B&W water drops

[jake klein]

Taken at about 1pm with a bright sun shining through a window. There was a baking pan laying across the sink soaking. I used an sb600 camera right with a paper towel to diffuse. I also diffused the light from the window with another paper towel. D90 with a tokina 100mm f2.8 macro .

thanks for sharing Jake.

Jake Klein: Black and White Water Drops #2

Jake,

Panoramic! This one is like from another planet! I wonder what the mass of the planet would have to be for drops to bounce is slow motion like that? On another technical note, what, in your experience, led you to diffuse the light and how was the flash positioned in reference to the window light and the water surface.

It was so bright coming through the window I was getting a lot of motion blur. I am still getting some on these to but not as much.


My flash was firing directly from the right of the subject and the sunlight was coming from straight behind the subject and above.

Jake,

Perhaps the light must have been specular and that was the issue, not motion blur. I think that the hard light caused the drops to have white out. Likely, the sensels were overloaded and leaked to the adjacent ones causing smearing. With more light, motion blur would otherwise be decreased, not increased.

I'd love to see a shot of such "motion blur".

Actually, looking back at the exposures I took the last of the three I posted did not h ave the diffusion between the window and the subject. So those streaks are not motion blur but smearing?

Jake, I find this image extraordinary and fascinating. The droplets theme has been done to death, but I have never seen such a powerful illustration of the effect of a single droplet at an almost-microscopic scale (yet captured in a manner the defies "scale" altogether). It looks like planetary re-entry. Well done!
