A Statistical Blip by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

A Statistical Blip

Of the 191 shots I took 150 captured a droplet hitting the surface (78% success). Of these only 14 made the grade to be edited (7% success rate) and of these I only processed 7 (3% over all success rate)

This one is 1/191 success so I've rounded my success rate to 1%!

Thank you to Sue and Junko for inspiration!
Yeah, but… What a success! FAV
February 14th, 2022  
I'd be pleased to have this success rate.
It is a fabulous result!
Is that a face there in the sphere at the top?
February 14th, 2022  
Awesome! Well worth all that work.
February 14th, 2022  
very nice. i like the colours. if your camera has a 'sports' feature, you can turn it on and it will capture a series of shots and you have a more likelihood of capturing two or three good shots in one click. and you save your camera's shutter actuation.

@summerfield haven't yet learnt how to get flash to coordinate with the multishots of the camera!! But thank you Vikki

@tinley23 it was fun Lesley

@monikozi possibly, I don't see it though Moni

@mcsiegle yeah, I'm chuffed. Thanks Mary
February 14th, 2022

@ziggy77 I used glittery card!

@merrelyn hung a bag, with a pin hole, on clothes airer which was standing in the bath, focused on where drops land in casserole dish full of water, set up flash so no ambient light, pressed shutter when drop falling and crossed my fingers.

@wakelys all my milky ones and glycerine and water ones failed!!!
