A drip is a drop
p.1 #1A drip is a drop
If anyone is questioning wether or not this is the right forum for these types of images, let me set you straight 
If you remember being a 10 year old kid 60 years ago, a common put down would be to call a kid a "drip". Well, I had a mildly obnoxious friend, and when we called him a drip, this was his comeback;
" A drip is a drop, a drop is water, water is nature, nature is beautiful, thanks for the compliment." So there, take that
My wife and I still laugh at that to this day. Thanks for taking a look at my ongoing project.

These are so cool. I've always wanted to try my hand at something like this. #5 is my favorite.

These are coming along wonderfully Garry. When I read the subject and start to scroll down at first I saw that tiny drop on the top of the first image and was thinking I would see just that in a minimalist image. While that did not appear, I loved what I saw and the following images as well.

Nicely done. Is #2 the "collision" that you said in a previous thread that you were trying to capture?

Excellent, Gary!
Looks like you are getting your technique and workflow down on these images.
Love the colors you are getting too.

Thanks Morris. Next step is to follow Birdie's suggestion and make my water a bit thicker.

Pretty much but not quite. I've been using my OM-1 with the 90 Macro. That's giving me an 180mm Equivalent. I think that's too much FL. I need more depth of field so I think Im going to switch to a D200 I still have hanging around and an older 105 macro.
