ART UNDER THE LENS TO CAPTURE
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER CORNER AMONG THE DEW DROPS
There are familiar features, there are strange features and very sparkling.
Flowers are one of nature's most beautiful creatures, that's why so many photographers have worked hard to find angles and moments to show off their pure beauty. The author of the set of photos we are about to admire below has created an extremely interesting method: taking photos of flowers refracted through dew drops.

Or the brilliant purple-yellow-red colors "rolling" gracefully in dew drops.
Brian Valentine - a British artist who previously had a PhD in biology. After retiring, he spent most of his time taking care of the flower garden behind his house. Every morning, he walks in his "little paradise", taking pictures of newly blooming flowers or insects there. It was that simple pleasure that brought him to the great passion of his life, which is photography.

Red roses - the queen of flowers.
Brian Valentine's photography method originates from his hobby of watching raindrops or morning dew on the flowers and grass in the garden every morning. When placing the flower behind the water drop, the light passing through the water ball will be refracted, capturing the image of beautiful little flowers. This impressive set of photos brings together many different types of flowers, each with its own extremely beautiful appearance. From wild chrysanthemums to beautiful primroses, through the transparent lens of dew drops, it seems even more brilliant and sparkling.

The set of photos is considered by critics to be "the epitome of macro photography". When taking photos, the flower is placed about 2cm behind the water drop, the refraction phenomenon will cause the image to be slightly distorted, in the opposite direction of the object. The focus stacking technique helps blur the background and the best time to take a photo is when the water drop is full.
It took our photographer 6 years of research and experimentation to perfect this unique method. However, he does not "hide his profession" but is willing to share it with those who love photography. On some photography forums, he also revealed his "secrets" from shooting angles, focus stacking techniques, blurring the background to small tips to make the photo look the most "virtual".

The shape of the blade of grass bending down as the water drops roll over unintentionally creates vivid "characters".
Like eyes looking up "What's going on?".
“You're older, but I'm taller!”
Beauty and the Beast.
“I need a shoulder…”.
The author confided: "This job has helped me see the world around me in a completely new way. With macro photography, every inch of an object is like an amazing world waiting to be discovered." However, the photography technique is not what interests him the most. He shared: “I am proud that all the photos were taken in my own garden. Instead of looking far away, observe the life around you, because many times great things are right next to you.
