Default Capturing the moment.
Hi all,
Not been feeling well for a couple of days now and just not well enough to go out of the house into the cold weather we are having. BUT missed using my camera so much that I got up and went to play in the kitchen while the wife was out and about. Just wanted to try and capture a classic "Water Droplet" image and ended up with a couple I liked. I hope you do too.


Wonderful Formations.
Another World

Congratulations David, thats one of the best water drop pictures I've seen posted on DPS for some time, and what a way to end the year.
Seasons greetings and I wish you and your family a very happy new year, and hope you're feeling better soon

Harry, its one of the best waterdrops I've seen ever. Perfect timing, colouring, lighting and texture. This is really a wonderful job you've done on it.

Michael, thank you for your kind comment, I am just happy that you like it enough to comment. I have to say that it was really trial and error today to capture these images but the result was worth the effort.
Have a wonderful New Year my friend and may it be full of Love and Laughter for you and your family.
David.

You're a bit of a dark horse my friend. TRhis is more than just messing about. Some people never get this far. It's quite remarkable. Can't stop looking at it. Well done David. Love to everyone at home. PAUL

Paul, this really was just messing around taking my mind off not feeling so well. I have seen other images on here and always wanted to try it myself, so I am happy with the results so far. May I just say "Thank You" to you for becoming such a good friend and I look forward to spending some quality time next year with you and some of the other folks on here trying to capture some special moments. It has been my pleasure to get to know such a gentleman.

Happy New Year to you and your lovely family.
God Bless my friend.
David
