A few days ago, I wrote about a water drop experiment and showed the resulting images . If you’re interested in playing with water drop photography, read this link – it’ll explain one way it can be done. … Since my images turned out rather more, ah, abstract as opposed to nice and crisp, I redid the experiment.

Nikon D90, 105mm focal length, 1/125 sec at f/5.6, ISO 3200, no flash There’s a tutorial over at Digital Photography School, which is, by the way, a cool photographic website, on water droplet photography . … Instead of using a coloured plate below a glass dish for color and a piece of coloured paper for the background, my setup is this: I put my cutting board over the sink, a glass pie plate on the cutting board, and added food colouring to the water in the pie plate so I wouldn’t have to worry about a nonexistent coloured plate. … It was difficult to get the water drops in focus – my kitchen is not very bright, much to my dismay. 🙂 On the other hand, it was enough fun that this is something I’ll definitely do again. 😀 It’ll be interesting to see how future experiments end up.

These are pictures of flowering grass, a fairly common plant, yeah? I played around with tints, colours, and so on to see what kind of effects I’d get and what could be created out of a common plant. … What would you do if you were playing with these images?

I played with the tint until I got it firmly into the browns. Okay, so this would be considered less a photograph and more photographic art or something, I imagine. I’m okay with that. 🙂 What do you think of the photo?

But mostly play. 🙂 I set myself on the dining room table with a foil-covered cake tray for the base and a lamp I use for sewing on the left. … You know, with a kid’s bubble thingie that we keep for the nieces and nephews to play with. 😀 Hey, I love blowing bubbles anyway, so for me, this was just an excuse… I have a few other things I want to do with blowing bubbles, but that’ll be another day…

What do you think? Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it? 🙂

This would be another experiment with colour and light and such. What do you think? Do you…

What do you think? Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it? 🙂

I’ve been playing around more with the effects, seeing what I like, seeing what can be done….
