The Journey Of A Drip
Once again I was a bit stumped for a post title. Just ‘Drip’ seemed a little bland and I thought the little bead of water deserved more. I know The Journey Of A Drip sounds like a chapter from an Adrian Mole book, but I like it. Maybe it is a chapter out of one of his books? Can anyone remember?
The other morning I was wandering around the garden saying “Goodmorning” to the world when my eye was drawn to a small bead of light on the end of the tap. A tiny drip looking like a diamond… It’s amazing really as I often walk past people without seeing them. Maybe I’m just not a people person?
The sun was still low in the sky and the angle was lighting up the bead of water beautifully, but that side of the house was still quite shaded. It made for a pretty picture, or so I thought.
Off I trotted to get my camera and tripod; if I wanted to catch the moment as I’d just seen it I had to move fast. A few minutes later I had my camera aimed at the tiny drip or what was, by that time, a new drip and quickly went about getting the settings as I wanted them.
As anyone who is learning to use their camera in manual mode, it takes a little playing around to get it ‘right’ (or is that just me?). The fiddling took time, so by the time I managed to get photos I was happy with the sun was no longer catching the drip as before.
I’m still happy with how they came out though.

Just in case you’re interested the camera settings I used they were 78mm lens, 5.3f, 1/800s, 200 iso. It’s all a bit gobbledygook really!
