water drops competition!

[Jessica]

it is about time!!! I know I am not the only one that finds these shots facinating! so, i am challenging others to take up this water drops challenge. tag your photos "waterdrop2015" we will allow the public to judge on 02/15/15

and other than annoucing the winners i will recuse myself from the challenge.

[Beau]

Great challenge, but I would rename the tag. Waterdrop has been used for a very long time.

[Jen]

How 'bout dropcomp? I'd be glad to join in.

[Kristen]

I'm so intimidated by water drops! I may try, but I'm not sure I have the equipment to be successful...

[Gillian]

or maybe waterdrop2015 I'll give it a try ;)

[Sydney Swogger]

waterdrops are one of my favorites! I'm in :)

[Jessica]

Ok "waterdrop2015" for the tag :) and trust me I started with a cheap lens and no extra equipment other than a table lamp. It's all about pushing yourself :)

[Annie D]

@catdudz change the tag up top so everyone knows - most people don't read comments lol

[Lisa Poland]

Fun! There's so many great challenges going on right now, I almost can't get them all in! LOL!

[Amit]

Great subject! I'm in.

[Debbie]

I'm looking forward to seeing the photos. I haven't attempted water drops yet, but I'm going to give it a go.

[Dianna Coile]

Just what I need to give this a try!

Just to clarify: are we talking about the water drop composition that involves capturing the reflection of objects/colors in each droplet? I think it was Amit that first posted a photo of the technique and described it for us. Others tried it and the photos were wonderful! Maybe, this challenge is for ALL kinds of water drop photos (single reflection, many droplets, splash,etc.)? I'd be open to any and all techniques but, just double checking! Thanks!

http://www.photosbykev.com/wordpress/tips-and-trick/water-droplet-photography/ that is an idea of what i was meaning but really any would be fun

[Sue]

I have had some spectacular fails in this, but I will give it another go! ;-)

[Amit]

@catdudz Here are some entries, Cat.
@paulam Paula - yes, you are right, I did try some - but this time they are different. check them out here and by tag.

[Amit]

And one more:

[Kristen]

I'm pretty happy with my first attempt...definitely need a brighter light the next time I try it.

[Jessica]

@lambda @krenneker theses are awesome!!

[Paula McLaughlin]

@lambda @krenneker Fantastic drops! I really want to try this!

[Amit]

@paulam @catdudz thanks for your comments. Here's another one from a different angle

[David Tom]

Alright... Thought it would be an interesting learning experience and it was. Definitely an exercise in patience. But after two hours, I was able to capture a few images like this...

[David Tom]

Here is my lucky water droplet collision...

[Amit]

@davidtom these are really cool, Tom.

[David Tom]

@lambda Thanks... Your images and the others inspired me to actually try this genre. I normally don't do much macro stuff so kudos to you in making me blow the dust off my macro lens.

[Rachel]

Does milk count?

[Jessica]

@888rachel it does!

Also, due to my husband dropping my laptop last night and cracking my screen :( I will be posting the entries for this contest tomorrow while he is at work so I can use his lol I've been trying to do it on my iPad but it keeps messing up lol I apologize for the delay.
