A few droplets

[zarozinia]

Ive not played with droplets for around 8 months or so now and saying as its wet outside Ive decided to have a wet weekend inside too
These are my efforts from day 1. Tomorrow Im trying different methods and hoping for collision shots, but not sure I will manage any as Ive no high tec equipment.
I used flat coke in a glass bowl, and milk mixed with water. I used a piece of orange plastic for the background, with a light shining on it. I used my ring flash, hand held slightly to one side for some shots and on camera for some. I used a syringe for the drops but tomorrow I will be using a bag instead. These are all pretty much straight out of the camera, sharpenned and noise reduced. Some have contrast increased thats all.

Beautiful colours and nice and sharp too Good luck with the collisions, I'm thinking of having another go tomorrow too - that's if I can stop the siphon leaking

Lovely series Angi, not lost you touch

 

[RKC]

stunning all of them, but no5 fascinates me

 

[mr_pants]

Not a technical critique, but I did gasp when the photos rolled into my browser. In a good way, you understand. The lighting and colours of these are particularly striking, I feel.

One of the best sets of droplets i have seen on here. Well done. I cant wait to do some myself. You inspire me.

Aw thank you all for the lovely comments, there are much better droplet sets than these on here, but I'm glad a few people like mine.
Ive struggled all weekend with the collision images and they are very poor, even out of 1500 images I'm still very unhappy with the results, so any tips would be welcome.

 

[zarozinia]

More from that set that I didnt post as the white of the milk got burnt out, but I quite like the "glow"

 

[Just Dave]

Like them all Angi, I also like the glow

#2 is my pick from a great set. 1500 images now that is dedication.

Hi Angi .. Excellent sharpness and timing on these shots Were these latest ones taken with the flash on camera? I only ask as the best results I get is from indirect / reflected light

Ive been using my macro ring flash, mainly off camera, slightly to the side and angled at the background above the droplet usually.

Love number 5, great art

 

[SarahLee]

Really love these . . . all of them.
Although No.2 is just amazing!

Had my first try at this on Sunday - must be something about the wet weather
These have definitely inspired me to have another go this weekend.
