Emerald Drops
Using my Canon 430EX II Speedlite, I attempted to capture drops of water frozen in time. It's a technique that I'm working on perfecting. I'm working with only one strobe instead of multiples, but I believe that given time I will learn how to make my one work very well.
I love the different hues of green I ended up with here. The shot was made up of a old plastic green bowl from out of my grandmother's cabinet. I just filled it with water and put in under the sink. Turned the faucet on until I had a steady drip, but not too much. I really had no idea what to expect. I took many many shots before I got one that I was pleased enough with to post. I was given some helpful tips by some friendly flickr folks(say that 3 times fast) within the www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157611628500109/ group's discussion board. Great place for anyone who would like to explore techniques using speedlites.
