nice pic, anyway may i know why you make your picture B&W, im just curious...

May I ask how you did that? I tried doing it with a fast shutter speed, but didn't work. The water looks like a "stream" not a droplet I have a SX10

well i like the black and white cause those are neutral colors, our eyes perceive only 2 colors, black and white, there is no distraction by all the other colors and since our eyes are not distracted by other colors, the b&w picture shows the real, the truth.

well i took that picture with a point and shoot camera....i used 1/640 sec, ISO 400 (i didn't use the flash) f5.9 and i had to play with the distance between my camera and the droplets in order to get them in focus. It takes a lot of patience, but when you finally get your shot, it is one of those happiest moment. So good luck with it

Very nice one, Meedioze. This kind of work surely grinds you, doesn't it?

Here is my attempt the other day which took me the whole afternoon.



Kind regards,
