Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment or fave this image.
This image, which I have not shared before, has been a personal favorite for a long time. I felt like my photo stream could use a splash of color today.
My first attempt to do some splash photography.
Getting the background black was the easy part: low ISO, small aperture and fast shutter.
Hard part was the focus and making sure the drop landed on the same spot I focused on. After trying several method I ended up what a Crazy Machines-like contraption made out of a fly swatter, a couple of books and a piece of string 😄
Hardest part however was the timing. As the flash was in HSS, spray and pray wasn't an option as the flash needed to recycle every 1 or 2 photos.
After 500+ photos, I had a couple of photos that stood out.
Camera Nikon D7000
Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture f/9.0
Focal Length 85 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash On, Return not detected
I used my camera as commander and my Nikon SB700 as an off camera flash with a white reflection screen and an abacus from my Granddaughter.

Wow...despite being sent to the Crematorium by the Ice Box with seven unanimous uncools, this shot just made it into Explore for July 2nd. Highest postion - 46. Booh-yah!
Joined a great new group called Get Pushed!! Round One, where you are paired with someone who gives you a photographic challenge ouside your comfort zone. This is the one the delightful and talented yrrgeirs sent me: "SPLASH! I´m challenging you to do a "SPLASH" shot. Coffee splash, milk splash, water..........or whatever comes to mind! Try it, might be fun! :-D"
It was messy fun, but I'm afraid I only had five minutes to spare from my exam marking, so the two shots are rushed and sooc. Coward that I am, I tried it first with water, and only then with hot chocolate. I think the water one is slightly better, though neither of them is brilliant. I shall try this again when I have time. BTW, I dropped a golf-ball sized tomato into the cups to get the splashes! Now you should all go join Jordy's group and Get Pushed!!
Loch Tummel is a long narrow loch near Pitlochery in the area of "Perth and Kinross " Scotland .
It is fed by the River Tummel which flows into the River Tay..
Today's shot came from an early morning bike ride this Saturday. I'm not really sure if it's the bitter cold that causes the huge waves on Chicago's shore. Perhaps it was the wind or the position of the moon. Nevertheless the waves were roaring and I decided to take the risk of trying to capture them. With my 14-24mm wide angle lens attached, I got up nice and close and shot away. After 20 or so minutes I figured I got my shot. I went back to my bag which had rolled up sideways against my bike on the Lake Shore Bike Path. I put my bag upright, and my rarely used fisheye lens popped slipped out of my bag and rolled up next to my feet as if to say "pick me". I decided I hadn't had enough, so I agreed and attached the fisheye to my camera and went right back up to the waves for a few more shots. A big one came, better than any I had seen with my wide angle, and I was left with the shot below...

A female Northern Shoveler making a big splash at The Pool in Central Park, New York City.
The aptly named Northern Shoveler has a shovel-shaped bill that quickly sets it apart from other dabbling ducks. It is a medium-sized duck that tends to sit with its rear a bit higher out of the water almost like its bill is pulling its front hand down.
Breeding male shovelers are bold white, blue, green, and rust, but their most notable feature is their white chest and white lower sides. In flight, males flash blue on the upper wing and green on the secondaries (the speculum). Female and immature shovelers are mottled in brown and have powdery-blue on the wings that is sometimes visible on resting birds. Their very large orange bill is their most notable field mark.

This was the winner of POTD....Shot of the water fountain at the Rose Garden. I love the LB Bokeh :)
Vivitar 285 fired manualy during 2 seg exposure (while my ebay triggers don´t arrive...) on the blue paper background
At 1/80th of a second shutter speed, I didn't really 'freeze' the droplets, but it still gives a nice backdrop as these gulls rest on the rocks.
Enjoy!
A unique moment in time, captured faster than a blink of an eye.

If you visit one of Cambodia's floating villages, you will see colorful houses on stilts, long boats plying the waterways, and lots of kids playing in the water. It's not unusual to see children floating in tubs splashing water at each other. In fact, it's such a common sight that its almost become an iconic symbol of these villages.
