Strawberry Drop by jgpittenger

Strawberry Drop

I must have shot this a thousand times before I got one I liked. I was dropping the strawberry into soda water but I think it had pretty much lost its fizz by now! This was part of my macro class homework.
Thanks so much for taking my raindrop shot to the PP. I really liked it so it's a delight to have you like it too and thanks also for the comments and visits and favs for my broken glass shot.
Nice stop action shot

hi Jane, try hitting this with some side light at exactly perpendicular to the lens. use a white reflective card (out of shot) on the opposite side to return some of your primary light back to the subject. an external flash is critical for shooting motion shots like the strawberry drop, but a table lamp can be used for more stationary subjects and longer exposures.

@cameronknowlton Great tips.thanks. I used my flash parallel to lens. I'll try it again after I get back from a weekend in the redwoods

@nick689908 you are so kind. It did take a lot of patience!

@nick689908 you might enjoy Bryan Peterson's online macro class- that's how I learned how to do this and the orange slice

@jgpittenger Thank you I will have a look at that
