Water Droplet Macros

[highlandscenics]

I love the "Toadstool" form that you have captured in no7. They are all cracking shots. But I particularly love 9 and 10. They are stunning and would'nt look out of place hanging at an art exhibition.

Possible contenders for the next POTY comp perhaps??

They are fantastic, my favourite is number 10.

thanks guys,

I really love no. 10 too, the incredible thing is that it all kind of works out under the laws of physics so everything is repeatable, with just a change by a few thousands of a second you can get a different moment in the life of a dropped droplet & follow it all the way through.

It might be cool to make a time lapse video with loads of shots showing the whole process.... I can feel another project coming on.

[kentlass]

That sounds a very interesting project. I look forward to seeing it

Great shots Cathus.
What`s this timer system and beam set up then. A DIY effort or commercially available. I`m looking for something like that or triggered by sound but lack the basic DIY skills needed.

Interesting videos here and here.... specialised equipment but worth knowing.

Thanks Cathus - that link was a 404 but I`ll google it

Later edit - maybe when I get a lottery win !

oops, an extra 't' crept in at the end, now corrected

I love these photographs Cathus. As a relative new comer to photography my aim is to take pics as good as these.
