Crystal Rain

I was watching the rain come down this morning and I noticed how pretty the drops looked on this tree and how much they looked like jewels.

Beautiful... perfectly named! It almost looks like Christmas lights on a tree... or a chandelier. Wonderful focus. You are doing such a great job with your camera skills and I have reverted to my comfort zone of editing! :)

[katy]

@marilyn Very kind of you to say. I struggled with the focus because the camera wanted to focus on larger objects behind it but I finally got it.

I like your comfort zone of editing because you do such a great job with it!

Fabulous capture, you're right they do look like crystals hanging from the branches - lovely.

[J. Voorberg]

hey..this is much like my shot except yours is unfrozen....nice take

[Brenda]

@marilyn - I thought the very same thing! It *does* look like Christmas lights! Very nice!

[katy]

@jackiew Thank you so much, Jackie. I really appreciate it.

[katy]

@jayberg Thanks, Jay. Maybe that is what inspired me subliminally!

[katy]

@thesandbox5 Thanks so much, Brenda!

[Deb]

I love how the drops are in focus in front and not in back. Nice shot :)

[karenann]

[Steve Hankins]

Great capture!

[Debbi M]

This is perfect in every way. Great DOF, wonderful use of light and I just love it. A fav for me!

[katy]

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb. I appreciate it!

[katy]

@karenann I can't thank you enough my friend!

[katy]

@maggotx I felt good to get these Mag. The camera kept wanting to focus on the scenery behind them. Thanks so much!

[katy]

@hankinsphoto Thank you, Steve. I appreciate it

[Don Roos]

Very nice vision for a great capture.

[katy]

@debbim I am so glad you like it. Thank you very much for the FAV!

[katy]

@grammyn I appreciate it, Don. Thanks so much.

[Anne Hansknecht]

shiny sparkly diamonds on the tree display! great detail and lighting.

[katy]

@annehans Thank you , Anne. I am glad you like it!

[Kathy Burzynski]

Katy this is very nice - love to see the rain rather than snow too.
Little crystal decorations

[Livia]

The little raindrops do look like little jewels! I think it's very pretty. Great shot.

[Darlene]

What a beautiful photo, Katy. Reading above. It sure is worth being persistent to get a shot that you really like. You did it and with the background out of focus and the main part of your photo and detail of it in focus. Nicely done. We are in for quite a storm and I hope I can get some photos of drops or the rain tomorrow. Hope we keep power tonight and tomorrow as the gusts are to be up to 50mph through tomorrow. May have to wait till it passes to capture or attempt to capture anything.

@myhrhelper Thanks, Kathy. We had no snow this year and I really wanted some pretty snow shots but I try to work with what I am given!

[katy]

@myautofocuslife I appreciate it ,Livia. thanks for the view and comment.

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks so much for you nice comments, Darlene! I knew I wanted the shot and couldn't just give up on it. Stay safe and I hope your power stays on so you can post more great shots! Oh, thanks for the FAV too!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Wow,Peter. Thanks so much!

[katy]

@jennwearing Jennifer, That was such a nice thing to say!

[Debbie Orlando]

Nicely captured, Katy! I love the drops. Well done.

[Maeva]

You're right, they really look like jewels. I do not know why but it makes me think of Christmas times.

[katy]

@debsphotos Thank so much, Debbie. I always appreciate your opinion.

[katy]

@maeva Others thought it looked like Christmas too. I think it is because they look a little like lights on the tree.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Perfect focus Katy....sometimes the camera does seem to have a mind of it's own doesn't it?...just love this...so pretty and delicate!!!

[katy]

@ruthmouch Thanks so much, Ruth. I am glad you like it!

[Jen]
