DVD Droplets

I placed some DVDs in the sink and added water. I then set the faucet at a slow drip. Using my flash, macro extension tubes and my well-practiced instinct on shutter timing, I got some neat results.

I know most people use a tripod, trigger, drip rig, and off-camera flash for these types of shots, but I like the intuitive, connected and free feel of having the camera in my hand. I often get inspired while doing these and can end up going in a completely different creative direction than I imagined at the start.
