Flowers in the garden

[Ken Rennie]

After weeks of drab, wet, cloudy and windy weather Spring almost arrived today. The wind died down, but didn't stop and the sun came out after a light frost. These are 3 different crops from a series of 34 focus stacked images using the auto focus stacking capabilities of the A7RV and a Sigma 105mm macro lens. The dew was just visible on the crocus but looking closely I was surprised by the patterns produced by the dew. I may get the same conditions tomorrow morning and if so I will be back out but will zoom right into 1 to 1 and see if I can see more detail and patterns in the tiny "dew balls". Ken

I may have over sharpened this version

Awesome detail! Love those closeups, but also the wider image. Dew on flowers is so special.

I was about to write you and see what's happening over in your corner of the world, so it's great to see you posting Ken.

I love the tiny droplets of dew on these crocuses. I have the same variety of them as you do but most of the time water droplets are much larger than this. This is almost like miniature bubble wrap

Beautiful look at these flowers with the dew drops.
