garden wildlife update

Good day ,

Last night after sunset i decided to give the garden some water especially those plants that i have planted and seeded this year.

However some of that water landed on flowers and a complaining neigbour.

So i went inside to grab the camera and make some water drop pictures .

I started with this llittle pink rose originally solld as a white rose but i guess i have to much acid in my soil so they turn pink overtime.

Our green neigbour didn't look so happy with his free shower, he was sittitng on another small rose flower.

the blackbackground is because the photo was taken after sunset so i had to use my flashlight .

i was very happywith the light results using the flash on 1/4 and the camera on iso 400 f8 1/160 shutter speed

getting things in focus was a bit tricky and the wind wasn't really hellping either.
