Drip

Posted by Laurie (Lincoln, United States) on 27 December 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Sometimes, you're not doing anything really important, like reading a book, cleaning, or doing dishes, but you look up and something you've looked at before countless times just stands out in a way you've never noticed before.

That's what inspired this pic.

Amazing shot! I played with the same 'technique' for about 3 hours last night!! Never been so patient in my life! Well done!

@Ina: I know what you mean about patience. Personally, I'm dreading the water bill... Thanks for the comment, Ina! =-)

That is a lot of patience on your side to get the one perfect shot here. Kudos.

Lia from Atlanta, United States

Wow incredible! How do you take a shot like that? (Newbie here ;) )

28 Dec 2007 3:44pm

@Lia: Thanks for the comment, Lia! It took many, many, many, many tries to get this one that I was satified with. I used an 18-55mm lens, I think my ISO was set at 1600...you need to used a high ISO to capture motion like this. I think I also had the flash firing as well. It just takes a little patience and keep trying at it...you'll get the shot you like. Good luck! :-)

Eric from Bartlett, United States

wow, excellent shot! I have always wanted to try water drop shots, I just may do that this weekend!

@Eric: Thanks Eric! It took a while to do it, but it was fun and worth! Good luck! =-)

Barbara from Florida, United States

Phenomenal capture. The drip is like a chain of beads. I am always fascinated by drip/drop shots. I have yet to focus on capturing one. Yours certainly gives me the inspiration to do so. Excellent.

@Barbara: Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Barbara! Good luck with your shots! =-)

Doug from Long Beach, United States

Naren from Middletown, CT, United States

Stunning shot! I also tried a water drop capture and was successful...

@Naren: Thanks Naren! These kind of shots are painstaking to capture, but it's fun! Thanks for the comment! =-)

Nishana from Calicut, India

Hmm..they look like a string of beads..i like the reflection in the last drop. the drop itself looks like a tiny mirror to me..

@Nishana: Yeah, it does, doesn't it. I'm glad you like the image! Thanks for the comment, Nishana! =-)

Matthew from Oxford/Kirkham, United Kingdom

Wow, that's superb. Like you say, something normal but it can really be made to stand out.

I'm new to aminus3 but is there a way to "favourite" photos like this from other peoples blogs, like on flickr?
Thanks.

@Matthew: Thanks for the comment, Matthew! I'm glad you like the image. I'm sorry, I don't know how to "favorite" the images. You might try to send an email to the Am3 folks and ask them if there is a way. Thanks for visiting! =-)
