Nothing like some of the entries en on here but my best weffort of sunday...what set ups do you guys use to get these ?

I used an EF28-80 at 80. plus 10 diopter...could only focus at 4 inch from drops and DOF was ooo shallow...

Some neat ripples in #2,
I suspect when I did mine I was at a much shallower angle to the water surface and probably further away (always helps DOF)

cheers brian - I'll try the 200 - 300 mm apo macro on it next time....then comes the Q- how to make the drips drip from 0.98m away....lol.

Yes LordV's setup helped me, here is one i took this weekend, not a good DOF and out of focus but take a good look. :D

As for the drips try a milk carton suspended above, i used a pipette for mine, that is why the drips go all over the place and focus is out.

see here for setting from some of minehttp://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1101199#post1101199

Interesting shades of colour in the water. What did you use as a background?

[bbulldog]

the background was a packet of Quaker Oats but underneath the bowl where the flash was lighting through was the wrapper from a packet of Bassets Wine Gums, after i had eaten them all. :D
