...right after a spring rain.

If you want to get some great shots of flowers or foliage with water droplets, then head out with your camera after a rain. Yesterday we had a light spring rain with a slight chill in the air. I decided to bundle up in my rain boots and rain coat and try to get some shots like the pros.

Spring is just happening in Minnesota, very late for the season, but there are still some great early flowers to photograph. The first flower I came upon was the Brunerra Hosta at the right. It blooms dainty little purple-blue flowers.

Or how about capturing a tulip right before the petals open up. The tulip here was able to hold lots of water for me....must have known I was coming. 

The purple flower to the right had this one drop that was slowly sliding down the petal. Luckily I showed up in time to capture it before if fell to the ground a few minutes later.

Don't forget to take pictures of the foliage, too!

Remember, when thinking of what to photograph, make sure to remember the things most people do not take photos of, or better yet, times of the day when to go out and experiment.

Hint: If your seller has a fantastic garden, why not take some photos of the flowers, and highlight them in your marketing!
