That’s using shutter speed, which allows you to capture the actual movement of water drops. The first and third were done using shutter speed with a flash, to force the black background. Playing with shutter speed and aperture settings yield all kinds of cool shots when photographing rain, or water from a sprinkler. Shutter speed captures movement, so that’s what you’re seeing in the tubes, or tails, is the movement of the drops.

Little comets.
These open the ones in the first part to me. Now I see more clearly the beauty and the drama. I love this series.

Very interesting. Looks like little clear spears from Mother Nature.
Oh, I love all of them, can’t even pick a favourite this time. Like little crystals, you’ve made raindrops look precious (and they are).
On the first shot some of the drops look like they have heads and eyes. In fact there is a big one in the center that looks kinda creepy, now that my brain has gone into full pareidolia mode. :D
How did you manage the illusion that the drops are flying upward and not falling?

Thank you, Ice Swimmer!

Now that you say, I can see that. Kinda looks like a transparent ladybird from the back to me. :D Thank you!
