I really enjoy the lilies in our yard. This is one our daughter gave me. When it first started, there were only about 1 to 3 blooms on it. Now there are well over 30. They are almost out of season, so I thought I should try getting a water drop with the lily. I’ve tried taking pictures of flowers with water drops in front of them before, and had difficulty with them. One or the other would be out of focus. This time, I changed my aperture to 29 (just kept making the aperture smaller until it was the exposure I wanted). This time, the flower and the water drop were both sharper.
Settings: 1/200, f/29, Flash: manual 1/16, Manual focus, No IS, ISO 100
