 Always wanted to shoot a water drop, so i thought i'd take this as an opportunity. I'm just hoping the fact its action frozen in motion is not voted down by voters :P

Basically setup for the shot was kitchen sink half filled with water and silver foil covering the drain hole. Then setup some lights. Didn't need a tripod for this shot, but needed heaps of patience trying to get a "perfect" shot. Probably took about 100 shots or so in total out of these, got about 20 OK ish ones, which was culled to 4 i liked, and I picked this one.

PP includes:
- raw conversion and slight adjustment
- Noise ninja
- curves for contrast
- levels for bit more pop
- HSL used to get a nice blue tint into the photo
- Smart sharpen
- NN again because too noisy (i know i know... bad idea)
- resize etc for dpc

Wow - You've really frozen this shot. And slicked it too! :^) Looks like a healthy dose of noise reduction was applied - yes/no?
