Bigger than life ~ Week 5

I did something for the first time today! I had always wanted to capture a drop hitting the water so I tried it today and here is the result… I am quite proud of my first attempt! 🙂

Tu as réussi une très belle photo Valérie ! La superposition de ces deux gouttes a un caractère insolite inatendu .Je me demande tout de même combien de prises de vue ont été necessaire pour pouvoir enfin retenir l’ultime?

nice shot, Valerie. You’ve covered a lot already, and I will not be surprised if one day you’ll be doing weddings and studio portraits.

  Thanks Orlando, but I’ve done weddings and studio portraits and I’d rather quit photography than doing that ever again… 😉

  Carry, Thanks! It was not all that complicated. See reply to Larry’s comment above. Maybe I’ll write a tutorial on how to achieve that shot.

You should be proud Valerie as the blue splash with ripples is gorgeous. The two drops together is a great technical achievement. Well done and lets see more of your versatility from street photography to autumnal leaves.

great shot. How did you get it? Did you use something to trigger our flash at the right moment?

  Larry,
  
  I put blue paper under and behind a clear glass bowl and remotely triggered the flash to bounce on the blue paper. The timing is pure luck!
