Here I Am

My delight in photographing water drops continues. Someone on Flickr suggested that one of these days I’d morph into the water drop, and when you looked at the photo carefully, there I’d be.

So I couldn’t resist when I saw my reflection in this drop. I sized another image of my face, copied it onto a layer in the water drop image, and lowered its opacity.

Here I am. You can see me more clearly if you look at this photograph in a larger size.

Maybe the effect is a little hokey, but it’s also fun.

Speaking of looking closely at water drops, I’m amazed by the extent to which I am looking at pure light when I focus on them. Light reflected and refracted, as in these captures:
