[AshMashMash]

Obviously water drops here! Haven't posted any on here for a while... I apologise if the flickr people are bored of them :bonk:

Click to enlarge.

First, two from tonight. Got a 1/11 keeper rate!



Floater with not such a good form



Refraction:



Angi's idea, I still life... ..with a difference




A colour-editted collision (editted in GIMP)



And a cute little floating red one:



Having a second flash has really helped with the lighting and colour possibilities

Thanks Angi Yeh set up seems pretty perfect really

I really will have to have another go at these... How do you have the 2 flashes arranged?

With the blue/yellow ones? In general, for water splodges they're arranged pointing at a reflector behind the drop. For milk, one or both is pointing directly onto the splodge zone. For the blue/yellow ones, one was pointing behind the splodge onto a blue folder, and t'other pointing to the right of it onto a yellow folder, to bring the yellowness of the collision out

Superb Ash...

The Still life shot combined with the droplets.. Now THAT is controversial hehehe - SUPERB!

Thanks Ian!

Haha.. if it all ends in tears, it was angi's idea! Take her not me!

Fantastic water shots, I keep meaning to have a crack at this, and put it off as I hear its both frustrating and time consuming to get results.
The veg shot has fantastic colour too

 

[sammyd56]

Stunning, the best water droplet shots I've seen

 

[Dave in Wales]

What a teriffic shot, thanks for posting.

[Breezy]

Wow more stunners, love the last one.

 

[Digitall]

They are all pants Ash cause I now know how it's done! There is a shop on Fleabay that sells plastic dropcollisions of various colors cheap as chips (I think they are from china).














Seriously I am in awe of your drop collisions simply because you do it all manually no electronic devices for you. As much as I try i cannot get even one little collision.
How high is your shutter count now?

Thanks Steve, yeh I love this sort of stuff The sort of stuff you wouldn't normally see "in real life", as such. I'd like to see some more from you

Fantastic water shots, I keep meaning to have a crack at this, and put it off as I hear its both frustrating and time consuming to get results.

Thank you It is both that: fustrating and time consuming... and shutter consuming

Stunning, the best water droplet shots I've seen

Thank so much!

What a teriffic shot, thanks for posting.

Dave

Thank you too I do like that one.

Wow more stunners, love the last one.

I like the floaters too, they're the hardest to get.

Hahaha, thanks so much Allan! I have just ordered my self the HiViz Photogate timer, so I can have a play with that. Might be able to get a near 1/1 rate, to save my shutter!

Shutter count is now at nearly 16k, I've had the camera since November

 

[ElDavido]

The still life one is an excellent genre mashup. Really nice idea and captured really well.
