Water drops again

Once again I set up in the bathroom so I could have water drops dripping from a plastic bag over head. The top one has a red acetate sheet that reflected the color and the bottom two just had white. Blue color is from the camera white balance and a flash. These were done for Camera Club since I could not find the original ones after my desktop computer crashed.  

Left over water drop

Here is a water drop that was done with the others that I posted. This had a green back drop instead of the blue and drop has disappeared into the water.

Water splashes

These are a couple of the water splashes that I did earlier. The top one is the second attempt and used the heavy glass crystal which really hit hard and was happy that both survived.  The first one was move to the sunroom window and I used natural light.  The lower one is from the first time using a light behind the screen which created the circle. The back screen was also too close and the splashing water on it created a problem.

Drops again

Again, water drops. This one has reflected spots on it from??? , which makes it less than perfect.

Almost connected

This one looks like it is about to connect with the previous drop. OR, maybe it is bouncing back out of the water.

My 100th post

This was done the same day as the blue water drop. When I did these I ended up putting a card table in my bathroom to use the shower rod to hang the plastic bag of water from. When my son came over he thought it strange that I had a card table in the bathroom. Okay, my house has become a photography studio.

In the last 100 days I have learned more about table top photography than the preceding 10 years of serious photography. Knowing that I would need to have a photo to post kept me searching for new ideas and how to achieve them. Library books, youtube, pinterest and just keeping my eyes open for new possibilities. Before starting this project, I would not have bothered to put in the time and effort it has taken for the creative water photography if I had not accepted Judy Myers challenge to "take a photo a day for a year". It turned into post a photo a day. So Thank You Judy.

Splash

This is a photo from a previous session of the high speed water drops. This is what it looks like after the water drop enters the water.

Water drop

This is water dripping into a bowl of clear water and colored paper underneith. I set the table for the bowl 1/2 in the bath tub and 1/2 out. I then hung a plastic bag with a pin hole in it from the shower curtain rod to give me the water drip. Guessing when it would hit was impossible. Anything I got was pure luck. I took over 300 photos and saved about 20. Love digital-- just delete!
