Ride the Green Wave

Uploaded: November 05, 2009

Description

Always on the lookout for water droplets! These were somewhat hidden, so I had to partially lay down in the (soaking wet) flower bed. Not the best conditions for shooting handheld, but I should be getting used to it!

The 'rainbow' in the BG is from the same plant as my old 'Spots & Stripes' image.

Exif: Model: NIKON D80

Good for you! This is super! I never seem to get any good water drops. #1200965

Nikki McDonald level-classic November 05, 2009

This is just lovely, Tess. The droplets are razor sharp and crystal clear, the leaf's curve is graceful, and the "rainbow" background takes it over the top.
Hope you were at least lying down on a garbage bag -- I carry one in my camera bag for such occasions :) #8105417

Tess L. Yee November 05, 2009

I really do appreciate every single fabulous comment you guys & gals leave behind!

Mitch, I would love to say I'm prepared when I toss on the Nikon, but shooting is the one thing in my life that I just 'let happen'!

Patricia, of the 100+ images currently in my BP gallery, I think I've used a tripod on 5 (at most, 6). I'm lazy about that. Criminally lazy! #8106142
