It Rained

I wonder, if I'd used that tripod-thingy-whatsit, I could have had a nice clear refraction of the cyclamen behind?

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful!

[katy]

Why don’t you give it a go and find out? Think this is magnificent though!

[Anne]

Beautiful raindrops Jackie

[Mary Siegle]

Could be, could be. But you got a beautiful photo anyway.

[Mags]

Soft light and lovely drops!

[wendy frost]

Great raindrops capture with pink.

[Merrelyn]

Maybe, but only if there wasn't the slightest breath of wind. Still a lovely image.

[LManning (Laura)]

I love the way this becomes almost abstract. Beautiful.

[Susan Wakely]

I love the softness of it which may not be there if you had used the thingy-whatsit.

[moni kozi]

This is gorgeous as it is.
For a refraction, shouldn't you have shot closer? I have no idea. I never did refraction. I'm just imagining things.

[JackieR]

@monikozi its a 100mm lens, so limited in closeness!
@wakelys true
@ljmanning many thanks
@merrelyn wind always gets up as i'm about to press the shutter
@wendyfrost thank you wendy
@marlboromaam soft light=dull day!!
@mcsiegle thank you
@365anne many thanks
@grammyn thank you! why don't I find out- laziness!!
@jacqbb thank you

[Carole Sandford]

Very pretty! Would it not be down to your settings rather than an anti wobble stick?

[JackieR]

@carole_sandford no, I don't think so. I had such a wide aperture and was crouching on my toes camera shake is very prominant. Probably needs to be set up in a studio, with decent lighting and angle- and it's a shame to remove these from the garden to die!

[moni kozi]

But it is very much in Jo's style. Very very nice.

[JackieR]

@monikozi gosh, so it is, but she never had dark areas

[moni kozi]

Dark areas? I'm not sure what you mean... i don't see the dark areas in yours.

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful close up

[Annie-Sue]

anything's possible - give it a go!!

[summerfield]

did you mean a gorilla pod?

[Kathy A]

This is lovely, those drops are a wonderful shape

[FBailey]

So very pretty

[Kathy]

Beautiful silver, pink and white drops.

[Carrie Shepeard]

This is an excellent shot. The detail of the water drops, the subtle lighting, the color….everything is great. Fav!

[Shutterbug]

I can’t answer your question, but I think you have a really nice capture without that. Gorgeous shot.

[Cazzi]

I love this, the subtle pinks and gorgeous droplets. Fav!

[Valerie Chesney]

Glorious raindrops & beautiful subtle colours..

[haskar]

Lovly raindrops and tones.

[JackieR]

@summerfield no I have a 6" Manfrotto, but too idle to use it

@haskar @happysnaps @serendypyty @shutterbug49 @cashep19 @randystreat @fbailey @kjarn @anniesue @joansmor @monikozi

Thank you all, I must practice more with the macro lens and find it's real potential
