±600 shots and this is all I have

Crispin

Greetings all,

After nearly 600 shots, around 2 hours later, this is the best of the bunch.:dunno
My first attempt at water drops. Not as easy as I thought:cry
Lucky we have digital. This would have taken 16 spools and who knows how much for developing.:dunno


Off to clean the kitcten now:cry

Good start. What's your EXIF for that shot?

Crispin

Good start? It's 1/600 success
Actually, it's what I was expecting.

If was 1/320s @f3.8 with a 90mm Tamron Macro.

I can see the water bill going up 'cause it was actually fun.

Thanks.

Looks good. I don't think I could sit there for 600 shots worth of trying. Kudos for getting it though.

The one keeper you got is a good one 600 tries huh? Wow you are tough.

It doesn't matter how many you took, if you got a keeper it was worth it!

This is good I love soft colour and the perfect shape of the drops.

I hear ya my friend....... I tried water drops too without success....then I discovered this.... if you actually drip the water quite fast it's much easier to catch a falling drop, rather than drip it really slow.... give that a try and see how you go.

Thats a good shot the one you've posted..... Skippy (Australia)
