Many of you know that I love to take photos of raindrops and dewdrops. These are two of my favorite “drop shots.” The second week of Sally’s D’s Mobile Photography Challenge features macro photography. Feel free to join in if you take photos with a “non-camera” camera.
This, that and the other thing 
I love drop shots – these are beautiful Janet.
Thanks, Dan. I keep taking more and more drop shots, as each one seems more beautiful than the last. 🙂 Good thing I don’t live in the desert!
Janet, they are great subjects for macro week. They also are challenging, but you’ve created two engaging captures, each having a sense of that free fall of droplets. Happy Photo Challenge.
Good morning and happy Monday, Sally. I love the shots where the water appears ready to drop at any instant and I’ve missed some shots where they’ve dropped while I was getting ready for the shot. 🙂

Exquisite. I’d be impressed if your photos were from a high powered camera, but a phone? I don’t know how you do it. Maybe my monkey-self can’t hold that still! LOL.
Really. You’re remarkable. Eye and hand.
Phone cameras are amazing, Janet. I’ve had to take photos over and over to get what I want and sometimes I never get it. Sometimes I get home where I can see the photos on a larger screen and find they’re just out of focus. 🙂 I hear the 6 and 6s have even better cameras, but my budget won’t allow for a new camera right away again (and my thrifty nature.)

You had me at water drops – GORGEOUS captures! 🙂
Thanks, Joanne! I confess to being a water drop photo addict and have no intention of getting intervention, just more and, hopefully, better photos.

Sounds like a plan to me – I shall be here for each and everyone one of them for sure! 🙂
Absolutely wonderful photos. I can’t decide which I like better, so they are both equal 🙂 I love how I can see the big drops and also the tiny little drops.
Liking them equally is just fine, Iris. 🙂

They’re both gorgeous photos, Janet. It’s intriguing to look at the drops and see reflection in some and abstract images in others. Lovely!
The reflections are some of the things I like most about drop photos. So interesting to see what’s there.
janet
Love both, and really like the line in the second one!
Mary, the twist in the leaf is one of the things that really caught my attention and gave “more” to the photo than drops on a flat surface.

So beautiful.
Thanks very much, Raewyn.

I like the fine droplets on the green background of the first photo. We got a light rain for a few hours today and it felt like your photos look.

It’s amazing when you get close to a leaf or flower how many tiny, tiny droplets there are, on every little hair.

The second image is my fav for sure – I was looking at the nice clarity in the first shot – and when I scrolled to the second – the twist and energy was a nice follow – I like the term drop shots – and so many little reflections/refractions 💦💦
Thanks. Glad you liked them.
janet
Stunning!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed them.

OMG, Janet, what amazing photography!! I’m working on getting a camera with a macro lens. Just love these techniques!
Thanks, Terri. These were taken with my iPhone, but I want to get a macro lens for my Nikon.
janet
Well, that gives me hope with my Samsung Galaxy phone. Yours looks fabulous; I need to take a lesson with my own phone 🙂
Fabulous rain drops. Pretty amazing for a smart phone any special app?
No app. Just phone and subject.

Gorgeous Janet! 🙂 We haven’t had hardly any rain in months and it is hopefully coming our way today.
Nicole, except for the berries (in red and orange), there’s very little color in the park these days. Still brings peace to my soul, though, however bland. 🙂
I know the feeling! It is awfully brown here now. 🙂
Fantastic droplets, Janet. It is a skilled capture and the composition is very good.
Thanks, Lucile. Your comments always brighten my day.
