...when it seemed like every week had another winning "splash" or "droplet" shot, and people used to bitch and moan about it?
...that we hardly ever see these anymore?
(This just occurred to me...) |

I remember. That's an interesting observation. So do you figure it's run its course with DPC, or  Irenem achieved perfection and there's no more that can be done with drop shots?

Funny you mentioned that. I was just thinking the same thing earlier this week. You may now STOP reading my mind Robert! LOL.

I honestly don't know. I just became aware of the phenomenon, as it were, but I haven't tried to analyze it :-) |

open the shutter, use a flash to freeze the motion triggered by a high speed trigger connected to a timer or laser beam
or shoot 2000 and get lucky...
the best ones are the double drip collisions |

*edit* Deleted my previous reply as after re-reading it, there just wasn't the humor you can express face-to-face with a tongue-in-cheek tone.
The water drop images really can be pretty pictures and for that reason score well here. Some have truly perfected the process and produced some great results - i'm sure they got bored of trying to improve perfection and moved on to new topics, such as B&W "street/life" shots trying to out-do Jagar, or expert editing to keep up with Samantha and Christoph.
For that i'm thankful that when i do try i won't have masters around here making me look bad.

I always liked a lot of the water drops really and kind of admired the almost zen-like patience of those who do them over and over in order to get a perfect drop. And i liked the alien sculpture-like results. Same with insect macros. Always found those interesting just because i find insects fascinating.
Wine glasses, however, are a differnt matter altogether. No amount of fancy light and tiny upside down glasses could make me find them anything other than tedious. Yawn. |

No fancy lights or colored liquids/gels required ...
