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.

077: Condensation

These water drops have formed on the inside of a windowsill propagator. I have managed to get a wide range of grey tones all across this photo, but the background was white. The flash was bounced down, but it didn't hit much of the background. I like the result.
I had to do quite a lot of clone-stamp correction on this, as there were some moulding lines and an adhesive tape mark that I couldn't make out with normal vision.

Settings: f/5.6, 1/180, ISO 100, 50mm M42, 87mm extension, 1/4 flash, foil reflector.
