This is lovely. I especially like how each waterdrop magnifies the leaf and it’s veins.

Fabulous. How I would love to learn how to capture that on camera! What camera? What zoom?

Thank you :) I really have no idea what settings were used, except that I had the camera on macro. I haven’t long had the camera, a Canon Power Shot G10, a newly released compact, so I am still learning about it! It is very impressive and there is a lot to learn. Here is the shooting info (I looked it up) Shooting mode: Auto, Tv (shutter speed): 1/100, Av (aperture value): 4.0, Exposure compensation: 0, ISO speed: 80 (auto), Focal length: 6.1mm, White balance: Auto. Hope this helps :)
