I tried Kort's method where the windmill's feeding pipe extends over the dam wall on the farm. Boy was it fun! Now I just have to retrieve the camera... :ohmy:

My 2c worth: I have tried it several times with the new cam which is obvious a humorous moment for the photographers in the know. I still haven't mastered my camera and that was mistake nr 1, taking this type of photo asks for experience with the camera, a point I think Chris has raised earlier.

To me, uploading a drop shot is a quite normal cycle for any photographer who wants to broaden his scope. This should be encouraged by us all and we should thus refrain from the opinion of it being "boring". I once made a mistake when uploading flowers, I said "I won't bore you with insignificant flowers" in the accompanying comment. I was inundated with messages and I realised I should not have said that. I apologised and I saw the same attitude being displayed here earlier, which is admirable.

Sorry I ramble and i don't even know if I am still sticking to the subject.

So, now my drop shots are still to come, soon... :sneaky:
