Anticipation! by bluemoon

Anticipation!

I was bored so I spent my afternoon trying to anticipate when the waterdrop would hit the water and time pressing the shutter release to coincide with the plop! Well lets just say I deleted more than I kept but I got a few keepers...maybe I'll put some of those in my 2nd album since it's empty! This is almost SOOC...added a little contrast and vignette in the corners.
Very cool capture!

Nice capture.

i love the way this came out! :)

Very nice effects. Do you have the dish sitting on top of something to give it all the colors?

@bribuccigrossi @15johnpatrick Thank you! :) It's definitely not the greatest example of capturing waterdrops but my grandson & I had great fun doing it!

@digitalrn Hi Rick, I used wrapping paper on the bottom to give it some color! I used a cake pan and it definitely wasn't giving me the look I wanted so I lined it with the paper. Next time I'll use a clear bowl and place the paper UNDER the bowl....my paper was looking bad towards the end!

Oh my god! I guess perseverance is the only way to get a shot like this right.

@stepheesue Thank you! It was kind of a crap shoot (literally)....for every good picture I got, I threw away dozens of not-so-good pictures! :)

@shemchin Thank you Sheila but I really need to move onto something else now before my husband decides to do an intervention! :)

@taglines Thank you Rosalinda, actually I'm not exactly known for my patience! Usually if something doesn't come easily to me fairly quickly I get frustrated and try something else! :)

@uprised Mariana I probably spent 2 hours total doing water shots. I took some, imported...took some more & imported....then deleted MOST of them! :)
