Water Droplets on a Leaf

Posted June 19th, 2008 by Jason

I took this shot in the afternoon right after a quick rain. Thought there would be great opportunities for some macro shots of water droplets on leaves.

Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/10 EV

Captured it in RAW (ARW) on my A100 with the 50mm f2.8 Macro, then edited the photo in photoshop CS2 (camera raw for exposure, and then some curves, levels, and unsharp mask). It just didn't come out looking as sharp/contrasty as I was hoping. Looks like there's a gray film over it.
