I took these photos on 10/15/15 at around 7:00 a.m. When letting Kona out in the morning, I saw water droplets on my citrus plants, so I went back into the house and grabbed my camera and 100mm macro lens. I really shoulda grabbed my tripod too, but I was too lazy and didn't have much time anyway. One of these days, I'll do it the right way.
Instead, I held my breath, tucked my arms in, rested the camera on my double chin and clicked, clicked, clicked, hoping that at least a few of the shots would come out clear.
These are the drops that initially caught my eye. There wasn't much light so I set my ISO to 1600. My camera is so da bomb-diggity that noise is not a problem even at 1600.
Huge drops in sweet light . . . make me love taking pictures. 1/1000 at f4.0.
My neighbor's fence can be seen in this drop.

Wow, feels so soothing. Nice!
I love your description, Mich!
Wow! That's awesome Jalna! I love it! Sweet!
No look at the very last pic. The drop on the very bottom right. It looks like it is magnifying a window on your house with white blinds. Do you see the distinct white lines pattern in the drop?
Is that what I am seeing? Your house window?
Look really close!
The only thing that could have made this better is a praying mantis taking a drink! ; ) OK....next time! ; )
Hahahaha . . . "praying mantis taking a drink" . . . you so funny, Mark! It's the neighbor's fence that you see.

Thanks, Dd!
Mark, one trick you can use if you shoot using your left eye . . . rest your camera on your left shoulder.
Thanks, Dean!
At times I do exactly what you do Jalna. I exhale and hold my arms still close to my body. I have shot guns all my life. And I know all about the exhale and the very slight minimum squeeze, with no jerk! <~~the most important! Just like shooting a gun. ; )
HO DA ROCK!!!
Amazing! Looking at your pics doesn't do justice on my iphone, always have to get on my laptop : )
Exactly like dat, Mark!!
