![]() ![]() Set your camera up on a tripod and point it at the window. Double glazed windows should be in good condition free of condensation.ģ. Make sure the window is clean! Any fingerprints or smears will show up. The background should be a long way off so a window into a garden with trees, grass or a fence at a good distance is ideal. The choice of background can really make a difference a light background such as a sky will often result in the droplets having a darker more defined outline while a dark background will make the centres of the droplets more prominent.Ģ. Choose a window that has interesting raindrop patterns and that is facing a plain background. It would also help if you had a tripod to steady the camera but this isn't a must as if you find your shutter speed is creeping towards the slow side, just use a slightly higher ISO.ġ. But that's another technique!Īll you need for this technique is a camera with close focus capabilities which covers most types of cameras including compacts. Ideally, the camera should have some form of creative exposure mode that will allow you to shoot at different apertures. If you adjust focus you can make these images appear sharper to become part of the creative picture. They look the type you'd see on a spiders web, all almost perfectly round. Droplets can also act like miniature lenses and present an upside-down image of the background in each concave shape. If it's heavy rain the drops tend to be large and blobby after a short shower the droplets are much neater and the best sort to photograph. ![]() You may not have noticed, but raindrops are not always the same on windows. Instead, use the weather to your advantage to capture great raindrop patterns on windows from the comfort of your home. As winter approaches we're going to see many more days of rain but this shouldn't stop you taking photographs. ![]()
