#8 Tropical Rain

A few stills from my actual work.

A tropical rainfall produces very nice water droplets in the nature environment. Especially on the large foliage of palm trees and the petals of beautiful flowers. Mostly, the clouds after a shower disappear very quick and one can get out for the shots. I preferred the palms in a hotel garden and made the pictures before the water dries out on the leaves.

My tropical raindrop pictures were shot with my NIKON D200 DSLR with a NIKKOR AF-S VR 105mm, f 1:2.8 ED Micro Nikkor lens. All the fine tuning was made in Apple Aperture 3. The important part to shoot these pictures is a lens, that give you a nice bokeh for all the blurry highlight dots of the out of focus raindrops and even fore- and backgrounds. The VR function helps quiet a lot, because the shots were all taken freehand.

Enjoy, Alfredo Briccola
