water experimentation

hey guys,
just wanted to share a pic i messed with today.

it was hard for me to get enough light, and to focus...
needless to say i used a maglite and my 3rd arm to drop the droplets:)

Nice pics , but what is that white line to the droplet ?

The white line just seems to always show up. I noticed that in almost every picture I took, it was there. Were you letting the water drip from a tap? or another method?

Very nice.

Nice Shots. I like water shots..... I'm going to have to do some more. I havent done any in a while

Very nice.

I have found what works best for me is using a syringe (with no needle) It gives very controlled drops.

i used some sort of syringe thing..but it was an extremely oversized one ..meant for giving dogs liquid medication i think...

i wanna try one of those turkey baster things..nice large drops :)

yeah that white line is weird..

my guess is that when the flash went off...or its a reflection of the flashlight i used and then the water drop of course drops in the water and comes back up..i believe the white line is just the reflection of light on that droplet.

Hehe, I got the answer for the white line : Felix is an impostor!
In fact the water was put in a bowl placed upside down, and the thin line is just a wire used to suspend the droplet.

Felix then took his pics, and turned them upside down for display. Clever guy, uh? :mrgreen:

Nice shots. Although this has been done thousands of times, it's always interesting to see what each individuals results are. Good show.
