Thanks for the comment! In this case some times you just get lucky. This is from my front yard, I was trudging thru the snow on my way to the mail box one warmer winter morning (January 16th) and the snow/ice was thawing from my pine tree.
I caught a glance of the glimmering water drops in the sun and said to my self "screw the mail that will be gone in 20 minutes". Hand held with the 70-200, F8 1/250, luck and ISO400. Paul A.
