water splashes and drops Photo Gallery by Arlon at pbase.com

water splashes and drops

These where very simple photos taken at the spur of the moment while I was supposed to be washing dishes. Pictures where taken on ceremic dinner plates in the kitchen sink. Flash is a secondhand sunpak 383 (purely manual flash). Lenses where either a 1967 vintage 55mm nikkor micro or a 135mm "E" lens with an old vivitar extension tube. Nothing fancy here, just fun.

Fantastic shots!.. Have you tried outside? I have been trying hard to catch rain drops falling in a bowl of water in the garden or from a tap by a sunny day. It is fun too but of course, my results have been far from your accomplishments. I dare show some of my shots. Bravo.

I played around with this idea, but used an audio freezer to catch all shots with the sound of the liquid hitting the surface
