds some wonderful warmth.
