It's all natural baby! (No processing) I took this one through my car window while waiting at a red light. Just cropped it to square and got a nice abstract out of it. Okay, I did apply a tiny tiny bit of Orton effect to it. Really tiny.

This image was taken for the "Abstract" challenge in the Active Assignment Weekly group.
Unfortunately, the challenge said that there had to be two different elements, so all my other droplet pictures are out. Fortunately, both the droplets (milk) and the grain of the paper are visible, so this counts. These are drops of milk on a piece of glass on top of red paper. It was very difficult to get the droplets onto the glass without smearing them or making them too big.
The lighting on this was fun, but challenging. I triggered my off-camera flash (which is behind the droplets on camera left) with the flash on my camera (go Nikon!). You can see the reflection of my camera's flash as a tiny dot in the droplets on the bottom left. The strobe had to be at a relatively low angle so that there wouldn't be any reflection on the glass.
Leica x1
Shot just two hours ago in Downtown Bellevue.
you never know what's behind a fountain when it comes to finding a good photo angle. i was convinced i was going around it in a useless way, but after only two shots i found an interesting framing and snapped just a few. it's fascinating how the x1 teaches you to go around, move around to find a shot. it's a very experimental approach in a way, based on happy accidents and coincidences. suddenly the compo pops, or even "jumps" to your eyes.
the same can be said with any prime lenses and straightforward systems like the x1 or the fuji x100 i suppose.
oh, and i have 200 shots in Explore!
thanks to all for your support, i wish i could comment streams as much as people comment mine. i feel i'm never able to catch up.
