Seventh Invasion of Mars

The set up. A black roasting pot from the kitchen, filled it with water, put it on a table and surrounded it with three flood lamps. Used album covers, towels, stained glass and gift wrap for different backgrounds. I supported a turkey baster filled with water above with a board and pvc framing. I drilled a whole in the board to slide the baster in. I used a ruler to set manual focus where the water dropped. Then while squeezing the baster with one hand I released the shutter with the other. Shot with E500 and 510, 50-200 Zuiko and Canon 500D closeup lens on tripod. The Exif says "no flash" but I know I used it where shutter speed is 1/160. I plan on shooting more as time goes on.

Hmmm... it's snowing outside. When you tire of tromping in the snow, get "the set up" and shoot some more water droplets! Beautifully done! V.

Your photos have beautiful colors and clarity. I would never guess that shooting them is such a hard work. Thank you for explanation how to do that magic. Alina

well, very interesting. hard to pick a favorite, but I think it's one of the 'golden' ones.
I liked seeing your setup. Nice to know a 'homemade' setup can produce great results. K
