Classic Water Drop Shot

I would like a crop from here.
Classic Water Drop Shot by Randy Son Of Robert.
I thought that I would try a water drop shot. There are many spectacular water drops on Flickr. It took me about 100 shots to get one that I felt was worth posting.

100 shots and not a dime spent on film. Any amateur can take a shot like this now. Thanks for all the kind comments Flickr buds.

I really like this. Especially with the red background. How many tries does it take to get a shot like this to work out?

I have not tried a water shot myself but have been thinking of it...Thanks for the warning on how many shots it takes. It is a GRAND one after all the work or should I say play.

Becky - Just keep your finger down and let that memory card fill up. One in a hundred should be worthy. The hard part is getting the focus just right (you have to use manual focus) and the exposure correct. I used the flash on this one.

yeah, it is worth 100 shots. I try it occasionally to get a drop like this, and still not satisfied with my results. It is always amazing.

Red background is enhancing the whole thing. good job.

where is my camera let me try it........... (gone for photo shoot)

What a terrific shot! Definitely going to give something like this a try, though I suspect it'll take me a great deal more than 100 shots! Thank goodness for digital! :)
