Week 18, Day 119, August 28, 2009, Water Drop

This afternoon we began to get rain. I look around for inspiration, and ended up photographing rain drops. (Some of you may have seen my facebook photo of a rain drop. This is the first one that I posted to this blog.)

It was quite dark when I was photographing, and I used a wide aperature. I like the effect of the blur on both sides of the rain drop.

Lessons Learned:

• Sometimes it takes a long time to take a photo, and I have to long at a lot of objects before I feel inspired.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/640, Aperture f/1.8, ISO 1600 (because of the darkness), Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 81mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, camera set on sidewalk (undercover).
