The shadows are real, everything is. it was a PITA to get the timing right, I took about 40 pics, and this still isn't quite what I wanted, but I loved the 2 flying droplets.

Not sure if I am supposed to ask this or not...? Did you capture the drops in mid air, or ad the shadow later? Nice work either way!

This is great. A simple shot. Less is more and all that. It really looks like the solder is moving. Very imaginative for the theme set. I need to think harder about this challenge - iso3200
