messing with water drops...

[Mr_Alpha_2011]

one night i was bored and i decided to visit my parents, suddenly i got an idea to make something while im not busy so i decided to make something quick to take pictures with, its water drops.
i know its not great but worth the messing around lol
Camera used: Sony A33
Lens: Minolta 100mm 2.8 Macro
Flash : HVL-F42AM

here is the pictures









as for these 2 i used different white balance, and about the back ground its because a used a small plate




hope you enjoy my small test lol

Hi Mr_Alpha_2011,

You may not find it great work, but I like your "boredom snaps" quite nice!

I especially like the form and symmetry of image #3. Also, the experiments with the different white balance are nice. I prefer the last one, although it would be perfect if the little dropplets and out of focus specks of water weren't in the picture.

Good work!

Really nice pictures Mr_Alpha_2011 . Amazing shapes and colours. I like the colour (or lack of it) in #1.

Thanks mvanrheenen for your nice comment
i couldnt do much about the bokeh back ground since i was using a very small oven plate lol

Thanks Birma, glad you liked it, its my fav too

hopefully later i will do more "boredom snaps" (i like the name ) and get good or better results

Hi Mr_Alpha_2011,

Please do post more of your boredom snaps. I'm enjoying your boredom

Someone's boredom is an other's enjoyment!

I like the third shot for the intact spherical and coloumnal water drops appearing as though frozen in the moment against gravity.

I guess I have to try too... I mean "boredom shots".
Keep them coming.
