Sitting at my desk yesterday morning, working on the computer, the sun was coming up and there was some color in the sky so I raised my blinds. Then I noticed there was condensation on the window forming an interesting pattern with the sunrise behind.
I uploaded larger than usual versions because I think the small details are part of the attraction. (click on them to view on Flickr and then click again to zoom in)
The photos are quite abstract, which I know isn't everyone's favorite. Hopefully some of you will find them interesting.
Here's a less abstract one, this is closer to what your eyes could see. Zooming in you can see the trees reflected in each drop.
Another one where you can see the trees in each drop, especially in the top left.
Sometimes the camera had trouble focusing since I was shooting into the sun. But even that could give interesting results. (Good bokeh, as photographers would say.)
Here's the sun shining through one drop.
At the more abstract end of things, but still with recognizable trees:
Another abstract one, other than recognizable drops this time.
I love the liquid looking texture to the photographs. Obviously, it was liquid, but that doesn't always come across in a photograph.
It was a tricky thing to photograph and what my eyes saw wasn't necessarily what the camera captured. Slight changes in focus or camera position could yield quite different results. I tried with my RX10m3 which can focus within a centimeter or two (something insects don't like, but fine for inanimate objects) Then I tried with my Nikon 7200 with both my zoom lens and my macro lens. And finally I tried with my iPhone 7+ and the Kamerar closeup lens. I thought one of them would be a clear winner but they all produced different but good results. My final picks were pretty much evenly divided between the three cameras. Can you guess which is which? (If you click on them to view, the camera is given under the photo.)
