Final drop...
Raspberry Ridges

Ok, this is the last drop. Highlights are a little funky but I thought it still made for an interesting picture, especially the little drop meteor coming in from the upper right.

Actually the drop was leaving but in my infinite lack of wisdom about such things I had the flash set to slow sync, which means the shutter opens and flash fires, and then the shutter stays open for a little while longer. There was enough ambient light to explain the faint trace as the drop kept moving out of frame.

That's also what caused the faint red ghosting around the middle, smaller drop. After the flash it kept expanding.

Keep on learning, that's what I always say...
