Raindrops are falling..... by maggiemae

Raindrops are falling.....

Getting inspiration from other photographs sometimes works then maybe helps the imagination! A challenge here from my camera on macro and I’m getting there. Introduced some light from the side on my homemade light box and decided this was my photo for the day! Now I didn’t have to go out!

Three good things:
1. being able to sleep in after a night of disruptive sleep. Why do we think about things in the middle of the night - we don’t need to!
2. Not run out of yoghurt - so necessary on our porridge.
3. Glad the media continues to publicise the awful consequences of drugs!
I like this fav

Super shot! Fav.
To many raindrops today in the NL. We are supposed to have spring, but it looked like autumn.
May 19th, 2015  
Really well shot and edited, Maggiemae. love it!
May 19th, 2015  
@gijsje Its that time of the year where weather is almost the same on both sides of the world!
May 19th, 2015  
Interesting drops of water and dof.
May 19th, 2015  
Nice shot of the rain without having to get wet!
May 19th, 2015  
Beautiful. Should have you on the pp three in a Row! It deserves to be in my book.
May 19th, 2015  
@ubobohobo Thank you Margaret - I feel very privileged to have had my last two on PP when there are so many really good photos out there!
May 19th, 2015  
lovely image!
May 19th, 2015  
Cleverly done to really good results! And you didn't have to get wet!
May 19th, 2015  
@taffy I did actually, Taffy - the water seemed to go all over the place including me!
May 19th, 2015  
Beautiful comp and POV!
May 19th, 2015  
Love the droplets. very clear.
May 19th, 2015  
Beautifully done Maggiemae -- rain and hail here too today in the UK -- so cold for mid May ! --it should be t-shirt time now !!!
May 19th, 2015  
Really lovely Maggie; did your lightbox not get wet? I keep meaning to make ne but as usual never get round to it.
May 19th, 2015  
@callymazoo Yes, it did, Cally but its glossy cardboard so dries easily!
May 19th, 2015  
This is great, love the tones and the frame too.
May 19th, 2015  
Love the frame the colour and the raindrops
May 19th, 2015  
this shot is quite engaging with those water droplets and the soft light about it. great work, maggiemae.
May 19th, 2015  
Impressive capture of that slender blade of grass supporting that huge drop.
May 19th, 2015  
Awesome shot
May 19th, 2015  
Lovely delicate work - like the coat hanger angles and everything. Sorry I haven't delivered on the poem yet. I have been hunting for the photo in my archives that sparked it and I got dreadfully sidetracked.
May 19th, 2015  
@snaphappi Being side-tracked occupies most of my day, Maggie!
May 19th, 2015  
Nicely done, soft image
May 19th, 2015  
I like your achievement. this is definitely a fav. and hope it makes he PP.
May 20th, 2015  
Beautiful shot. We've been having a lot of rain on our holiday.
May 20th, 2015  
Congratulations! As predicted by others you have made it to the PP! A very where the shot indeed!
May 20th, 2015  
@grammyn Wow! I'm about to preen! Thanks Katy - I've got lots of friends who support me!
May 20th, 2015  
@maggiemae LOL preen away madam!
May 20th, 2015  
I love your photo, Maggiemae. Such pretty drops. How we need rain here. You are doing great with your macro setting and the lighting you are working with. FAV
May 20th, 2015  
it's fun when we use our heads to get a picture instead of processing.
May 20th, 2015  
Lovely capture ...
May 20th, 2015  
Water drop is really lovely..beautifully composed. Nice bokeh as well.
May 20th, 2015  
You caught them nicely
May 20th, 2015  
Just beautiful. Fav.
May 20th, 2015  
Hahaha love your comment about thinking during the night - that has been my week so far!
Great droplets.
May 20th, 2015  
This is beautiful, and so nicely framed too. Lovely.
May 20th, 2015  
Love the droplets. Very effective and pretty shot Maggie. I get all my best ideas in the middle of the night but when daylight dawns I usually realise they are quite impractical for various reasons!
May 20th, 2015  
Love the light & focus on those gorgeous droplets.. Fav
May 20th, 2015  
@thistle I tell myself that in the middle of the night but sometimes the brain goes amok!
May 20th, 2015  
@dibzgreasley Got to take deep breaths and relax and know that you imagination absolutely shines in the night but is not practical!
May 20th, 2015  
Wonderful capture...Fav
May 20th, 2015  
Looks lovely. Inspiration from others is wonderful here, isn't it?
May 20th, 2015  
@pitasmum You go to PP and the photos there seem so sophisticated! It is something to strive for - if you want to!
May 20th, 2015  
A very interesting and artful composition.
May 20th, 2015  
Simply beautiful composition afav
May 20th, 2015  
Great focus.
May 20th, 2015  
Well worth the effort. Fav. I don't have the patience to lie down on a sun bed doing nothing, either.
May 20th, 2015  
@sangwann Whats a sun bed got to do with it Dione! I don't like to take a nap in the afternoon as it wastes too much time!
May 20th, 2015  
Perfect focus!
May 20th, 2015  
I like the combination of lines and drops.
Where does all the rain come from. These last three days I've had to where flippers and a snorkel just to get to the car!
May 20th, 2015  
nice one; I would never have guessed that this was indoors
May 20th, 2015  
Lovely image with nice lighting.
May 20th, 2015  
Love how you've caught the droplet.
May 20th, 2015  
Lovely shot, good reflection in the water drop too
May 20th, 2015  
A beautifully composed shot, very calming;
