THose look great!!

what is your background?

[LaFoto]

Christmas theme wrapping paper

In fact, though, the paper was much greener than it shows here ... and the purple one was much redder, but ... it is ok the way it is.
I feel inclined to try some more, with a different background which I still need to create. I am having all sorts of ideas now ... it is the DISEASE!

As commented on the purples, great shots!

What camera settings did you use?

Was this just done in the sink?

Thanks George, thanks all. It is such fun creating those!

I happened to photograph today's set-up with the Powershot, so for you, George:




Not "just the sink" but in the sink, with the bowl filled to the rim.
The camera was set to f13, 1/200 sec. and I had the Sigma 70-300mm lens on in its macro setting.

Today I tried some at f9, but for some odd reason I could not focus well enough, many were blurred, my vision must have played tricks today, plus f9 may also be too wide. I wanted to create some round drops where the colour switches right in the middle, hence no wrapping paper today, but other, more singularly coloured backgrounds. Alas, it did not work... well, not what I had hoped to achieve.

Wonderful set of shots. Amazing what perfect globes of water you got. I'll have to try this someday myself.

And thanks for showing the setup!

[skiboarder72]

great shots, these are really tough to take... now how many did you take total to get these

[LaFoto]

I am showing 17 all in all, kept 75, and took about 150.

In the last pic I don't like the blown out window and the white balance seems off, it's too blue....





great shots of the droplets. Looks like you've got the incurable kind of infection. Love #3 where it seems to be raining up.

You are right about that photo, Pascal, absolutely right.
But I'm happy to hear you like the droplet photos as such.
There are two more droplet-threads floating about, if you're still interested! I was/am (took more today, mind you, they are in the process of conversion) severely infected! Incurably, as you say!!!

[Puscas]

yes, incurable (not 'un').


I looked at the other threads too. The picture with the one droplet resting on the water is a-ma-zing. If Battou hadn't nominated it, I would have.
