Macro Drip

[Pato]

Hiya All. 1st time here and 1st post. I took this for a Macro comp at a local camera club. Didn't do too well as most thought I had made it in Photoshop.

Comments welcome

only comment ive got is nice capture, must be annoying to get a good shot and then have people think its been 'shopped

Wish I could do that , well done

Thanks for the comments

It's happened to me before. This was a comp entry too. Same thing happened, they thought it was done in PS.

that wine shot is great, can you elaborate how you did it?

Hiya. Thanks for the comment.

The only cheat in the picture was I used fruit squash instead of wine

It was for a comp titled "Broken"

For the shot I broke the wine glass before hand then hold the glass above the stem, dropped it and took the shot as it hit the table. Took a lot of shots to get a few results. Messy but fun.

Here is another one I managed to get

OP - I think it is a great picture, only comment would be that the drip doe snot look vertical, maybe a slight rotation.

Wine galss shot - what did you use as the flooring for these shots? look sliek a shiny car bonnet!!!

Hiya.

The background for the Wine shots was a thin sheet of white plastic. Seemd to work well and was also easier to clean the wine (Fruit squash) off than the kitchen table...
