These photos were taken after a wet night, followed by a bright sunrise the next morning. The bright sun made the water droplets stand out prominently wherever you looked, so armed with my 55-300mm lens, I decided to use its macro setting to create very shallow depths of field, and then by setting my camera to manual focus, I could purposely set the lens out of focus to make the water droplets appear like magical fairy lights. I know its not to every ones taste, but its never wrong to experiment with camera settings, that's how we learn.
