Got bored this evening....went and played with water

[Fullfast]

Decided as I like the effect and cant think of anything original for my 52 yet, thought I would give this water drop thing a try.........Realised after I had used the wrong lens but quite please with the result....

As alway C+C is ALWAYS appreciated.....and thanks for looking

Can you explain I've always used a 100mm macro for my water drop stuff. I'd call it a "proper" lens

Your second set are much better! They could be improved with a lower angle. Try to capture the drop landing while the base water is still, helps no end

When I am using my 90mm macro I can never seem to get the whole of the droplet in focus....hence the first set..tried my standard lens in the second set and seemed to get much better results......will try again with my macro as love that lens just wasnt sure it was the "proper" lens to use for this.......will try a lower angle during the week and post.........will read the How To guide again and see where I may be going wrong.....thanks for the advice
