Water droplets. I've been wanting to do some water droplet photos for ages and today seemed like the perfect day as it is World Water Day.
Each year on the 22nd of March it's World Water Day. First celebrated in 1993, the day was established by the United Nations to celebrate the importance of freshwater around the globe.
Over 45% of the world's land surface is covered by river basins, and over 75% of all countries have their boundaries within shared river basins.
All around the world events will be held to celebrate freshwater and promote its sustainability, and every year there is a different theme.
From water and our future to sanitation and water scarcity, the day aims to keep us informed, and in a whole host of different ways!
Around the world there will be an array of events, from musical performances to galas, art shows and seminars.
It looks like 2013 is shaping up to be a bigger and better year than ever for raising awareness, because 2013 has also been designated as International Year of Water Cooperation by the United Nations - so why not get involved? Find out all you need to know by dropping by the official website today!
I shot this photo with the shutter set to 1/2000sec and an aperture of f/4.5 and I used the pop up flash on my camera as it is the only flash I have that is synced. The droplets were made from a rubber glove, with a couple of pin holes in the fingers, suspended above a tray of water.
