This is my first shot from Canon 7D. I have tried capturing the water droplet once in the past, but the previous time it did not turn out too well. This time, I think i have gotten a little better, but there are a few things I could correct in this shot: avoid the flash shining in the part of a picture and use the macro lens for such photos (the douche-bag that I am, I forgot I had a macro lens with me! With the camera being new, I got completely carried away and took this shot with the Sigma 18-200mm lens!).
The setup I used for this shot was very simple: Had a big bowl half-filled with water in my wash basin and a sheet of color paper in the background and aimed the camera using a tripod. Adjusted the sharpness using Gimp.
This onion sprouted in the kitchen and lived a happy life for a few months, until its reserves were gone. My wife tried to teach it some philosophy, but the knowledge couldn't get past the outer layers.
I was waiting for Olympics closing ceremony and had nothing to do. And started to shoot some staff in my room. So I found this gzhel horse.
Ждала церемонию закрытия Олимпийских игр и не знала чем заняться. Начала фотографировать все подряд в своей комнате и нашла вот эту лошадку «Гжель».

While I was shooting that cactus flower in the hot house at the botanical gardens, kneeling in a plant bed, I hear from behind me, "Don't bother that nice man, honey." I look up to see this child about a foot away from me. I smile at him and he says, "Hi!"
"Hi!" I reply. "How are you today?"
"Okay. What's that?"
"That's called a 'tripod'. My camera can attach right up here."
"What's that?" he asks, pointing to another place.
"That's my camera bag. All my equipment is in there."
"What's that?"
"That's a big lens in it's case."
"What's that?"
"That's a strap to hold the lens to the bag. Hey. How about I take your picture, huh?" I look up at his mother and ask if it's okay. Since I had my close-up lenses on I made him practically stick his nose into my lens.
Of course the first thing I noticed about this child was the pattern of stuff on his face. He must have pressed up against something dirty with a texture of some sort. I left the snot and scab and all the rest unretouched as well. Why not?
Closeup of the mosaic pattern of the wing cut from pieces of porcelain tile. The base of the entire dragonfly was cut from pieces of granite then the porcelain pieces were glued on mesh then thinset on the granite to provide a good base for weather conditions.
