Rainy Day...

First go at shooting rain droplets...CC always appreciated...I know they're a little soft, but I still like the graphic look to them...

Very interesting! Are the drops hitting something (looks like a deck rail) or dropping in a puddle? I think I like 1 and 2 the best.

Thanks,

They're hitting my balcony rail that already had a thin layer of water on it...that's why it's kinda reflective...I also took up the contrast a lot in pp. 1 and 2 are my favorites too...I think I might print them and mount them side by side.

It would look neat if you put photos 1, 2, and 3 together as one photo like it looks posted here.

Thanks dogdots!

It's funny you mention that...cause I've been thinking of all sorts of ways to combine these. :scratch

I think that would look great if I took #3 down to the same size as 1 and 2, but I'm wondering if the droplets in 1 and 3 look too similar...Since my camera's in the same place, I would love to get a perfect splash along the whole line, and stitch them together in post...

It's still pouring out right now...and I think it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow...so I hope to have a chance to try again :D

Really no drop looks exactly the same so I'd do it.

I practiced on rain drops a few years back...got soaked and frustrated. Its not easy. Good luck and let us see your finished project :thumb

Hasn't rained this morning too much yet...and not in the right direction, so the drops haven't been landing on the rail...:dunno The sky is a little brighter...still cloudy, but I'm hoping that if it does rain a little, that I can use a lower iso.

Just looked at the radar, and it looks like most of it is NW from where I am...also looks like the twin cities are getting a fair amount of rain today...

Thankfully, I'm shooting from inside my apt.:D but these are all relatively small crops at 200mm.

I'll definitely post the finished project in this thread if it rains again and I get the shots I need. :thumb

Thanks!
