Extinguish

Well done. Tell us how you did it.

Maybe just me but the drop feels OOF?

Thanks Qbx and Flo.
@ Qbx: It's a straight forward shot of water drops falling on a lit candle. The 1st drop killed the flame & the 2nd is falling towards the candle. A second flash was pointed towards the background.
@ Flo: The drop is in focus, but is moving, causing some blurring. I think my power setting on the flash was set too high, allowing a bit too much movement in the drop.

thats got to be difficult but I like it because its different.

Hope you dont mind me suggesting, but what if you were to do this:
blow out the candle first, dont want you burning yourself or your house down
coloured card or something you can auto-focus on and place at top of candle where
wick begins.
remove card
light candle and do bursts. Might get lucky and get both in focus, perhaps a slightly higher F number (2.8/3.5) so theres more of a focus range?

Ive never tried something like that so Im totally guessing :/

Great timing!

True, I think its due to motion blur.

Great shot! Love how the drop is displacing the smoke.

Another attempt, but still some motion blur present.

I wonder how many times it took to get this image.

I was using a timer, so I got it after 10 shots.

I wish the water drop was sharp.
