And for those of you wondering what's up with this shot:
I was experimenting with water drop splashes; this is the second time attempting it (my first is here: http://365project.org/grizzlysghost/365/2012-03-13)
I am now selling some of my prints!

@grizzlysghost thats weird I was sure I clicked on the droplet just hitting the water which you said was out slightly out of focus.I am very tired and probably clicked on the wrong thing sorry! didnt mean to offend!
well DANG! that's so awesome... i bow down (so you can't see how green with jeaolousy i am ;D)... i take it you used a superduper flash? the exif shows a 1 second exposure, but the shot is so bleepin' crisp!
@zuzana Thank you Zuzana :) @myautofocuslife Thank you Livia! I passed that on to Bennett and he licked me on my eyeball :) @northy Yep, I definitely went the flash route. I tried strong light, high ISO and wide-open lens but just wasn't getting the results I was looking for. So I waited until dark, set shutter speed to 1 sec, drip-flash-drip-flashed for about 600 shots and called it a night :) Thanks!
Aaron.....I am not worthy......My wife and I have been looking at these water droplet pics of yours, and we are speechless. In f***ing credible. I want to be Aaron when I grow up. Awestruck FAV
@jaboney Haha, you crack me up Mike! Thanks so much! :) I will post my setup a little later tonight with an explanation for anyone who wants to give it a go, or is frustrated with their own results. Thanks again LOL :)
@cmc1200 I have to admit it was a little difficult at f/5 but I really wanted the background to be blurred. All told though, it didn't really take much time or thought. I will try and shoot a little more today and take a picture of my setup :)
Another one I want to try but will have to wait! This is a cool one since you used just one drop....i thought it was a crystal ball shot at first. Very cool!
@lazydaisy0413 Thanks Marie!
