More Waterdrop Fun

[Bob Israel]

Still experimenting with different lighting, processing, backgrounds and more. There's so many things to vary including the viscosity of the water droplets and the liquid in the catch basin. Then there's opacity (adding milk/cream), adding surfactant to reduce water surface tension (yes, I'm a nerdy chemist). I have seen some play with drops through soap bubbles and others using acrylic paints. Any way, here are a few more . . .

#1 - A colorful background with colored gels on my flash

#2 - Black velvet background on colored flashes with clear droplets

#3 - Cream added to my droplet mixture plus some color manipulation in post processing

#4 - Same as #3

More creativity.

Makes me want to 'drop everything' and try this. Really cool results Bob.

Wet colorful. Like the way you used the background and light.

Seriously cool results - I love #3 and #4.

So amazing Bob! Is there anyway to do a Timelapse of this?

Thanks Jim! Probably best to record via slo-mo. Otherwise, it happens too fast for timelapse. There's a lot of post processing in these images as well. Mostly removing stray/messy drops from the splash.
