Shot for Week #8 of my "52 of 2013" flickr group given the theme of "Round".
A drop of water makes a perfectly round subject and so do the ripples that form on the surface when the drip hits the water.
Here I was able to get a second drop of water to crash into the first causing a crown to form on the top. This was soooo cool!
I know people do this with special optical triggers and timing devices, but this was done by hand with a manual dripper, a long exposure and two speedlights triggered with a Pocket Wizard.
Please take a look at this on black by pressing "L" on your keyboard…

The well known Scalaber Falls in the Yorkshire Dales. I went for a close crop on this one and a mono conversion.
Ulan (near Mudgee)
NSW, Australia.
The Drip is an amazing gorge on the Goulburn River just north of Ulan and about 50km north of Mudgee.
The main part of the massive rock overhang is referred to as The Great Dripping Wall.
Water runs off from the surrounding hillsides & seeps through the rock & drips onto the the pools in the gorge.
Ferns cling to the rocks of the steep overhang and are constantly watered by the the water that drips down the top.
The track to The Drip is about 2.4km return, but it’s well worth exploring further downstream.
There is no track past The Drip area but you can explore by rock-hopping or by wading through the usually fairly shallow water.
There are sandstone cliffs with ferneries that cling to them, huge boulders, & gnarly twisted trees.
Recently, an Aboriginal style painting on a large rock overhang by the river was discovered to be by Brett Whitely, a famous Australian artist.
The Drip area also contains a culturally important cave for the Wiradjuri indigenous tribe.
The cave has been used for many years as a place for women’s rituals & birthing was performed there.
The Drip is a popular destination for both locals & tourists.
People visit The Drip to bushwalk, swim, and also to go camping.
Its a great location for photography, painting, & also for bird-watching.
Unfortunately, The Drip is under threat from mining.
The area is not protected by the nearby Goulburn River national Park & is owned by the Moolarben Coal Company.
The mining company have proposed to protect as national park a measly 0.75ha of the area directly around The Drip wall.
The remainder 53ha of the proposal is for a state conservation area rather than a national park.
This does not protect the sensitive area from mining.
Moolarben Coal have a proposal to drill a tunnel that crosses The Drip are & this has the potential to affect local aquifers & river levels.
This could threaten the survival of the sensitive area of The Drip itself.
Local landowners Julie & Colin Imrie have offered 10ha of their neighbouring ‘Gleniston’ property to become national park,
as long as the Yancoal group hand over a larger portion of their land to national park.
This is a beautiful & unique area that needs to be protected as a national park.

A similar shot to a fellow flickerite David Stephens, however we are separated by a large ocean called the Atlantic and this was pure coincidence -I attempted to upload it yesterday but flickr was in freeze mode, so I gave up.

U34CH 3365 is pulling EL E8's 831,822, and 823 through the washrack at Croxton Yard Secaucs N.J. 05-1973 Howard Kent Jr.
My husband left this on the table yesterday and I decided it would be a good subject for flipping the camera. I should have taken the time to do it with more light and more in focus.
Having lurked for a while I've decided to try Flickr's ANSH scavenger hunt for some fun and motivation.
