Just plain old water, beaded up on a glass on a hot humid day. Took a shot as close as I could get, then boosted the contrast. This is just a plain iPhone camera, and look at the resolution! I have barely begun to explore what this camera can do. To call it “point and shoot” is an injustice; when it gets right down to it, you have to point and then shoot with ANY camera. There are a lot of reasons to use an iPhone camera, chief among them: it’s always with you; you can do closeups like this one with excellent resolution; and, there is no end to the editing you can do right on the phone, even with one hand, while talking on the phone (if you desire to work that way), with nobody being any wiser as to what you are doing.

This is another way to photograph water. The closer you look at water, the more you will see. Spill a few drops of water on a table, and photograph that. Something will always be reflected; play around until you can get a tiny clear reflection in a drop.
