Water, Water Everywhere
Recently, I stumbled upon macro photographs a fellow had set up, as if in a studio for an exercise. He explained how to capture the reflection of a flower in a raindrop clinging to a flower of the same kind -- say, a shasta daisy. He intentionally creates the effect he wants by picking flowers and placing them strategically behind a blossom. Then, he drips water.
I mean, come on. It's not that difficult. Why manufacture something that nature has already created?
The challenge is getting a single decent shot. The joy is in the looking for that shot, whether decent or not.

Thanks! I saw the suffering one after taking this, and he seemed to be on the mend. :-)
