Water snake

Had been a while since I played with water so had another go today. Still unable to get that elusive colliding drops shot. Will keep trying

[Jo]

It's a very cool shot. Can't wait to see your colliding water shot, am sure your patience will pay off.

[Nicola Thwaite]

This is magical. Love it.

[Al Perry]

Nicely done your focus is perfect on the drop.

[Cathy Donohoue]

I like what you did get here.
And I hear your pain when it is something else that you are trying to achieve and it eludes you. But what fun practicing and this is so cool.

[judith deacon]

It might not be what your were aiming for but it's a super image nonetheless! I love the crispness of the reflection in the water droplet against the out of focus background!

[Michelle]

Very cool! Love it

[☠northy]

this is a very cool image regardless! do you have one of those trigger thingies that helps with the timing?

[Karen H]

Very cool texture it picked to reflect

[Linda]

The clarity of the water and the pattern from the wallpaper, the shape of the drop all make for a really good shot. Well done.

[Danny G.]

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

[Joanne Hunter]

Cool. Great clarity. What do you use for lighting? Do you have an off camera flash or is this with your in-camera flash?

Thanks everyone for your views and comments :-)

[Abhijit]

@stuckinoz I do have an off camera flash but it can't keep up with the shooting speed. I use high speed shooting and the off camera only fires every 3-4 shots. It does give a cool effect but the drops weren't any good.
I use on camera flash at about 1/8 power so it fires rapidly

[Abhijit]

@northy No special trigger thingies. Just plain old timing with one hand while dropping drops with the other hand

[fife]

Wow. Fav.

[David Price]

The bubbles in the water look pretty cool as well as the focus background. This is definitely on my list.

[Caroline]

It looks like a cobra! Excellent shot.
