Thanks Dave. That's full cream milk. You see, the extra viscosity helps form larger, more rounded... (OK, OK, cut the bull - you can be damn sure I just picked up whatever was handy in the fridge.)

Congratulations on the Donor of the Day award, AJ... I really do like your drop shots, you do very well at them. And this one is no exception to that rule. Is that skim or regular? :)
Best wishes,
Dave

Hi AJ
Your patience paid off with this lovely image. I think the high ISO setting decreased the potential sharpness significantly - bigger lights? I tried it once, briefly and would like to experiment more when I have some time - a type of shot every photographer should try! Regards.

I think your drop shots are great, AJ. I've been trying, but it seems the harder I try the worse I get. I'll be sure to check out Martin's shots. Maybe I can learn where I've been going wrong.:)

Hi Tycho! What else would you like to know? The settings are specified and there's quite some explanation in the "about".
Just to summarise, though:
- lighting from 500W halogen lamp
- blue bowl containing about 1cm of milk
- a 10cm drinking straw to pick up milk (finger over end) and drip out drops (release finger!)
- press shutter manually as finger is released
- repeat many times!
The bluish tint was enhanced in PSP9 (superb image editing software which, incidentally, is currently provided free with Lexar memory cards!)
Hope this helps, but if you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to tell you more...
AJ

Hi Doyle! I have been shooting RAW for a couple of months now, but have not yet totally got to grips with setting up an effective workflow.
I'll have a look at Capture NX, although I hate Nikon's Picture Project.
I very much like RawShooter but don't really want to work with dead software (and the way Adobe killed it off discourages me from using anything Adobe).
Bibble seems to be moving on from where RawShooter left off but is somewhat less elegant. But that's what I'm evaluating at the moment.
Incidentally, after my frustration with my image "Severe Frustration", I found that PSP 9 was able to do a superb job on the noise. (I see I'm being inconsistent here - I still use PSP 9 which is dead software, ever since JASC was killed off by COREL.)
So as you see, I'm up to my neck. Life was much simpler shooting JPGs...
AJ

Dude!!! You mean you haven't been shooting RAW?? Wow. So much more capability shooting RAW. Look into Capture NX by Nikon . . . a free trial version is available. I adore it!

AJ, congratulations.... very well done! I so enjoy reading your "about", it is all so helpful. I had no idea so much thought and effort went into a shot like this, I just thought some people are just "good" lol. It's good to know I'm not the only one getting frustrated and often give up... you've shown that perseverance eventually has it's rewards. Thank you for sharing what all went into this. 7+++
