Water and glass

[slwx]

So I was messing around today attempting droplets for the first time. I had no reservoir so I made do with a pane of glass...

Results!

I'm just a beginner but i think these are excellent. I would love to be able to have a shot at this in the future. Well done.

what a fantastic idea.....just wish i was this creative.

did you have a specific lighting set up or did you just use natural light/single flash?

I set up with two flashes, the onboard flash and a speedlite behind the droplets, diffused and behind a sheet of paper.

these are brilliant! who'd have thought glass would work so well? Focus is spot on too (this is the bit I find most difficult)

Spectacular!

Wow, these are crackers.

Crisp, great lighting and nicely timed.

Thanks! I had no idea I'd get the effects of the layers of glass. I just used glass because I thought it'd make for some interesting impacts on something solid rather liquid.

Spectacular!

Very nice, how did you create the green parts on the droplets?

Very good effect, looks great

Thanks!

If you take a pain of glass and look down the edge of it, it tends to be green... I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's the layers in the glass.

Lovely set of images and really like the green. The first looks like a snail, but that might just be me

No worries, thanks!

Thanks! Also, the whole time through post production I was thinking snail, then I uploaded it to Flickr, and for some reason typed in frog. But I changed it on Flickr, it's just not changed itself on here lol

Really nice work well done, did you put anything under the glass like a piece of white paper?

 

[Phil789]

These look great, something slightly different than the usual drops in to liquid

Wish I had a pane of glass to do this with rather than something to hold liquid

Thanks!

Is due to iron impurities in the sand when making.
