That is so pretty.

Thank you Shirley, I took it on a red hot sunny summers day, so had to spray some water on the plant.

It was the only time I tried water drops, back in 2015. 1100D and lens was 55-250mm IS.

Lenses? I'm going to hazard a guess that 95% will be macro

Will endeavour to snap and post!

Very clever, I like that one Took some working out.

 

[Shirleyr]

Raining or water spray, Next time I'll tidy up the subject before clicking the shutter.

 

[SteveSc]

Some great shots so far.

Not 100% sure this qualifies for droplets as they are probably not the main focus of the shot but it was the light on the droplets that made me first take this picture.

Well that a nice surprise to see so many here already ... excellent.
@rpn ...love that idea Stan, I've not seen one like that before.

This is one of my old 52's ... I will get out and do some fresh ones, I'll have another go at the flycatcher Chris, we have a few different ones.

Thanks, Susie. That shot was taken for the ETC (Effect, Technique and Creative) Project on here during 2013.

I remember your shot too. Very creative and nicely done.

A couple of some sticky droplets.

An unfortunate fly.

I like this one because its so 'busy' with lots of droplets and bokeh.

The second one is beautiful

 

[Shirleyr]

As it rained all afternoon I went out to search for water droplets and this is what I found.

 

[pjm1]

Ok, my first entry in this little challenge...

 

[wanilson]

First time I've joined in on "take on" but I have a couple of old shots from when I was learning camera settings that fit this months theme

A Mans Take On A Droplet

 

[Ishan.]

Beautiful click

 

[Miss Lily]

Frozen droplets

 

[Shirleyr]

Headed into the garden with a water spray and the 60mm on camera and it was really enjoyable with no only the flowers, buds and plants how interesting it all came.
I think the most interesting effects were the Dandelion seed head, the water droplets turned into sparkling gems.

 

[sirch]

@Shirleyr that dandelion shot is very nice indeed, love the abstract nature of it
