A big raindrop and the smaller cousins

photoblog-day-256.jpg

After the rain fog usually sets in. The high moisture forms wonderful raindrops at plants and spider webs. I discovered this larger raindrop on a rose stem surrounded by many tiny raindrops. I used an old 55mm M42 Chinon lens and extension tubes to get this shot. I had to get close to the drops and I had to be very careful not to touch them and not to create a small air wave which would have destroyed the drops.

Enjoy!
