Classic Water Drop Shot

I would like a crop from here.

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 has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

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.

Randy Son Of Robert says:

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.

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! :)
