So know that Wakeboarding season has come to an end, and Snowboard season hasn't started, I got around to trying some more water drop photos. I tried to capture the moment when the drop bounces back up and is hit with the next falling drop! Well I got some,and here are some of my favorites. <BR> <BR>This first set I call <b>Blue Drops:</b> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644219.jpg" alt="1"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644220.jpg" alt="2"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644221.jpg" alt="3"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644222.jpg" alt="4">

Good stuff. Have spent some time with these a few times before. Awesome job, can definitely be tricky. What was the lighting setup?

And this last set is my favorite and I call it <b>Got Milk Drops:</b> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644235.jpg" alt="1"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644236.jpg" alt="2"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644237.jpg" alt="3"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644238.jpg" alt="4"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644239.jpg" alt="5"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644240.jpg" alt="6"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644241.jpg" alt="7"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644242.jpg" alt="8"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/644243.jpg" alt="9">

wow, the got milk ones are nuts! nice work!

The milk shots are great. They look like mushrooms.

Nice work! The milk shots have an awesome look to them. I really like the black drop #2 as well. I like the separation.

very cool. i like the "river bed drops" series. the colorful pebbles create an awesome background! the second one in that series is my fav.

Very cool!

Jakob, <BR>Those are amazing. The milk and the riverbed are my favorites. Very creative!

Awesome work! What focal length were you shooting at? And what lighting were you using? <BR> <BR>I can't wait to set up my in home office/studio!

Thanks everyone! <BR> <BR>These were all shot with my Oly E-510 @ 180mm (<a href="mailto:360mm@35mm">360mm@35mm</a> eq), f8-f11 1/160th and a single Metz 48AF-1 off camera flash. <BR> <BR>Riley, <BR>It sure would be nice to have an office/studio. I got my rig setup in the living room, shot for about a day, and then had to tear it all down<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0>

Nice job

Let's see a pic of the set up.

Yeah I hate doing that! Trying to get it all cleaned up before the wifey gets home! Even though you did this in your living room it makes me want to make a room of my house an office/studio permanently just so I can play whenever. As I am sure you and anyone else on here that doesn't have the luxury of having a set up. <BR> <BR>Kudos on the pics they are awesome! And even more awesome knowing now the cleanup that came after! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>
