Can you guess what this is a picture of? Click the link below to find out.

It’s actually a picture of the night sky, while raining, taken with a Canon G10 with a 580EX mounted on top. Using the flash and a slow shutter speed, you can capture the light of the flash as it refracts and reflects inside the water drop, and as the drop continues down, the light eventually escapes and the brightness diminishes, give the effect of little comets going up and leaving a tail.

warp 2

Above is another picture, though as you can see, I’ve been in the rain a little too long and my lens has water on it.

warp 3

And one taken at a higher shutter speed. Good illusion of space.
