~before crash~

Uploaded: November 11, 2005

Description

another try of catching drops.

This time I prefered to leave it in nature colors only added more vivacity to the blue.

This is a drop catched before crashing and the ripples are from the previous drop.

1/60s - f/8 - iso 200 - with sigma macro 105mm - on tripod with flash and release cord.

I love this shot. I have the Pentax *ist DS and the same 105 Sigma lens. Thanks to you I now know how to set up for this. I enjoy macro and always thought water would be fun. My photos are just for fun, a pre-retirement (3 yrs to go) hobby. Thanks for the beautiful shot and the advice. #2819527

Thank you Mike, I'm glad it helped you :o) #2820860
