Captured a water drop coming off of an Icicle as the sun was setting. I love how the ice is lit up along with the water drop not to mention the horizon that can be seen in the single drop. I did add a canvas texture to the photo for enhancement.
Typically, icicles will form when ice or snow is melted by either sunlight or some other heat source (such as heat leaking from the interior of a heated building), and the resulting melted water runs off into an area where the ambient temperature is below the freezing point of water (0 °C/32 °F), causing the water to refreeze. Over time continued water runoff will cause the icicle to grow.
Richard Armstrong, a senior research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, has explained why icicles come in various shapes and sizes. Icicles form on surfaces which might have a smooth and straight, or irregular shape, which in turn influences the shape of an icicle. Another influence is melting water, which might flow toward the icicle in a straight line or which might flow from several directions.[1]
Given the right conditions, icicles may also form in caves (in which case they are also known as ice stalactites). They can also form around salty water sinking from sea ice. These so-called brinicles can actually kill sea urchins and starfish, which was observed by BBC film crews near Antarctica.
It got up to about 90 degrees in Austin today and a nice cool glass of water just hits the spot. This is my first attempt at a water drop shot and I learned a few tricks for next time.
I set the glass on the patio table and clipped a zip lock bag with a small hole above it for a slow drip. I took about 100 shots in 10 minutes. There was around 30 feet of open space behind the glass for some good bokeh.

I did this the other day and used it for my "Intense Feeling" manipulated art. Wanted to put up the original drip page because I really like it.
new series. :-)

“Raindrops are such funny things.
They haven't feet or haven't wings.
Yet they sail throughout he air
With the greatest of ease,
And dance on the street
Wherever they please.”
Sparkling raindrops on huge green tulip leaves after a great cloudburst.

Mr Wattie had just got of the bath and now is drip drying off.I should have some towels handy for them. LOL
Does anyone else remember that "Drip, drip, drop little April showers..." song? I loved that one as a kid.
What does one do in Wallkill on a cold night? Take a picture of a semi-frozen drip - what else. Used two flashes - one upper right behind the drip, another in front. Trying to get the little sparkle thing going.

A boring shot, is just another water drop
It's point of difference, shot from the top
Are you having impact or are you just a drip?
Is your message unique it doesn't need to be hip
A good message will get cut thought, it'll make a splash
But a poor message ripples will flatten after the crash
