Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth…water droplet

Posted: January 30, 2015 in Nature, Weekly Photo Challenge
Tags: macro photography, Nature, postaday, Weekly Photo Challenge, Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth

How can it be the end of the first month of 2015 already? Yet here we are, participating in the last Weekly Photo Challenge of January. The theme this week is “Depth.” I love the depth seen in the drop of rain in the photo I’m sharing and of course, that meant adjusting the depth of field as well. I hope your January has been wonderful and that February is even better.

    It is incredible. I have a similar photo made with a mirrorless camera and see yours is not much different!!
    Amazing!! 😉

Janet, this is incredible. Such depth. Kind of reminds me of a snow globe.
- sustainabilitea says:

  What a good comparison, although I don’t think shaking this would turn out well. 🙂

Love it! I have a similar dewdrop on a magnolia taken quite a few years ago, and not as sharp!!
- sustainabilitea says:
  
  January 30, 2015 at 11:32 am
  
  It took some time, as the iPhone camera doesn’t always want to focus on the little things. It prefers the big background. But persistence won the day.

    You are a very patient lady, Janet. It’s amazing! I tried to take a photo with my iPhone yesterday and couldn’t get it focus no matter what I did ;-( After 5 tries, I gave up 😉 Great job! Helen
  - sustainabilitea says:
    
    January 30, 2015 at 12:39 pm
    
    Ahh, Helen, I’ve had to give up before, too. Sometimes it takes me several minutes before I get what I want; sometimes I don’t get it at all.

  Thanks a lot, Sandra. I’m frustrated right now by people who don’t tag their entries “Weekly Photo Challenge” and then the entry won’t come up in the reader. If I include “Depth”, I get all sorts of other posts as well. Sigh.
  
  Happy travels!

  Dave, both a digital camera and a phone with a good camera are useful, but I find for me at this time, the phone camera is better as I can carry it with me all the time and get lots more shots that way. I have a digital, but only take it out occasionally. Thanks for your visit and comment and all the best with your choice.

  The photo challenge gets lots of views, Jo, but lots of those people aren’t “friends”, just visitors, which is fine, too. Even most people who follow the blog rarely check in. That’s why I value those of you who do so highly. It’s never too late for a new friend. And yes, there are too many who’ve disappeared.
