Ocean's Origin

[Nagala]

Even the largest ocean begins with a single drop. Hope you likey.

ooo, crystal sharp perfection....love it!!!

I'd prefer a smidge more room between the drop and the bottom of the frame....but that's just being nitpicky....it's beautiful.

I've got a tiny bit more room in the uncropped, but I pretty much had to center up on that bad boy to make it stay sharp. I may play around with some more if I get time. I used to know a girl who shot nothing but water drops with different setups. Strange, but to each his own.

Nice! I really want to get some shots like this!

 

[ferny]

Wow! I agree about the bottom of the frame though.

Care to give us any secrets as to how you took this?

 

[mentos_007]

yay! awesome! gorgeous!!!!! how was it taken?

 

[LizM]

Great shot!

Now for the big question - How many exposures and how many hours did you stare at that faucet!!!???

 

[photobug]

Stunning shot! :thumbsup:

I agree about needing a bit more room on the bottom, but that's a super shot.

I'm with Terri (so to speak - ducks head before Terri slaps him).

And yeah mate... spill the beans... how the heck are you taking these?

 

[Karalee]

Holy Cow,

Cheers Crazymainer

This one was easy. Didn't spend 5 minutes trying in total, but I know you can get a lot of crazy drops. I just stacked a couple magnifying filters on the front and toyed with different apertures and speeds to keep from overexposing but still stop the action. (1/200 is the fastest my camera will sync with the flash I had on it, so somewhere quicker than that). I think the catch lights were from the mirror I put directly behind the kitchen faucet. Maybe some light came back from the faucet itself, who knows. I'll try more with some different colors or something later.

Well that answers that! It really is a great shot! Keep up the good work.

The form of the water droplet is strong and beautifully lit. Again great job on the focus.
