Drops

Posted by

Although we did not get the snow that Washington State did a little over a week ago, we had major flooding in the Willamette Valley. Fortunately our house was high enough to not be affected, but the gutters did look like rivers. I got out to shoot when the rain let up. What I like most about this photograph is not the drops but the background. I would like to have just that background for a texture layer.

NIKON D300 1/200 second F/6.3 ISO 800 157 mm (35mm equiv.)

Really nice. The light through the drop is wonderfully contrasting with the blue/green tonality of the environment.
