Description


I have a ton of drop shots now; but now they are kinda boring -- I want to, when I get the chance, try and capture a reflection in the drops. But, where to place it so it will capture it, I don't know? Do you? I can't imagine the expense of this technique pre-digital. lol I take 400 shots and maybe a dozen are just 'okay'. Have a great day you guys, and thanks for stopping by. Shari

Thats the true beauty of digital, what you don't like you erase and take another, the cost in developing film no longer comes in to it. I don't think this is what you really want Shari, but one way of getting the reflection is to use a drop that is attached to a twig or a leaf, a static drop, not a dropping one. Another thing is that for this type of shot you would need maybe a larger drop, difficult to attain I think. There was a contest on another photo site a while back, the aim was to get a crown by dropping items into liquid, quite a few used strawberries and milk, this is another slant on capturing drops. Something I have not tried but often thought about. Another great capture if somewhat dark. Bravo!!!!!

When I first started on RR, Zacko was the master of drops. I think he put his reflections in with PS or some other program. I know Littlejock also has done a few reflections in dew drops - he might be of some help as well.

Oh no good advice from me, I did send you my one attempt and never got a reply back, so I guess that said it all about my techniques, lol. I can see the improvement in clarity and complexity of the string of drops, even if I can't do it myself.

If you are talking about getting the image on the drop surface like my halloweenies captures, the image or object needs to be nearly behind the drop in the background. And it usually has to be pretty large. On the halloweenies I used a plastic candy basket about 12 inches in diameter placed 6 inches or so behind the drops in the background. I have also put faces on the drops with drawinga and cutouts. Size of the drop doesnt matter. With some creative camera angles and photoshop you can get rid of the images from the background. I too have taken way too many drop shots but I keep coming back for more. Keep it up, I am a drop fanatic...
