Water Droplets

Well after reading a few thigns about Water Droplet photography on Talk Photograhy, I thought I'd give it a try. Had quite abit of fun trying different ways of setup.

Ended up not using my tripod, using my bog stanrd 18-55is Canon kit lens and my YN467 Flash on camera.

The results (a few of them anyway)

#3 is my favourite - although #1 is cool (kinda looks like a flower). Quite impressed given it's shot with the kit lens!

Whoa nice results
I was genuinely thinking about trying some shots like this the other night as I was bored but wouldn't know where to start lol

Thanks for the replys guys

Its probably the first time I've been able to get pretty decent shots after thinking 'I want to take photos of this' and it actually works out.

I am intrigued Ksanti what you used for your shots? Sink, basin, dropper, camera lense etc. I really want to try this again but will have to figure out more about the reflections, get a bit of colour into it. Also I was at the far end of my lense (55) so I wouldn't get the back wall in, not a very deep sink may try the bath next haha!

I will also send you an E-mail with the original StonedPenguin when I get round to going through them all again, got about 100! haha

Bounced an off camera YN-560 off of a piece of a4 cartridge paper for my first black and white set of them, and then off two pieces of (acrylic) painted a4 to get the colour in the second series, as seen in the first two images. The water was just in a big unused black tray in the darkroom at my school and I dropped the water from a measuring cylinder, with my camera on the tripod and using another RF-603 to trigger the shutter

used a Canon 5D classic and a Tamron 90 2.8, though I wasn't really near the macro end for any of them

I have a photo of the setup on my desktop I think so I'll get one up in a bit
