This week’s challenge at the Digital Photography School is abstract. I hope these water drops are a bit abstract and fits into the theme. These miniature oranges grow in my backyard. I always drool over them but I decided to do something about it today.
When Chhavi started taking her afternoon nap I headed out with a glass of water and my camera in my hand. Well, I have to admit I sprinkled water over the orange to get the droplets.
The tree looks very beautiful when it is full of oranges. But these are very bitter in taste. I use them as a lemon substitute in my Maggi!
As the droplets were my own doing, I managed to get 5 at a time and how thrilled I was. I was shooting with a 50mm prime lens and to achieve this effect I have cropped the pictures like anything.
But other than cropping, I have hardly done any other editing. I anyway do not know how to use photoshop. I do my editing in Picasa. Guess how many pictures I took to finally publish these 5? Around 150 but that tells you more about my photography than anything else. I envy people who can take 10 tack sharp pictures and then post 5. One day …
superb snaps .I loved it . keep it up
Loved it…Mind blowing captures….
wow very nice mam
How creative, delicious and fresh… Just wonderful! 150 for 5 is huge test.

Absolutely gorgeous!
I wouldn’t mind taking 100 photos to get that 1 dream shot! The result is amazing! Loved the color of the orange and it’s freshness! So are those tiny by magnified water droplets.
Nice snaps…but you should have taken some different angle…
BTW: lemon in maggi???
Gorgeous frames. You’ve managed to capture the details as well.

Great close-ups! Liked the first and second best but all are very well taken. Glad to have discovered your blog.
woooow! this is in ur backyard… amazing!
beautiful pictures mridula – water drops in a natural setting is always better than those coming out of ur hand!
reminded me of some water drop pics i got from a coffee tree – during an old trek 🙂
Love the use of color and the intimate angle. The water and color combination stimulate others senses when viewing! Beautiful work!
