Rain & Dew - Vertical Close Up




F-Stop: f/5
Shutter Speed: 0.3
ISO: 100

My rainy afternoon of photography allowed for many opportunities for rain based photos. My attempts to capture running water wasn't going all that well so I settled for the the water that had condensed and settled out the plants outside of my house. From the cover of the front porch, using a telephoto lens I captured multiple shots of the plants from my limited vantage point. This picture was my favorite because the drops of water are both clearly visible/ in focus and blurry in the back/foreground.

The low aperture creates a blurred back/foreground in my photo and highlights the important water drops on the middle plant. Editing in camera raw, I enhanced the vibrant colors of the plant and worked to buff the clarity and detail of the in focus plant. I also adjusted the white balance to highlight the water and pop the green of the plant.

Using photoshop I took the created a pattern out of the image. By copying it four times and arranging it in different orders I achieved a variety of mirror like effects.
