Tonights droplet collision

[RJL2005]

Liked the smooth disc on this one:

Comments and critque appreciated

Nice! I like the clean lines in this one!
The small droplet on the right is distracting me tho.

Great shot!

 

[Wobbit]

Very nice! Lots of rinse aid?

What are you using to put the base water in, out of interest?

Stunning Rhod, not much more to say really other than maybe crop it in a little closer to take out that already mentioned distracting droplet

I like that as well Rhod, very nice

Thanks guys! I wasn't sure about the stray drop but have done a second crop to make it square and exclude it.

Rob - The water was coloured with inkjet ink and about 1 drop/litre rinse aid. The base water is in a whiskey tumbler. HTH

Crop:

Ink jet ink I hadn't considered that, I always use food colouring can you tell me what's the idea of the rinse aid please

That's a much nicer crop

Love it, I'm going to have to try this one day when I get a macro lens

Very impressive shot. Nice & clean.

Is this through dropping water (Coloured or plain) into a glass of water (Coloured I presume) and taking the shot just after point of contact?

Anyone that might know can answer as I am waiting to go try this whilst I have time on my hands.

Cheers Matt! The rinse aid lowers the surface tension of the water and hopefully makes for more "fluid" shapes. Adding too much though can lead to a real mess 1-2 drops/litre seems to work!

Seen some great ones using a std kit lens. Have a look at the tutorial below

Sort of You need to drop two or more drops very quickly one after the other. The first forms the spike, the second then collides with it! Have a look at this tutorial

you can do these with a kit lens and manual focus

 

[thischarmingMal]

Wow! That's really impressive. I must have a go at this.

I really like this and prefer the tighter cropped one.

I really must have another go at this sometime as I failed miserably last time!!

Hmm, I might have to try it one day soon then

 

[Toothie]

impressive work, the tighter crop however, losses the little ball which I like

 

[Manc Man]

Both are very good photos. But I be favour the cropped one, very nice indeed.
