Classic Water Drop Shot
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.
This photo was taken on December 23, 2006 using a Canon EOS 30D.

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?
Spicy-Shots (78 months ago | reply)
great job!

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.
Randy Son Of Robert (78 months ago | reply)
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.

Pardesi* (74 months ago | reply)
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.

MetalOllie (72 months ago | reply)
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! :)
