Nice splash shot Jammy - I really want to try this too! CJ

This is great Jamdiver! I've done hundreds and hundreds of these and I know how tough they are! I can't wait to try some more with my new lens and camera! It should be great fun!

I'd love to see the make shift studios you must create for these shots. I don't know how you manage perfect focus then perfect timing. -COAmature

You rock Jammy! (and so does your new camera)

Hey jano, The sink originally was pinkish, but I just changed the colour temperature in raw to a blueish one. The 'spots' are actually micro-bubbles I think created by the drop hitting the water. Water is just naturally this silky smooth, seriously I didn't do anything to get that look. The only sort of pp on this is levels, curves, contrast, sharpen.... Nothing too drastic. As for the setup, I just put my macro lens on manual mode, turned down the faucet so it was a drop every few seconds or so, and just shot as soon as I saw the drop in the frame, having no shutter lag really helps. Internal flash was used, I have another drop that i'll post in the main thread along with some info there. - Jamdiver

How did you light this and pull this off Jammy? How did you get the nice silky color? There are a couple of spots I would clone out. Not having a dslr, are those dust spots or ....? I love these shots and really want to xp with them.... How did you do the set up? :) jano

Thanks for the feedback guys, Cat i've made the change :). Jano, I shot this with manual focus so getting the right focus was a bit difficult. The top drop is slightly nearer to the camera than the drop that hits the water, hence the difference in focus.. - Jamdiver

Wonderfully captured! Few pointers if you don't mind (*): Make it a vertical crop and straighten the drop. -Cat

ohhhhhh I want to do these too but just can't seem to... Jammy I wish there was more focus on the top of the splash....the litle bubble on top - or am I just looking at this in the wrong way? Very silky. jano
