Errands had me out in the ridiculous rain this afternoon. When I got back into my car after one of my errands, I noticed the car windows were covered with drops. I had my camera, so whoever was waiting for me to vacate my parking spot had to wait another ten minutes for me to finish taking drop photos. I experimented with ISO and shutter speed and got some interesting results.
I took these two shots facing the passenger window using different shutter speeds, focal lengths, and ISOs but the same aperture.

I find them both intriguing; the second shot is closer to the actual lighting but I like the darker one. You can see a splash on the windshield in the lower right quadrant of the second photo. And they both have a little bit of bokeh. But the bhe best part is that I took these shots in just a few minutes.
Drops- in just a few minutes??? Awesome! And I see the bokeh!
I was in Trader Joe’s parking lot, the light was right and I just had to try.
unique – LIKE IT A LOT 🙂
Thanks, Brigita. I’m becoming obsessed with water drops!
