I Should Have Started With Flowers! by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

I Should Have Started With Flowers!

In an hour and a bit I took 785 photos, of which only 29 were successful droplets (3% success rate) or crowns, of which I processed only 3.
I made quite a few puddles on the kitchen floor, wrecked an artist's board by getting it soaked but got to grips with a(nother) new lens.
(Oh and if He notices the new lens, I'm going to say 'What this old thing?? Had it ages')
Great effect. I was going to play with water drops but ran out of time.

yes, this and the smoke, you get to spend half the shutter actuation of your camera. but when you get the perfect shot, it's all worth it, especially with that old lens! 😜 aces!

Thank you all so very, very much!!! I don't think I'll do it again for a long time!!!! 💧

@randystreat Kathy all I used was a desk lamp and a silver reflecting board. Lots of processing in Affinity afterwards
