POST! ifyulle notice the colors, most of them were added in post but you can go along ways to aid that process by adding different lights when you shoot the drops.

In this case I was only using one light source, camera left flash. But there were a few times I added a color to shoot through and that enabled me to get funky in PS.

Crops trying to come and snatch my drops!

Yet another version of water drops. This time I had to do the drops by hand, I tried a new bottle but it totally was not working! That’ll teach me for trying new things :-)

I know some of these are OOF, the 1st one for instance but I couldn’t help myself as my face is the BG!

here’s a near home run but it’s got FAIL. I wanted to show the drop creating a pocket in the water though on this and another one too.

I thought the lines in the water were wild!

^ the one on the right looks like a melting Vader helmet…..never mind what the blue one below looks like!

That is to say, my water drops bottle don’t DEW what it suppota DEW no moh!

I have not shot any water drops pictures in several to many months now. I figured I could just pick up where I left off right? Wrong!

I am still struggling with the background and the lighting, still not quite what I envisioned. Don’t get me wrong, it’s decent, just not what I had in mind – too much “clutter” still. Plus, I’d really like more control over the lighting which is probably the hardest part about this to date for me.

So I shot these and had to squeeze my water bottle by hand most of the time (normally it’s supposed to release a steady flow of drops on it’s own).

I got some decent shots but not istock worthy, not by a long shot. BUT, this was mostly just a chance for me to have some fun :)
