307: Watery Lens

Noticed on my spectacles after coming in from walking in the drizzle; this light distribution of droplets form a pleasing contrast when the lens they lie on forms two distinct bright and dark tones underneath.

216: Web Droplets

A spider's web provides a very good medium for raindrops to attach to. This one was almost parallel to the ground, attached to the base of a plant pot. I wasn't looking for one, but it was easy to notice due to its shininess - quite like a sheet of bright jewels hovering above the ground.

Settings: f/8, 1/5, ISO 100, 50mm Cosinon M42, 19mm extension, beanbag.

133: Squash Leaf Droplets

The tiny hairs on this squash leaf hold the water very securely; it sticks fast to the surface. I expect most of this water will have evaporated before it has had the beginnings of a chance of slipping down.
The camera JPEG was already very good, but when compared to the RAW it lacked a little brightness and colour, so I put it through RT as usual, making next to no adjustments.

Settings: f/5.6, 1/180, ISO 100, Cosinon 50mm f/1.8, 26mm extension, 1/4 flash, white reflector, tripod.
