Just a test, 6 pictures, same motif a green leaf with raindrops, on a gray day with flat light.
Dark shadows to the right are the next leaves.
Art is both creation and recreation. Of the two ideas, I think art as recreation or as sheer play of the human spirit is more important.

So this took me pretty much all day to figure out how to do and make it work.
Again, playing around with a bit of science here. When a drop of water falls into a fairly deep pan of water, the water first goes way down and then like a rubber band, it springs back up because of the surface tension and sends the drop of water, or in this case milk with a bit of food color in it back up into the air, but what happened here was two more drops of water were falling down directly in line with the first one and impacted into the column of water and milk rising upward and caused these beautiful splashes of water.
I don't own one of those fancy and expensive water drop/splash kits that times everything out for you.
I did this all manually. First, I start with a two second shutter delay to get my hands in the right spots. Then the camera is set to a two second exposure which gives me time to do all the other things. The plunger gets pressed, drops come out, they fall, hit the water and I fire the flash trigger. The flash unit is off to the right side and set to a very small bust, 1/128th power. This is also a very fast burst of light and so it stops all the motion of the splash.
The colors in the background is the reflection of a shiny piece of art paper reflecting a small, adjustable LED panel light onto the waters surface..

My friend catched a big golden jumper, approx. 1.2cm. @ our schools garden this PM. I used NIkkor kitlens @18mm reversed on Extension Tube.

I went for my first run in 2 weeks. Only 3 miles. It hurt. Which means it needed to be done. Oh and it might have hurt because there's a 25mph stead wind with gusts > 35mph. Ouch. These seeds I photographed last week are surely long gone...
Fall picture a day 29/91.
red ladybug in sage. Not the best color combo, but it makes a statement. this is a rework of an earlier posted photo from a couple of years ago. can you tell the difference? See original post at www.flickr.com/photos/gab57/7305223660/in/photolist-c8xbu....

Food Month Continues! To all my friends who cried foul when I failed to list coffee as the magical caffeinated elixir in my green tea post, here is your morning rocket fuel, my very j-j-j-angly friends!
Espresso: There is no 'X' in Espresso. You know who you are that have been saying it that way. Just because you're going 45mph in the drive-thru lane at Starbucks does not make it an "Expresso". Please slow down.

Things I ♥ Month Continues! I'll bet you thought I was going to say I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, right? OK, it's true--I do, but this photo captures an even bigger love of mine...
Macro Photography: Nothing opens up your eyes more to the world around you—and the world of photography—than shooting 1:1 (or greater) macros. It's truly like seeing things for the first time: the details, crisp edges and the tiny, individual elements. Of course, shooting candy this close has its risks: calories. :)~

Here in Brazil today is Father's Day, so this is for my father. I love you Daddy!
Midday, hot and bright light, exposure - 2 stop, a firefighter with a castanea for scale in a rather huge leaf. Everything within a black soup bowl on my balcony.
With some light reflexes on shadowy windows in the back.
