Light-Droplets in the Tree

·113 words·1 min

This December has been very warm and windy, a lot of rain has taken the little snow we had and mostly washed it away. Not very good for all that have been looking forward to using skies and sleighs, but there is very little we can do with that.

Yesterday morning it had been raining all night and the trees were full of little droplets bouncing the sun rays through, giving this larch tree a bit of Christmas sparkle! Sadly I was not able to get a short when the effect was at max (as I was still in bed with my morning coffee!) but it is clearly visible in these shots as-well.

Since we have been travelling around the world for many years with my family and for work I have seen many wonderful places. Grand Canyon is by far one of the more magnificent sites I have seen. This summer on my family roadtrip with a rented RV we visited the south rim of the canyon in early July.

So when I was in the US I got some extension tubes for my Canon camera and this gives the opportunity to take extreme closeups with any standard lens. This is a “cheat” to turn any lens into a macro lens. Very well, I have tested with both my 18-250mm and the 50mm 1.4 and they both work great for macro shots. The 50mm is much more light sensitive and that means you need to go very close for the nice shots and that does not always work well with for instance insects and similar.
