First Drops
Uploaded: April 15, 2007 06:54:03
EF 100mm Macro, f/5.6, 1/200th Second, ISO100, -2/3ev, remote + mirror lockup, RAW.
These small flowers were the edging along a patio. The skies kept threatening rain with little bursts
of sprinkles off and on. The result was wonderful little droplets on the petals, everywhere I looked!
