Overdone water crowns...but for a purpose!

[equilution]

...so I know there have been a lot of water crowns lately, but I have a few that turned out pretty cool. One of them is for a project for the weekly assignment (Top Secret), but wanted to share the results so far. Thanks for looking. Hopefully we'll make some sense of the this new SYS format. Ciao!



I like this one for it's "self" reflections in the crown tips. check out the larger size for the detail.


Bullseye (for a DPS project, but not done yet!) I used an archery target underneath a glass pie plate.


Here's the setup for those interested. I use the second tripod on top of the table, precisely aligned so I could place the water dropper repeatably for a bullseye drop every time. I used a pie plate (with no embossed writing on the bottom) and filled it with about 3mm of water...and started shooting. Have fun with it!

Awesome results Jim! I especially love the setup pic too - apart from the bad news that I now need a 2nd tripod! Although I do have a Gorillapod, so maybe I can use him somehow. Love the shot for your assignment, but the side-on shots are super cool too.

Loved the timing on the second one where another drop is about to go into the crown

You did a great job on capturing the 'water crowns'! I esp like the bullseye

Wow the bullseye is awesome but so are all of these shots. Thanks for showing your setup.

Excellent crowns, Jim!! I really like them. Had a go at them over the weekend, but it was another fail. Thanks for showing your set up...guess I'll keep trying.

Thanks for sharing. I really love the first two especially!

Nice work there Jim. I haven't gotten to that yet, but perhaps someday. For now I'll let the experts take care of that stuff.

After watching that set up. I now see why I have never tried the water drop, looks like fun though, oh and the results justified the effort. I especially like the bullseye one. TFS

These results are great Jim, I like the set up too. I have yet to try this myself.

Outstanding work my friend.
Thank you for sharing these tips.
