Messing about with water drops...

Seeing as it wont stop raining here at the moment and i havent really managed to get out for very long, i figured id try to photograph some water drops. Here is what i came up with. Comments welcomed.

well they look great to me. i won't even consider attempting those type of shot myself. too hard.

Great shot. Well done.

Interesting shots.

Water is a fascinating material. The surface tension is so high for a low-viscosity liquid that you can see amazing effects.

Strangely enough, I was having a play with this myself yesterday. Several 'nearly' shots, but nothing worth posting I'm afraid. Hard to get everything in sharp focus.

mind posting the techniques used for these shots?

Some lovely crown shots

Good stuff, i was trying this sort of thing the other day. Not easy!

Your sensor's dirty!

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Not at all..Basically i filled up a sink with water in our bathroom then opened the tap till it was just a driping slightly i tried to match it as close to the pop up flash recycle time on the 30D, prefocused on my finger where the drops were hitting then rested the camera on the edge of the sink. I took my eye off the viewfinder and watched the the tap so i could see when the drop was about to fall and better judge when to fire the shutter.

Unfortunatley i cant remember camera settings and i shot these in jpeg by mistake but i think they were around f16.

Hope that helps.

Nice shots Alistair.

I tried a few of these the other night, but haven't had a chance to upload them yet.

Don't know if I'll dare post them now though...
