Couldn't sleep last night - 4 for C&C

Do you ever almost fall asleep, have to do something, then can't get to sleep? *sigh* Anyway, I hadn't done some water shots for a while...

LOL - ya, thanks. I'm paying for it now, though, because my youngest gets up around 5. He doesn't understand weekend sleep hours. I think I'll go take a nap.

How do you get the different colors? Did you use any special light?

In the second shot, the colours are reflected from the environment and all images were captured with a single snooted 580 ex II. 1, 3, and 4 were shot with a few drops of milk mixed in to give the water a white, more opaque appearance. I did this because I knew I would be colorizing them in PS. The images were converted to BW and then colorized with the hue & saturation dialogue. It is the same technique I would use if I had shot smoke pics.

Thanks for the feedback. I like that one for its sharpness as well. It is so hit and miss with macro shooting because missing the drop location by a fraction of an inch varies your focus in a huge way.

Thanks for looking.
