Beautiful images Brian!

Have you ever considered making a calendar from your dew drop refractions?

Very nice, lovely colour. You should do the same with your bees John, a calendar. Wouldn't have the same appeal but .... You never know.

Hi Brian,
that first image looks so good, it looks like it has to have been a composite from photoshop. . . outstanding quality!
Is this tripod work or hand held with your 'stick'

Thanks Mark and Bruce for the comments

Bruce - not either- these are basically taken on the ground- just rest the lens on my hand on the ground or sometimes I use some pipe sections to rest the lens on- depends on when I last cut the grass

Thanks for the comments all

- appreciated

Hotspur- using an MPE-65 - you really need to be shooting at 2:1 or higher for these dewdrops.

Martine - No they are natural "early morning" dewdrops on grass blades - tutorial here
