The Beauty of Rain Droplets: Toronto Photography

Filed under: Blog,Macro — Tags: 100 mm f2.8 macro, bokeh, Canon, focus-stacked macro, macro, rain, rain drops, rainy windows — Holly @ 11:32 pm

I’ve done quite a few macro rain droplet photos (see previous rainy day photography here, here, here, here and here), and I love, and am quite fascinated by how similar, yet different and unique the photos are to each other. Droplets form differently. The light outside is different. I’m sure there will be more to come… 🙂

Tried out a focus-stacking technique in Photoshop for the next two images:

Had a few friends over for dinner last night, and received an early Christmas present, something I have considered purchasing for myself many a time. Kept my herbal tea nice and hot and steamy!
