Description
This is a capture of a rain drop on my bachelor button wildflowers........................
Some fun facts: Raindrops are never the tear shaped objects beloved of illustrators. Small raindrops are kept strongly spherical by surface tension forces. Larger drops are sometimes flattened by air resistance as they fall and they may even oscillate or wobble. Even small departures from sphericity destroy a rainbow or possibly cause some odd effects.Reflections are simply there for everyone, amateurs or professionals, though there will be no reflections in a raindrop without a reflected image.
There is no secret there and it has nothing to do with processing either.Each droplet reflects its surroundings, so in each of them you can find many different reflections by simply changing the angle you look at it.A water drop is a spherical mirror which shows the reflective image inverted compared to the object (in this case).
To capture reflections in a raindrop you have to look for it unless you have serious knowledge of geometric optics.My name is Peggy ,My passion is Photography of wildlife and nature of all sorts, My Love is for animals, So I combine them both!
