Default Water Drop Attempts

Here are a few water drop attempts. It was too cold to do any outside shooting.

Pretty good "attempts", I'd say.

I like the first. It's different than most water drops that get posted here.

Good work, Frank. I tried these before without much success. I might have to give it another shot! TFS.

It wasn't that hard Mike. I put a colorful bowl in the sink let the water run slowly and set up the wireless flash on the counter. I used my Minolta 50mm lens. These were shot hand held. I took about 25 shots and only got these few keepers.

Thanks
Frank
