Macro Photos: Rain Drops Leaf

Rain drops on a leaf, Chaumont, NY Sonny a6000 Camera, Minolta 50mm f2.8 lens.

It rained overnight here in Chaumont, NY leaving some nice raindrops on the leaves in our yard. I can't help myself but to try photographing them. I used a Sony a6000 camera with a Minolta 50mm f2.8 lens. Hand held. The photo presented heroes number 52 out of 68 total.

The sun is out today. A guy from Bartlett's heating, Adams, is in the basement cleaning & tuning our oil burning furnace. 

Later I'm going to Fibinacci Art Gallery in Watertown for an event from 5-7:00

Our furnace cleaning and tune up came tp $206. 28

Bill for oil furnace cleaning and tune up.

I snapped this photo of raindrops on a leaf on August 24, 2022. It was in the driveway of our home in Chumont, NY. I used a sony a6600 camera with a Minolta 50mm, f2.8 macro lens. I see these raindrops and leaves constantly this time of year. I am always drawn to photographing them, but am never really pleased with the results. I want more detail, and I want it sharper. Macro phoography requires good equipment and patience to set it up. Focus and depth of field are the challenges. A tool I do nt own that is very helpful is a focusing rail. The camera attaches to the rail, the rail is mounted on a tripod. Now the camera & lens can be moved incrementally to assist in fine focusing. 

The picture presented here was hand held.
