Bucket List #89 dropping something into water and capturing the splash.....Tick

In an attempt to improve my skills I made use of the bright sun today, rigged a makeshift mini studio and tried this. I do not have a flash. I know a clear straight glass would have helped but I don't have one. Just experimenting.

[Lisa]

Well done. Great splash. I like the idea of a bucket list....great idea. Think I'll have to incorporate that into my project too.

[Gail]

I love this. You've captured the splash and drops beautifully.

@lisatork Thanks Lisa - My bucket is made up as I go along. I recommend it to everyone. Thanks for taking the time to loo and comment.

[Spanner]

@gailmmeek Thanks Gail. I am quietly pleased that I managed to do this. Of course not with the sophistication of most who do it but it was worth the effort for the experience.

[Suse♡]

I think this is better result than those flashed ones, more soft somehow. It´s good to experiment and get those bucketlist thimgies done, gosh I have a huge ammouth of those still to do!

[Keith Porteous]

cool shot!

[robrazer]

Wow, it's awesome :-)

[Ruby]

Brilliant! Well done!

[Claire]

Well that experiment turned out well...Great shot and a fav.

[Jan CB]

How do you do that? I think I have a five second delay between action and me actually pressing the "go" button.

[kali]

haha there is a plucked chicken doing a dance on the rim, taunting a cat!

[Rachel Withey]

These all came out really well. @kali66 that made me laugh, I can see that too

[James]

I wonder what it looks like when you drop a camera in water? :-) great shot Spanner...

[Shandy]

They came out real nice! I think I like this one best.

[Marelize Dry]

Very nice love the splash!

[Spanner]

@susale @kporte @robrazer @ourrube @clarita_71 @jancb Thank you all for your lovely comments. I am delighted that you have taken the time to look and comment. Much appreciated.

[Spanner]

@kali66 Brilliant!!

[Spanner]

@rachelwithey Now that is all I can see.

[Spanner]

@longexposure I hope I never find out. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

[Spanner]

@dandelionmama @ounooi Thank you both very much. I really appreciate your comments.

[kali]

actually now the 'cat' is someone doing a handstand, glee

[Spanner]

@kali66 I see a snails head - once more I noticed (only this morning) that the uploaded image is much darker than the one posted. Do you ever get that or is it just me?

[kali]

yes all the time

[Spanner]

@kali66 I am glad it is not just me being slightly insane.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I've never been able to get a shot like this! Well done. Love the high key xx

[Spanner]

@psychographer Thanks Lisa - it is surprisingly easy to do even without fancy studio equipment. I had to re-edit this morning as the image had gone dark when uploading. Hurrah for picmonkey.

[Lisa Pouncy]

@spanner I've tried and don't think it's easy ;o) xx

[Channelf]

I think that's my favourite of the 3 but not by far. The chicken is excellent. I should try that one day too.

[Spanner]

@channelf Thank you. I am glad I gave it a go. Wait for the summer and do it in bright sunlight outside. No mess to clean up.

[Jocasta]

This is a really great splash photo - not sure what it is I like about it - maybe it's better without flash.

[Spanner]

@jocasta thank you very much.

[Angela Tavan]

congratulations on a great splash shot! One could read all sorts of things into the shapes of the splash, which makes it quite fascinating.

[Lisa Stein]

Brilliant!

[Spanner]

@angelat thank you Angela.

[Spanner]

@pflaume Thank you very much.

[Jnadonza]

awesome

[Spanner]

@jnadonza thank you.
