I captured this image on 29 09 2021 at the Upper Peirce Reservoir almost immediately after the “Colourful Dew Drop” image. I am very pleased to observe the quality of back lit leaf with the falling drop at the tip of the leaf. Most importantly, the insect that hiding behind the leaf completed the contend for the image of the nature world. Immediately after I captured the image, the dew dropped further and ended my chances of having another image.
I think you need to have a perfect eyesight to observe the colour of sunrise lighting in a tidy little dew Drop. I myself never expect to see a colourful drop when the morning light is too harsh. But in the morning of 29 09 2021 at the Upper Peirce Reservoir, once again I discovered the beauty of micro colourful world. In photography, I am satisfied that I have trained myself to observe for tiny details of the nature world.
Shooting against the light is always challenging for me in practising photography. On 22 09 2021 at the Upper Peirce Reservoir, I had another opportunity of shooting against the light. My perception of different layers of trees creating a perfect depth for my image with the touch of morning golden light from the sun. Enhancing the visual impact, the ripples in white gave a gentle touch further. The vantage angle in capturing such an image is essential.
