About I took this water droplet photo last night in my house. I filled a bowl with water, then added some mouthwash for colouring. I then set up my Canon PowerShot G5 on the tripod, and dropped water into the bowl with a spoon. I used my integrated flash to illuminate the droplet, which was really important because the lighting in my house (and it was night time) is very poor. I took about 100 shots, and getting the timing right is quite difficult - mostly luck! I got about five good shots from 100, and this is the one I like most - but every droplet photo is different, so it's nice to experiment.

Thank you to everyone for your comments.

To José: I would have posted the other ones, but they were too similar to this one, so I'd rather do something a bit different so I can post them instead. But if you want me to upload any of the other images to my web space, then email me and I'll do it (ste@sm9.co.uk).

To Subha: I did have my camera in Macro mode, but that's because I had the camera about 12-15 inches away from the droplet - I had it this close due to the poor light. If you want to try something yourself, then you don't need macro mode if you have better lighting (and don't want to risk getting your camera wet!), let me know if you come up with anything!

To Nancy: Yes, it did take quite a lot of attempts! Although the first 30-40 shots were taken in poor lighting, so that's why they weren't very good. Once I added in a desk lamp for additional lighting, I had much more success, but of course, it was still a tricky thing to capture. The red colouring on the droplet is a reflection of my red football shirt! ;-)

To Hermen: The explanation is no problems, I get quite a lot of help from websites like this, so it's only fair if I try and share anything that I do, thanks.

To Maura: Thank you for the tips and techniques. I've looked at the droplet photos in your portfolio and they are great! I will be looking forwarded to trying some of your ideas out, thanks!

To Pete: Yes, it was certainly a test of patience! I'm normally a very impatient person, but I will have to persevere more in the future!

Thanks,

Stephen

Patience and persistance are important in photography, and they do pay off occasionally, like this exceptional capture. The clarity and sharpness are excellent, and the composition and color are very nice as well. Very nicely done. Regards.

Hi Stephen, this is a cool shot:) I made lots of them....but used another technique. I also used a bowl and put it under a dripping tap.
For the colors I use staind glass.The camera placed on a tripod. I use a ruler or something else to focus on the spot the drop will fall.And than it is a gamble to push the button on the right moment and like you said not one is the same:)

Good job, Steve. Beautiful photo and nice to learn that it takes so many attempts to get a good photo like this. The color (including the red under the droplet on top), and the positioning is great.
