Okay- Jaymi- my dear sweet Jaymi!!! You have given me so much fun with the camera these past few weeks. God bless you!!!! When Jaymi posted her drops & told us all how to do it- I promptly wrote it all down & here it sat on my desk. For a week!!!!! I finally decided to give it a go. But I don’t have a macro lens – so I did things a bit differently. I didn’t think to take pics as I went- so you will have to just imagine.
First- I set up the tripod next to the sink. Picked out my fabrics I wanted to use as the back splash behind the water. I used my cheapo macro extension tube with my 75-300mm lens. (this set up works the best for macro for me) Now because it’s not the Canon extension– when I use the tube it not only gives me F/00 on my screen but it also forces me to focus manually. So I put my other settings at ISO400 & shutter at 1/200- focused on the bottom of the faucet & just kept clicking the shutter. I did also use my softbox on my speedlight too. It was a lot like capturing lightning- you just click & see what you got later. But I think that was what was fun about it. Sometimes you get a great one- most of the time you catch it in-between the drops & get nothing. Hurray for digital- right?!!
Now processing- I did boost clarity a bit & sharpened like crazy. But that was it.
Thanks Jaymi for giving me something cool to try.
Now I know I shared this last one on Saturday- but it’s my fav!!
Those of you that have this Cardiff fabric on your strap will recognize this.
Amazing shots Gina!! You captured so much detail and gorgeousness.
I tried this last week and mentioned you in my post. Your pics came out better and I’m totally impressed!! Fantastic job!!!
I will definitely revisit this one. It was fun 😉
Oh, I love that last one! I can tell you had a LOT of fun taking these! :))
Amazing shots! I love the fabric you used.

Fun! I really do want to try this someday! I also want to get some extension tubes 🙂
Gina, these came out great!!! great job! I love the blue fabric and the -plaid fabric ones too! Isn’t it fun when you can get the fabric to show up perfectly inside the water drop!?
Gorgeous images! I cannot shoot water drops to save my life.
So fun Gina, and such great captures! Water fountains are fun to do this with too!! Happy Valentines Day to you!
Great shots! The 5th one down is my favorite, the sharpness makes it glimmer, and I love that there is a pattern in the droplet.
These are so cool! I’m always impressed with what you can do with the camera.
Amazing pictures!!
Fabulous job…love them!!! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your family!
