Nature Already Does It Better Than We Could Ever Do - My Introduction to the Community - A PowerHouseCreatives Contest
Hello lovely Steemians !
First of all I want to thank all of you for accepting me as a new PowerHouseCreative into your ranks. I saw this community already several times and always wondered what it is about. After some in-depth research I decided to apply to you and I am so happy that you accepted me. This here is my first entry to the PowerHouseCreatives and to one of your great contests by @zord189. By the way, if you want to learn more about me, there is a link at the bottom of the post ^^
As some of you may already know I am a huge fan of nature and nature photography in general. After seeing @brittandjosie once posting about her new LenseBall I instantly wanted one too. By the way, thank you @brittandjosie for always supporting me in all my doings and inspiring me so much throughout my whole journey in the steemisphere ;) .. Lenseballs are really nice tools. They are made from crystal glass of the highest quality, without any air pockets or bubbles. They usually have a diameter of 60mm, 90mm or 110mm and can reflect their surroundings as a mirrored, sharp and crystal clear 180-degree view in a spherical fashion. Amazing toys for any photographer, hehe ^^
Unfortunately I had a serious accident on my left shoulder in January and until April I will not be able to use it as it weights nearly 1 kg. But as an Astrochemist and Nature-Lover I know that for every single invention that humankind ever created there is already something out there, something natural, that is capable of the same things, and even far better in most of the cases. In this case it is a simple but nevertheless amazing water droplet ^^
There is a lot of physical explanations behind water droplets, but for a quick explanations I just want to say this here. A droplet is basically the form that a liquid is adapting because it exhibits surface tension and inter-molecular interactions between every single molecule of the liquid. Thereby is it always the energetic most favored thing to form out a ball, like water droplets or soap-bubbles are doing. Until a certain size drops are holding together due to this inter-molecular interactions and the surface tension. But if you know how to increase those, like soap-bubble experts are doing, you can create gigantic bubbles or droplets this way. OK, enough theoretical background ^^
Luckily for me it was raining a lot here the last days and on my way to work today, I have to walk through the Botanical Garden on my way, I had the chance to find some nice water droplets hanging in the trees and on the flowers everywhere. So I took my change and tried to picture some nice lense droplet photographs for you. It was a bit windy and I am still incapable to move my left arm freely, but I tried my best to capture them as sharp as possible.
I hope you enjoyed my little introduction to the PowerHouseCreatives Community and my entry for its In-house Contest about the "Best Thing You Have Bought". I have to admit that I actually was not able to use this thing, the LenseBall yet, but I tried my best to show you an even more amazing feature. One of nature great features itself, about the pictures in her own LenseDroplets ^^
Thank You For Reading And Watching ^^

Thank you @iamraincrystal 🤗 .. I actually did about 20 pictures in total due to the wind an shaking hands, but I am so glad it worked out in the end 👐 .. Thought this might be a nice introduction to the PowerHouseCreatives 😉
Those raindrops do have something magical about them :)
Its like there is another littles world inside of them 😜 .. I should make some more the soon. I just need more rain 🤣
Welcome to #PHC with such a lovely reason to join.
Yes that crystal ball photography I noticed is being used by a couple of photographers, never seen one, loved the effect.
Using nature with close up on rain drops gives a lovely feel on what surrounds the plant, still in a ball shape.

Hello dear @adalger welcome to this beautiful community. Lovely water droplets and interesting story.
Thank you for the welcome ^^ .. There are so many names already that are familiar to me ;) I am super sure that I really like it here in the community !
Fantastic post, @adalger.

Happy new day!

Sure!!!!
WElcome to the #PowerhouseCreatives! Those are beautiful water drop photos - never thought to capture images in raindrops but those are wonderful! I was inspired by @brittandjosie too to buy a lens ball and had great fun with it. I haven't used it for awhile but I've been seeing some more lens ball photos that has got me inspired again! I hope you heal quickly - can't wait to see what you create with your lens ball!
Hehe, it is always @brittanjosie who inspires so many of us. It is not even a running gag, she is just everywhere, like a Patron of all Steemians, hahaha .. I suppose she has cloned herself to be everywhere at the same time or secretly uses the Force in the steemisphere to reach out to us all ^^ .. I already eagerly anticipate the times when I can start playing around with the real lensball and hope to see something nice from you too in that niche. It has so much potential and for us nature-lovers which already know where the beauty is to find, this opens a fantastic new world in picturing it. Just animals might be a little complicated, hehe ;)
