More work on the fork tubes. Letting the oil drip down to the collector. These things were a surprising lot of work. Seems they've been changed for aftermarket ones at some point and they don't match the service manual, nor the tools I have.
As i was walking through King Soopers, I noticed that the sprinklers had just gone off as I walked past the vegetable department. I always love it when that happens, I feel like I have impecable timing for seeing a special moment in time every time that happens for some strange reason. It makes me smile =)

Was thinking back from a few years ago when I picked up the first SLR as part of the last 35mm film classes taught at the college. One of the first pictures was a picture of the faucet dripping. I wanted to try it again, though I didn't think of the setting light and only wanting to use ambient light. So this I used my 50mm f/1.4 to get a little bit of speed and small DOF, but not fast enough to stop the drip in the air. I will try again when I have more ambient or try strobist style.
A later effort to capture water drops falling from a kitchen faucet. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. In this instance, I used the high-speed sync mode on my flash, and manual focus and a fork to get my trusty 100mm macro lens focused at precisely the point where the water drops would be.
Set-up:
Canon EOS 40D on a tripod with a shutter speed of 1/2500 of a second;
Canon remote switch shutter release;
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens at f/5.6;
Canon 580 EX II flash mounted on the camera, bounced off a white ceiling in high-speed sync mode;
3 portable studio lights surrounding the sink
Note: while normally high-speed sync on a flash will not help you freeze motion, it was necessary in this case to provide enough light (even with three studio lights on the subject) for the extremely rapid shutter speed required to catch a drop falling without blur. I might have had even better luck with the flash set to the 1/250 second sync to freeze the motion direclty, but the glare from the kitchen tiles wouldn't permit anything but indirect flash and I wasn't getting satisfactory results that way.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments however, awards and invites aren't necessary.

I reshot this photo this morning in better light intending to post it as photo of the day, but iphoto is refusing to import it -- deleted the image off the card and didn't save it to disk. Beh. This is the first time i've had trouble with iphoto. Or maybe it's my card reader. Eh. I post it anyway; it's the thought that counts.
Today I was free, so Hendrix & I talked about it and decided it should be a Bay Day! We packed up our things and headed down to Crown Point, blue skies and sunshine, it was pretty much perfect! We happily made drip castles, I read a little of my Bill Bryson book and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
