Uncropped version of previous photo
Crop or no crop? Photo made with the Sony MiniDV camera with a close-up lens attached. Exposure on automatic. The Sony camera has a 10X zoom. Too bad the file size is only 640x480. It's sufficient for the internet though.

Fuschia again!
I like the uncropped version. How did you get the drops in mid air?

Those drops were on a spider's web. I may need to get a new digital camera to do more photos like this. The drawbacks with the Sony are the small file size and the lack of a usable manual exposure. The auto focus and auto exposure work pretty well though.
Martin, you've been using that Sony MiniDV for a lot of still pics. What model is it? I have to check it out.

Oh, I took a closer look at the picture, and I can see the litte spider web strands between the water drops. Very cool.

It's a discontinued model Sony DCR-TRV900. It's not perfect for still photos though. The write time to the memory card is about six seconds. But you could record to video and frame grab to the flash card. What I do like is the lens, it's like 10x, at the long end it feels like a 300mm on a 35 camera. A newer model would be better. The problem with most consumer digital cameras is the zoom is 3X or 4X. There are some prosumer digitals with a 10x lens.
