[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An exercise in taking photo of water drops. The set up was fairly simple. I used a bowl filled with blue dye, and a dropper was used with water. Surprisingly the result came in almost b&w - perhaps due to the camera angle and exposure settings as well as the materials chosen. PP work involved some noise reduction (it probably could use some more) and sizing. From this exercise I learned that taking water drop photo is tedious, and I ended up with so many unuseable shots.

How I miss Sabine (wishnugaruda) and her wonderful shots of water drops.

Hi Danilo,
I love these water drop shots. Nice detail and metallic colors here. I like the curved lines created by the falling drops of water. Nice work.

Kevin

Hi Danilo,

this image reminded my of David Lynch´s film Dune. As uasul a great work from you!

I love the gentil waves and the soft light. The tiny blue spot in the center gives a nice touch.

Congratulations my friend,
Romeu

Really nice curves in these ripples Danilo,
and I love the jet black liquid, very interesting.
part of me wishes this was just a little more off to the right or left?
Other than that it's excellent.
Well done.

Very nice work Danilo!! I love the smoothness here! Looks like a drop of oil! Worth about what? $100,000 now? HAHA! Everyday prices change here! Excellent details and I love that solitary drop!

Hi Danilo,

That's a great shot. In reading your note, I have also tried the water drop process and it's an adventure to say the least!

You've captured great reflections, ripples of the water and pattern in your photo. Makes a great modern shot. ~ Lisa :D

Hi Danilo,
Fantastic shot with amazing sharp details. The drops look like they've almost been frozen in mid air. I think the b/w tones are really good. I've being toying with the idea with doing some drops shots. So thanks for your tip about using a dropper.

Hello Danilo
Very well performed experiment, good looking result.
Reminds me, after one week I go to my German relitives in Memmingen, where also Sabine is living, I try to contact her so we can meet her maybe in the City.
When so, I will mention your photostyle too.
Best wishes from Jan

Hello Danilo,

Taking water drop photo maybe is tedious, but you done a wonderful visual effect...

Your photo is perfect!!!

Nice shot. Congratulations.

Hi Danilo, great abstract composition, splendid PP work, very well done, ciao Silvio

quite a different approach bro. looks abstract. and the black may be a result of no flash, i guess.
nothing wrong with it though.

Hi Danilo,

I love the beautiful monotonous look and the nice curves of the ripples. Very useful note, sharing the setup and prop that was used. Very good stuff indeed.

Regards,
Ramdan.

danilo, still you came up with a good one.
i've done that before and ended up with nothing.
lighting is great, and i can see the rainbow effect
on the water. your droplets are simply clear and crisp.
nice work. galing mo talaga.

Hi Danilo
I love the results, the black giving a rich and expensive look to the bowl. The water looks like you have a bit of corkscrew at the very bottom.
I tried this and my results were a water mess on the table.
WEll done

Hello Danilo,

Since Sabine is one of numerous who has left I guess you have to take the tradition into the future!
I never tried this but it doesn't take much imagination to foresee the problems, hehehe...
This is an interesting result with fine details, captured in the right fragment of a second!

Greetings,
