home-made drops

basflt

as it is pouring outside , i decided to do some experimenting inside

i used an airbrush to "water" a plant
used a camera as background
made 5 shots with the aid of Nikon Camera Control
stacked with Zerene

thanks , Brian
it took a bit of work , but it can be better , i think , ..............
NCC is a funny tool for this type of photographing

refractions came out well,
the last frame needed exposure compensation to compensate for white background

basflt

thanks for reply , but ...
background is the clock itself ,
so , that would effect the refractions too , or not ?

btw
i used only one flash-light , off camera for more distance
the other highlights come from my window

Cool shots. The refraction in the first one originally had me thinking it was an eye.

yes, but the stem and drops look quite dark, underexposed.
just alter the exposure of the stem frames before stacking.

you mean in photoshop ?
no , i tried
i could , but it would involve a lot masking , copying and more editing

i think that the actual photo must be correct first [ light an so ]
give better result than editing too much

white clock in dark drops is good IMO , but i agree on background

thanks Phil
