My first attempt at water drops

[Jmf3725]

It's rainy today and I thought about going out to try my hand at capturing water drops, but the thought of me soaking my camera and ruining it, over-ruled that idea.

SO, I did the next best thing, I turned on the kitchen faucet just enough to create a steady drip and attempted there. I took a lid from a rubbermaid tote and placed it behind the sink to give a colorful backdrop and started snapping away. Here are the results.



Buster decided he was intrigued by the dripping.


Looks good enough to drink.


Like how I can roll my tongue?

sweet shots of your cat!!!, excellent detail and whatnot on the tongue in the 3rd shot and then on his whole face in the 4th, great job!

LOL... I love them, so cool and creative! Makes me want to try the same (without the kitty... i don't have one). What lense are you using for these shots?

[ukglyn]

Wow you did good, the water drips & the cat shots, the detail in busters tongue is amazing.
Excellent work!

Thanks for the comments!

I just got a Zuiko Digital 35mm macro lens in from Adorama last week. Hopefully I can score a 50mm macro at a decent price soon, but I've spent enough in the past few months and need to lay off for a bit...

Anyway, I paired the 35mm with my Olympus macro extension tube. I think I could have gotten slightly better shots had I used a tripod, but I didn't feel like dragging them into my kitchen since it's not that big anyway.
