    Hot day.....play with water?

    just playing around with dripping water on a mirror. Tamron 17-50 at 50 and f2.8 to get the speed. Didn`t have much success but these two I thought were interesting, albeit not real sharp. Used a pod. Any suggestions on how to do better????

    Good idea for a rainy day! Interesting results that I like too. Looks a bit like molten metal.

    Never thought of doing it on a mirror. I have tried the water drop shots with very limited success but I like the first one you have done.

    thanks Fess.....I tried the water drops into a container but had limited success...not good enough to post. I`ll do it inside next time, away from the wind.
