My first stab at water droplets

Never tried this before so didn't know what to expect but was actually rather pleased with these for a first effort. Need lots more practice and a better set up though!

Lovely colours, especially the predominantly blue ones.

How did you do these?

(And #5 looks like it should be in the Ann Summers catalogue!!)

LOL a few people have commented on #5

It's not that hard to do actually. Used a translucent tupperware bowl with a wireless flash directed into the side of it to light the water from underneath. Suspended a dripping bag of water above it. Use a fairly dark environment so the principal source of light is the flash, which then serves to freeze the motion. Colours are introduced by various means, I tried colouring the water and placing the bowl on top of different coloured towels.

Lots of trial and error is involved but it's good fun. What I really need is a better system for producing the drips than a bag of water so need to look into that for next time.

2,3 6 7 and 9 - my favourites. Love the colours you've used.

I would be pleased too, they are fab!

No.5 tickled my immature side

Thanks all

The colours weren't quite that 'strong' in reality - I used a bit of artistic licence whilst playing with the vibrance and saturation controls in LR

At least that's all it tickled.
