Ethereal and Ephemeral



Carobrotus Edulis Drop, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

Close up, the water drops on the heliotropic Carobrotus edulis flowers (a/k/a ice plants) looked ethereal, ephemeral, and pretty in pink.

Photographed with my 200mm f/4 macro lens, positioned on the tripod using the 200mm’s built-in tripod collar, a 36mm extension tube, and the Nikon 6T close-up filter at ISO 100, 1/8 of a second, and f/40 for maximum depth-of-field.
