“Key West Sunset in a Droplet”
The sunset show in the refraction of the droplet is one of my photographs taken in Key West, Florida, set upside down to make it appear on the right side in the drop. A bunch of flowers close to the main one appeared in the drop too. There is no post-processing. Only exposure adjustment.
It’s taken with a Sony NEX-5T with Sigma 60mm f/2.8 ART and viltrox 26mm tubes: 60mm, f/4.5, 1/4 sec, 100 ISO
Also, if some of you are interested to know how to do it, as an editor at iLHP, I wrote a tutorial here

These are seriously badasss this week. Look at how sharp that 135mm is- never gets old.
Both images captured with the 135 mm 1.8 and the much maligned (by bloggers here) A99 are simply amazing! Well done photographers.
Maligned mostly by people who do not own it.
When I started in photography, way back in 1976, a 135mm was one of the two lenses I only had. When doing portraits I still rack out my 70-200 to the long end. 135 is a great focal length for human body representation onto film… that being a sensor nowadays.
I know photokina just happened but are there any announcements for photoplus expo next month?
Sony will have their own expo. Just wait 🙂
get ready for the curvy sensor 🙂
Great photo’s…..Thanks.
I really like 2 photos of 2 kinds I never generally like: the portrait by Blaise, and the sunset in a droplet by Marcel.
These are all very worthy shots–except for the subject-matter of the obviously pretentious and over-compensating, self-described and self-branded “artist” “Thorn”, which makes me want to hurl.
Other than that, very fun stuff, even the QX1 shot.
Thanks a lot! I have a whole series with droplets if you want to see:

Per the intellectual property article yesterday (which wouldn’t have been useful even 10 years ago) these photos were all “sold” to Facebook for free, by photographers who don’t value their work.
If your photography is so worthless that you are willing to give it to Mark Zuckerberg, in perpetuity, to monetize, why would I ever consider paying for it?
And that’s why you won’t find any of mine entered…
just put incorrect metadata on your photos and this renders them unusable irrespective. of how Zukerberg wants people like me (I’m a web application developer in the online advertising industry) to (mis)use your content. The only way we could ever use your photos is by tricking you to putting in correct metadata (geotagging and telling us the name of everyone in the photo being the best by far).. Change the geolocation to Alaska and tell us nobody is in the photo, and we will never use your content because we can’t machine-scrape any useful data that tells us when to use it. Oh, and don’t put full resolution images up. Zukerberg only has rights for the individual digital copy you upload and not the original.
I wrote a rather long blog post on this some time ago, still relevant: http://howgreenisyourgarden.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/on-instagram-and-ownership-an-advertisers-viewpoint/ Read from ‘Social media: advertiser gold dust’ onwards.
I have many famous celebrities in my portfolio, the method you describe doesn’t work for them because they can be face detected.
