Day 164|Water Drop Collision Part I by bobbyj

Day 164|Water Drop Collision Part I

164 / 365
Starting a whole new series of water drop collisions. I've done water crowns before, but have never been able to get water drop collisions. The shots in the next few days took over 2000 photos to get. Timing and patience was everything, I just never knew when I would get the shot or not.

Starting off the series is probably my favourite of the whole bunch. This was a water drop that had bounced back up and collided with one coming down during mid air. No photoshop editing in this at all! Pretty much straight out of the camera, except for some increase in vibrance.

P.P

I like this! The collision is amazing! Patience pays off.

Amazing, definite FAV.

Nicely done there, Bobby!! Will have to try this one day, sounds like fun... if not frustrating lol. What did you do for your setup?
posted May 12th, 2012  
Ok Bobby... How? lol I have to fave this :) You have captured this perfectly and I for one really understand how difficult a shot like that is to capture. How the heck did you get the drops to collide? I know some people use Automatice droppers that are timed in order o enable the drops to collide, and then use laser triggers on flashes etc to achieve the same, is this how you captured it? I want to know the tiny details :) Massive well done from me, I am impressed :) x

posted May 12th, 2012  
Amazing job, Jani. Gotta fav for the effort, skill and patience. Reading Shell's comment above me, I take it you're an accounant? Love that you are talented in such two very different ways. :)
