Water drops

Water drops are one of my favorite things to shoot. I do the best I can without a macro lens. It would be so much easier if I had one. Oh... lens envy. This month my photography group is shooting water drops. here are a few attempts from today.

Anyone else shoot water drops? I'd love to see them.

Those are so pretty! Here are some I took a while back

Then to make things more interesting I shot some of colored milk drops.

My settings for these were

f/2.5 1/4000 sec and ISO 1600. Probably not the best settings for the photos, but it took me about 2 hours of trial and error to get it to work this well. I have lots to learn about it. :-)

Wow, these are great. I love the colored milk ones. I did some cream into coffee a while back those were fun also. I can't believe you got these without flash! I probably shot several hundred frames to get a few decent shots. Thank goodness for digital.

If you put a piece of colored paper under and behind the glass it will pick up all the colors. Here is an old one. There is red and orange paper under a glass pie plate and green in the background. I used construction paper.

Oh I love the swirled colors in the middle.

Wow, that is cool! I think my settings were the way they were because I didn't have/use a flash. I should try it with one...

You can use the pop up flash on your camera if it has one.

AWESOME!!! It almost looks like a piece of expensive blown glass! I love how the colors appear to be swirling inside the raised section of water.
