Rain, rain, rain.
So on with the waterproofs, and out finding some brambles with water droplets on.
I find using the Sony Peaking colour red to be the best for the droplets, using the Focus magnifier.
Use Manual focus and move the camera closer to the flower until the area you want turns red.
Holding it steady at 1/25 a sec is very difficult, so I attached the Godex Flash and used that, but still my keeper rate was poor.
The few I did get will be OK for now, but I will have to more homework and practice to get amazing results.

I am 63 years old and and since a boy have had an interest in wildlife and in particular birds. I help my Dad with the rearing of young finches and other birds. I had many small birds as pets and as i got older and joined the Military i purchsed my first Camera, and fold out Kodak. Over a 22 year period i enjoyed many countries outside the uk and observed many species of birds. When i left the military in 2000, i bought my first digital camera a Canon 450D with a Tamron 70-300 and started my journey on capturing images of birds and animals. I quickly learned that there was a lot more to getting a good image of a bird, so i started to research the best settings for my camera in order to capture a better image. Over a 12 month period i realised that needed to invest in a better camera and lens and after research bought a Canon 50D and a 100-400 Lens. It was 2013 when i really got to grips with the setup and came across a lovely Short Eared Owl. From that meeting i started to concentrate on Owls as they fasinated me. From Canon to Olympus i recently jumped ship again to Sony. The variety of birds i have captured over a 10 year period is vast and at present i have a wildlife hide in lancashire where most of my images are captured.
