Drip by darylo

Drip

I've done a bit of reading about the infamous "water crown" shot and today's attempt is my placeholder as I'm experimenting first. This is clearly not a crown (but I did get some). The one thing I know I want is a fixed spot where the water comes out. I'd like to avoid a flash if possible because I don't have an external one and my camera flash cannot do a continuous shutter without it sending me a new "busy" message every few frames.

I used a shallow baking pan and the sink faucet above at a drip. Worth a try. Have to run. Sick kid home today and my shopping plans have been thwarted...

Update: Got another chance to do another one: http://365project.org/darylo/didn-t-make-cut/2013-12-17

I'm impressed! I tried this once to the tune of dismal failure,LOL

Well Daryl, you are certainly no drip, when it comes to catching water drops, if anything you are a Fountain of knowledge.

Great job! I tried a water crown once and it was embarrassing how bad it turned out.

This is great the clarity if the water rings and dip is spot on and I love the tones.

Super shot! You did well.

The droplets and rings are interesting without a crown.

HIgh five to you, Daryl! Water drops and crows have been very intimidating to me. Wonderful and very inspiring capture!
