Thank you, Lewis!   Of course you didn't see the forty-odd other images that weren't even worth processing/editing!  They all went straight to the trash bin.  Today was definitely a second round of learning and experimenting,  figuring things out, even more than the previous time.   One thing I do definitely need to use is the tripod, and I didn't do that today as I was trying  to get some idea of the best distances,  angles whatever, for camera, the glass for the drops, the actual impact on the glass of the Rain-X, something I had never used before, the actual subject (a real one in hand or one on the iPhone displaying a previously shot image  and such. 

Also, I don't think the tripod is going to fit in the bathroom if I am doing this during the daytime and want to do it in the dark!   I may simply need to wait until darkness falls in the evening and then play with this stuff in the living room or another room where I have more space.  I do have a small, short tabletop tripod but I don't think it would work out well for this kind of project.  Ah, but  come to think of it, my monopod might be useful.....

More experimentation to come!
