How To Photograph Raindrops

in Readers' Photos, Tips and Tricks

If you shoot in macro, chances are you have shot raindrops at least once. Raindrops are raindrops; they can be very unique as a macro photography subject.

One sure way of spicing up your raindrop photos are by taking what’s in the raindrops… the objects reflected by the raindrops.

These amazing raindrop pictures are sent by reader Laurie, who has also allowed them to be posted here. Big thank you to you Laurie.

    The photo with the red tulip and picket fence and the one with just the fence looks like its upside down, they are not, this is the way the camera shoots them.
    That’s one reason why its quite a challenge to shoot raindrop and waterdrop photos, it so hard to see the reflection anyways let alone
    upside down in just a five or six mil. waterdrop. These are the very first raindrop photos that I have ever taken! I just took them this spring. I noticed the reflections while viewing my photos of the day and was so excited to see such awesome reflections.
    I now have a great collection of raindrop macro photos. More to come!!
