Hey all!

This is my very first 'drip' shot.Yippee!!!LOL.And yes,I know it's nothing extraordinary,but I thought it looked pretty,the way the water picked up an amber color from my copper faucet.It reminds me of dripping honey...

I know I could probably make this look better,I already saw some possibities playing with it in virtual photographer,and it could surely be framed better...but if I don't upload this now,I never will,lol...because that's what I always do!

So,anyway,here's my entry for the challenge.And if you have any suggestions regarding it's improvement,I'd really love to know.

Have a wonderful weekend,all!-M :^)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Daaaaaamn, for your first attempt this is killer! I tried to do this last week...had a lamp over a pot of water..after many failed attempts I ended up shooting the lamp reflection in the water...was so much easier...still haven't got the drip yet~~ Great shot and colors! Aloha!

Wow...a fantastic droplet Marlene! This is incredible and as I've commented on Zacho's drops ...sooo hard to get! Fantastic work hon!! :-)

Love, Light and Laughter  ~ :-)

Thanks Maggie!In all honesty,I think it's much easier to catch one when its slowly dripping from your faucet,lol.It just takes a lot of shots.It's the splash/drop thing that's the really hard thing to do,imo!
