Finally got a chance to try this.

I've seen a few shots like this, but I don't get a lot of rain. While in Knoxville, I got the chance to try it out. This first one is a cheat as I placed the drop where I wanted it.


This one, I just found in the grass.


C & C welcome. Thanks for looking.

Hi there Donek....photographing water drops can be a lot of fun,
especially if you get a great reflection within the droplets.
Another of those NOT EASY TO DO kind of Macro shots... Skippy (Australia)

I spent about an hour and a half laying in the driveway next to the grass to get the second shot. While I got a lot of shots with something in the drop, I was surprised at how much depth of field was needed to achieve the desired result. I'd really like to get something more of a scene within a scene. I think the first shot does that a bit better, but the drop isn't spherical enough to obtain really good focus.

It's not a cheat if we can't tell you cheated

I like the first shot - those are HARD to do!
