My first attempts at a water drop shot! I'm so happy that they actually came out somewhat OK.

Looks good.
I've never done a water drop.
Number 3 = winner

Looks great! I shot an almost similar picture to number 3 a couple of weeks ago (only you somehow managed to somehow get 3 drops :O ). I shot it under a different angle:

nice and crisp! Did you try any at a lower angle?

 

[Futurelight]

Lovely shots! Particularly good as it's your first attempt!

Nice job! I like them, 3rd one the best. Ive never done this either, its on my list though :thumbup:

Great job, have you tried dropping colored water in, I think that would have made #1 look amazing. 1 is my favorite but I feel like it needs more color for some reason. I didn't think 1/200 would be fast enough that's good to know if I ever give it a try.

Ohhhhh! I love the third one you did, with the three droplets! That red coloring is very compelling. Visually luscious!

Nice, Megan! They are fun to shoot! I am about ready to embark on my second shoot of water drops... even went to the trouble of obtaining and IV Drip kit to help control the drop consistency and rate more closely. Now just need to find the time..lol!

Thanks everyone!

I didn't. It was late and once I had it figured out - I left the camera alone. I am going to try it again though!!

I did put red food coloring in the water. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but my background wasn't working the way it was suppose to so I gave up and put color in the water. If you look on the left sides of the pictures you can see my background - green, brown, and pink dots (can't see the pink). I used an OCF so I'm assuming thats why it worked at 1/200. You should do it - its fun! Can be a pain in the butt to set up if you have a super annoying cat like mine!

An IV drip kit would be awesome! Now, I'm going to have to copy you and see if my teacher will give me an drip kit! I used a water bottle with a hole in it but it would not drip on its own - I had to put slight pressure on the bottle the entire time to get the water to drip! Oh well - it was still fun - and I got to use all my new toys: macro lens, wireless triggers, and my shutter release cord.

Definitely try a lower angle. Well done though for your first shots!

I think the third is the winner too, I think as a vertical or even square crop would be absolutely gorgeous because of the colors.
