Raindrops on water

I’ve been trying to take good pictures of drops falling on water for a while now, but somehow it always ends up meh-ish. These kind of situations look so pretty when you are watching, but then pictures never do them justice.IMG_2919

But then my mom sent me the picture below. Doesn’t it look like an impressionist painting?WP_20140421_007a1

And zooming out you might be surprised that the lily pond is actually pretty small:WP_20140421_007But this picture has inspired me to set up a dripper so that I have full control over the conditions, and take pictures of drops falling on water. One day, that is – right now I’m pretty comfy on my couch :-)

  1. I like both pictures. Yours also looks great! And your mom’s zoomed out picture is really surprising!
