    I love #3. How did you set this shot up? Is there a picture of your set up? What is under the water to get such nice colors? I'm really interested in trying this more. Please tell us more about your methods.

    The only thing that bothers me about photo 3 is the DOF. I really want to see both of the nice round drops very sharp. However, I know how difficult it is to get shots like these. Great Work!

    Pilznr,

    I took this shot in a dark toilet with external flash, iso 1600, I had a colourfull plate under water. I found bit difficult to focus in the dark, but now I have ordered time machine, this should make my life bit easyer:)

    regards

    #1 is stunning. I can't wait to get my new macro out, and get cool shots like that. Can't wait to see more.

    Lovely series of drip/drop shots with nice refractions. I know Dalantech who posts here sometimes has used timer triggers.

    Hi Matasa, these look great too thumb.gif

    Tell me, did you take many shots before you got a keeper?
    I gotta try this some day, you make it look so simple, but I'm sure it's not.

    Thanks for sharing ........ Skippy :D

    photo N2 and N3 was my first try and I took about 200 shots and 5 or 6 came out OK. N1 took me about 15 shots

    zacker,

    I should have used word bathroom instead of toilet and probable mention sink as well :)

    Wow nice shots. I wonder if my Canon 24-70mm F2.8L would be macro enough to take these kinds of shots.
