Water Drops

[BrentC]

So the last couple days started playing with water drop photography. Done with Olympus 60mm Macro and one flash. Used an dropper in one hand and camera trigger in the other. I'll just say doing it this way, and not with a water drop kit, you better have a ton of patients.

Wow, well done!

Hmmm...not displaying here.

They're gone, guess its another google account...

 

[BrentC]

Strange they are displaying for me. Do people have this issue with Google Photo? I have done it this way for all different forums when I have to post pics. What is recommended?

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Most members upload them here or use something like Flickr. I guess a lot of us don't use google.

I setup a Flickr account and uploaded photos but it won't display. It seems very simple. Click on share and copied the URL and used that in the post but no luck.

The first one is displaying for me, but the rest of the links are broken.

Make sure you're using the actual image URL and not just the page URL. It should end in .jpg (or whatever file type they are)

OK fixed. Hopefully you guys can see it now.

Can see them now.
Great set. Well done for a dropper and trigger.

These are great. I like that last one especially. It's very sci-fi movie alien forming out of liquid.

For Flickr, use the BB code when you share. Also you can choose the size you want so that each shot will display fully on the screen. That way people can see the whole shot at once on the portrait orientations instead of having to scroll which really detracts from the impact IMO.

Thank you for fixing those. They were worth waiting for. Great job. Hard to say which I like best. Nice, Nice, Nice!

Great set!

Great set, made even better with the knowledge that these were done without benefit of a drop kit. You have way more coordination and patience thank I do.

Thanks guys. Still need to play with the additives to the water but its coming along. I'm putting another set up today that will be a bit different.

After three days and about 9hrs doing this my patience is starting to wear thin. I am seriously looking into a water drop kit.
