Two months ago I had a real eye-opening photographic experience.
I always search for mushrooms as photographic subjects when the insects start to disappear in autumn. When I find two in line, I take pictures with one in focus, and the second blurred in the background.
But this was something speciel, which really got me exited when I discovered it:
5D, sigma 180, 360 mm, iso400, f/45, 1/12 s, uncropped.
Crop of the picture above.
Here is what I originally thought I was lying on the ground for. Surely I had to move closer and add the tele-converter, when I realised I could see one mushroom in the waterdrop hanging on the other.
I had to use this small apperture of f/45, or the edge of the nearest mushroom would get so blurred that the drop would nearly be hidden.
5D, sigma 180, 180 mm, iso 200, f/9, 1/400 s, uncropped.
Hope at least some of my exitement over this finding will reach you :-)
cheers

Marvelous! Outstanding!
And this is not just ordinary reflection (mirror) effect but lens effect. The picture inside drop is upside down!
The waterdrop served as lens.

The meaning of beauty is in sharing with others.
