Panasonic Lumix FZ-30

Copenhagen

Denmark

I have always been very fascinated by shots of waterdrops frozen in action, and have only previously made a few half-harted tries at it. This weekend, however, I though I’d try it out once more – inspired by some pictures and a thread in the Flickr Discussion forum. Set-up was a large drinking glass filled with water and placed in my steel kitchen sink. Pic were shot handheld with the FZ30 and the Raynox 150 and on-board flash diffused with a regular sheet of white A4 paper. It was so much fun, but also something which required some patience and practice.I think I shot app. 80 pics and the result was 7 I was satisfied with. One is posted here.
