My little granddaughter wanted to be incorporated in some manner into my liquid splash photographs, so I took these for her. Just a brief trip to Lightroom for spotting and cropping, but otherwise SOOC.

All grandchildren can be many-headed monsters on occasion - this is the moment of transition.

And back to sweetness and light.

i have been starting to learn and experiment with the water drop stuff and damn those are so good. Finding that focus is so tough so good job on getting it right.

Thank you philodelphi and peeaanut, very good of you. :)

@ philodelphi - I use a SplashArt drop controller from Phototrigger, dropping water into a very large Brandy glass (ah, those were the days). About 4-5 inches behind the glass, I place a photograph of the subject, illuminated by 2, or sometimes 3, Yongnuo 560-iii speedlites set to low power and fired by a Yongnuo RF-603C trigger on the camera hot-shoe. Sigma 105mm Macro, ISO 100, f/16.
To have the refracted image of the subject the right way up, the subject must be upside down - if you see what I mean!

@ peeaanut - You are right, focus can be very tricky! My method is to lay a hacksaw blade across the glass, positioned so that a drop hits the blade - then focus via LiveView x 10 on the teeth of the blade, i.e. a millimetre or two in front of where the drop actually strikes. Works pretty well on most occasions.
