Water Droplets

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Water Droplets

Postby Marvin on Wed Jan 11, 2012 11:24 am

BigV is visiting and we are having lots of fun with water. First balloons and now droplets. My house will never look the same again thanks to all the food colouring! Taken with the D7000 and tamron 90mm macro. We used a new thing of BigV's to time the droplets and the flashes.

These look great, nice and sharp and the colours + reflections worked really well. I hope the house is now very colourful and not the same in a good way!

Looks great!I reckon you could crop a little to accentuate that little flow on the second. :cheers:

Could you elaborate? :wink: Is it a DIY job or a purchased trigger?

It's a purchased trigger. BigV could tell you more about it, but it's called a camera axe, a very cool little device.

We had 2 flashes at 1/128th power and I had to hold the camera open on bulb until after the flashes had fired. BigV took a photo of the setup on his phone.

nice stuff!

The other method is to use the Stop Shot, this one is quite common
