Nice shot Arlon, the old "crown effect".

I have been looking at refracted images in dewdrops lately. I also had a look at your images on PBase. I was wondering how some of your images would look, especially DSC_0100, for example, with a refracted image within the drops??

Brian (Lord V)has left a trail of info HERE

Craig, I have a few of those in HERE.. These where done before I learned about CombineZM. Been doing some stuff with stacking but haven't taken the time to really set up something for stacking. That will require a tripod and focus rail which I just haven't really taken time to set up.

Arlon, You have some special images in that group. I particularly like "Macro of whole tree..." There are others, but that one really made me stop and look...

Thanks for the comments. When we start getting some flowers and showers, I'll certainly be having combineZM on my mind..

WOW, those are some really nice images. And the milk drop is quite nice too. I always wanted to try stuff like that but don't really have the lighting setup and system required to do so. Want to explain how you did the droplet shot (maybe in the discussion group instead of here).

It surely didn't take any special equipment. I'll try finding a post where I explained it on another forum and C/P to a new discussion.

Beautiful picture Arlon. Makes me want to make the sound "ker-plunk" Very sharp.

I'm thinking "sploosh" myself :-)
