I've wanted to take an image of a subject with water droplets for some time. I didn't want to create my own, I wanted them to be naturally formed with no human influence. I took a few shots, and this was the most successful. I may use droplets as the main subject during my next photography project.
I like the simplicity of this image. It was approaching twilight, and the sky was still a little light. The sun is just out of shot, behind the branches, leaving them appear like silhouettes. There is contrast between the soft sky and the sharp branches.
One of the first pictures I took with my film camera was of tree reflections in water. I haven't yet managed to develop a print from the film, so I wanted to create the same image with my DSLR. I love the outcome, and I can't wait to print the one from my film. I think this image would suit black and white, unless it is a very clear blue day.
I was looking through the lens when a small white speck caught my attention. I took a picture, then got closer, took another, and repeated for a third time. After the third I realised I was looking at possibly the smallest spider I have ever seen. It must have been about 2 millimetres in diameter. I put the three images together as a Triptych. The viewer then sees the images the way I saw them, from an unidentified subject, to a well known insect.
Experimenting with DOF and composition of an image.
