......#77 out of 425 shot attempts!
A year in, and this is my first water drop post. Learnt a lot, .....mostly from my mistakes!

There were plenty of 'passable' crowns, but I was looking for something a bit 'different', so I chose this shot and flipped it.

[Caroline]

It really is a crown! A very successful water shot.

[Jel]

WOW!

[Marie]

Brilliant capture.

[vorka]

Well done Lyn, great shot.

[Nicole Campbell]

Really great shot, well done. This is something I want to try but it will need to be when the girls aren't around!

[Toni :)]

brilliant water crown Lyn, your persistence really paid off :)

[Izzy Mathie]

Amazing shot! I remember the first water crown day too... that was a long one! I think i took about 400 too! nice one x

[judith deacon]

I haven't tried this yet and when you talk about 425 shots I think I may give it a miss until I retire! This is just beautiful though and a perfect crown. Well done.

So.....I love the variety of you photos and it made choosing a challenge really hard so how about we go 'head to head' on the same subject then can help each other along the way? :) I love how every day you have a totally new subject to the last photo! :) Fabulous project Lynn :)

@judithdeacon thanks Judith - I promised @michelleyoung a long time ago that I would eventually tackle some water drops, so it feels great not to have this hanging over my head any longer. I would need to practice on hundreds of thousands of more shots before I could even to begin approach Michelle's level ;D. http://365project.org/michelleyoung/365/2012-01-09

Hey there! Push buddy @emmaroobers ...so.... its "right back at you " !!! Oh... of all the things I had (nervously) expected, that challenge was not one of them! Sounds good. I know I jump around with my project approach ( I hope that one day I might find 'my' style) - and I loved the discipline of your first year whole of month colour theme approach. Happy to help in any way can. I have never used the traditional still-life object light painting approach, so that will certainly be a challenge for me.
some light paint shots from my favs - http://365project.org/stiggle/365/2011-12-27 http://365project.org/gavincci/365/2011-12-04 http://365project.org/kloud/365/2011-12-10
...here we go....once more into unknown 365 territory :D

[Lyn Todd]

@jesperani @jenrobcarr thanks ladies - I feel really chuffed that I have tackled it at last, and your favs are certainly icing on the cake for this one! :D

[KWind]

That's stunning! Well done!

[Emily]

wow this is incredible i still cant work out how people can capture this so well, i guess my camera doesnt ahve the right settings but wow well done!

[Lindy]

So impressed with your crown. Amazing!

[Beau]

Wow...great capture. Love the pov and how you chose a different perspective. Great lighting and clarity. Focus is perfect. Doing a week of water drops along with @tanja_1211. Its a fun experience, frustrating, but pleasantly fulfilling when you get a great capture.

[Linda Agne]

awesome - something else for me to try

[Jorge]

Love the reflection

[Frida]

catching up with projects slowly and this is stunning! I also like your processing a lot here, like liquid silver! Fave for sure!

[Anya]

Great job! I haven't even tried this trick not even once....:)
