Water Drop Fun

What fun! Sitting at my garden table, holding camera in one hand, berries in the other, dipping them in water and trying to find the right height, distance, angle, while squinting through the viewfinder. And all in the seconds before the drop dropped. Multitasking, it felt like. Manual focus, so move the berries, and then the camera to find focus. Oh! That Sony camera did get to feel heavy.

 

Then suddenly all three drops came together, with good images. I'd got it!! Push the button -- Oh B*l*a*h!!! I'd run out of memory. So this one will have to do for the moment.

 

Actually some of the images that appeared on my monitor were much more interesting. Lucky catches of drops just about to drop. Not something I could do deliberately. There was only one flower. (See below.)

 

And I hadn't realised I was also taking pictures of my house.

 

It is more visible Viewed On Black

 

Try it Large On Black to see the fourth refraction between two berries.
