20090113 - Anti-Splash

For the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

I tried this with coloured filters and with smaller apetures, but in the end I liked the plain white shallow DoF one best. Water from an aerated tap overflowing from a glass in the sink.

nb. No lenses, cameras or flash guns got (very) wet in the making of this pic :)

Here's the more colourful, more detailed version...

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/2.8 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I like both versions - but this is probably my favourite.

What an interesting experiment, beautiful patterns of light & shade
Bob Floyd14-Jan-2009 05:29
Wonderful abstract! I can see how a lot of experimentation might go into this. Way to work at it.

Makes an intriguing composition.
Faye White13-Jan-2009 21:46
looks like something under a microscope - fascinating!
Máire Uí Mhaicín13-Jan-2009 21:42
I thought it was bubble wrap also! Very impressive to have achieved this effect with water.
Mairéad13-Jan-2009 21:40
Works a treat in B&W - colour would have detracted from all the good things going on.
Johnny JAG13-Jan-2009 21:21
Cool!
McGarva13-Jan-2009 21:14
So simple but so much going on ... superb image!
Gail Davison13-Jan-2009 21:04

Stewart Mitchell13-Jan-2009 20:52
HeHe, LOL at Ann... Cool shot Phil, lack of colour suits the minimalist theme!
beverley harrison13-Jan-2009 20:52

Ann...13-Jan-2009 20:48
