for C&C: My first attempt at water droplets

[Heitz]

I know this leaves much to be desired, but I'm happy as a first attempt. Setup was a long pyrex pan full of water, underneath and behind I put some orange and blue tissue paper. SB-900 & SB-700 on either side w/ dome diffuser on. 60mm macro lens. I used bulb mode in a fully dark room with speedlights set to 1/128 power to really freeze the action.

I am no water drop expert, but I'd say you nailed it. I love the contrasting colors.

Also, which 60mm did you use?

It was the nikkor 60mm 2.8 micro (well it's 2.8 -> ? .. variable aperture). I also tried using my 85 1.4D, but the macro pulled this off better.

Internet gremlins, apparently. Fixed.

Actually, yea. And I've been inspired by your recent post with the checkerboard. What I really want is something clearly visible inside the water droplets..

Addictive isn't it!?!?
I'm glad my shots inspired you to try it out, that is way cool, I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
