Go inside. I've done it with the 60 macro and a macro extension tube and it's rather effective. But absolutely magical with the 100 2.8 macro plus 2, that's right, 2 extension tubes and you're really inside the water drop. The water drop is it's own lens and within it, there is it's own picture. Albeit, upside down. ;-) A similar effect happens with a dew drop sitting on top of a blade of grass and to catch that with the early morning sun is truly beautiful. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
