7 Macro Minimalist Photos featuring Water Droplets

As promised earlier, I am here with my Minimalism and Nature Series. I have decided to include 7 Photographs. Seven are not too many nor too little, rather just about right. I had also mentioned, that I shall be upgrading my Camera Kit which was long overdue. 

So Finally, yesterday I got my New Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens

Today, being India's 67th Republic Day, was a half day working for me. I came home very early and had some time to spare. Soon, it started to rain heavily and Therefore I thought why not Mix Minimalist Photography and Nature as a theme with Macro Minimalist Photography.

"I have a thing for Water Droplets" to be frank. So I chose that as my very first Macro Subject. Some people like shooting insects/bugs etc with Macro Lenses but that's not my cup of earl grey tea.

PS: All 7 Macro Minimalist Water Droplets Photos below fall under the Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalist Photography. 

All Photographs have been captured using the Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens


I shot for about 2 hours. A lot of time was spent looking for these tiny water droplets and even more on adjusting the Focus. Most shots were taken on Manual Focus. Although Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens comes with Hybrid Image Stabilization but that does not give you accurate results always. If you use a tripod then you will sail through the focus problem easily.

As for me, I am just a lazy bum. I shoot handheld. Infact, a friend called me during my shoot and I was even clicking Macro by gripping the Camera with just one hand. Of course, that did NOT help. 

Anyways I hope you like the above Minimalist Photographs. These are just my first few Macro Minimalist Shots and I hope to publish better one in the coming days.

See you Soon !
