Continuing my water experiments...
Set up for this:
Shallow dish (casserole dish lid in this case) full to brim with water and placed over coloured fabric.
Camera with 18-55mm lens plus macro filter set up on tripod.
Shot on Av mode with Aperture of 10 or thereabouts. Varied as I played with lighting.
Flash fired.
I set my focus point by placing end of a spoon in the spot I wanted to focus on and then removed the spoon but kept focus locked.
I used a sponge to create the drips and shot as though my life depended on it! I can't even tell you how many frames!

Drip development with lith developer. Method described here... remorseblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/drip-development.html
Sometimes you set out to do something specific, mess up, and come out with a great result! SB-600 mounted to the right, bounced off of a bright green material. f/2 1/60 iso 400
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…
Another picture from my recent drip sequence.
This is water dripping from my kitchen tap or faucet. The camera was on a tripod and the lighting was wireless flash from both sides using the on-camera flash as a commander. I put a landscape photograph behind and the blue is from the sky. Quite difficult to get the shutter timing right, but it improves with practice.
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.
Day 3
I hit 20,000 views yesterday! Thanks all. That's a heck of a lot of people.
When I was in New York, I bought a dedicated macro ring-flash from the B&H Photo store in the city. This and the shot before this are my first experiments with it.
So far I'm liking it.
As far as the timing goes, I think I'm going to go with what a few people said. Chronologically, I might be a day behind, but since it's my 366 project, I should upload according to my time-zone. I guess we'll see how it works out.
Looks best on white I think, makes the red color more vibrant.
Bricks & Drips, Hafen Dortmund, 2017
Neben vielen anderen Graffitis findet sich im Dortmunder Hafenviertel auch dieses, das der in diesem Haus untergebrachten Firma als Werbetafel dient - dennoch schön anzusehen.

In addition to many other graffiti, the Dortmund harbor district also contains this one, which serves as a billboard for the company housed in this house - but it's still nice to look at.
