Tonight I think I took about 200 photos of water drops before I finally settled on one that I was fairly satisfied with. I would have prefered to only have the 3 drops here and if I had photoshop I would probably removed the others from this shot... But as I don't have it, this will do.
It took me a little while to get the hang of capturing the drops - I soon realised they were falling too slowly and once I opened the tap up a little, I was snapping some half decent shots.
At least I had a nice clean apple to eat once finished :-)
This wouldn't have been today's photo if I was a little quicker getting my camera out of my bag this lunchtime. I left the office at 12:30 just as a Spitfire and Lancaster bomber flew really low directly overhead as part of the ceremony marking 70 years since the start of the Blitz .
That must of been a site seeing and feeling the Spitfire and Lancaster bombers flying overhead! Nice drop picture Andy, what patients you must of had to get the shot.
Wow, was it freaky seeing a bomber flying overhead? When my husband was a kid in Coventry, he heard the air raid sirens go off in the middle of the night and was frozen with terror. He kept waiting for his parents to come in but they never did. In the morning, they all told him he was crazy--that no siren when off. But later that day, it was all over the news. Hardly seems effective if they only wake 8 year old kids.
Nice shot andy, similar to one of my early ones: http://365project.org/vikdaddy/365/2010-05-25 ...something you want to tell me?! Are you getting me back for taking a photo of those phone boxes??!
Thanks guys - Kari - I've seen the planes go overhead many times (growing up near Portsmouth there was always plenty of military events taking place) but they are always good to see. As for the air-raid siren - a few miles from my school was an old (now closed down) asylum and the siren would go off every now and again – never found out why but, but being typical kids, we use to say it was when a patient went on the run…
