*poke*

A tree branch juts from the surface of North Texas’ Lake Lavon.

The Alabama Hills in California contains strangely eroded rocks, some of which appear to be sharp points poking at the sky.

Happy Saturated Saturday!

Decided to go with a utilitarian object rather than something vintage. Had to stick the lens inside the glass to take this which got interesting when I tried to put some sparkling water in there too!

Flit pokes at her friend to see what is making her tick... or rather why she's able to move around with her insides on the outside.

Fascinating... And Squishy

I had to google this.....makes sense to me. A dead fish carcass will float, causing an array of problems, including stink. If the gases are removed by poking the eyes, the carcass will sink to the bottom and be eaten by various bottom feeders.

An American Oystercatcher pokes and prods a large shellfish, making it roll.

I decided to take a mini-walk at lunch today with the intention of taking pictures. It was cloudy and temperature was not too cold. I think it's starting to warm up in the PNW and spring is just arround the corner. With just the right amount of light I was able to create this. Hopefully this one is looking like it's poking through your monitors.

Almost a year old BNSF 7915 pokes its front end out of the bridge in Sibley, MO as it leads a w/b towards Kansas City.

It looks like she's just standing there, ignoring me, but in reality my daughter Mara (aka Mar) is standing in a gym, battling for prestige points for her Pokemon GO team, Yellow.

She's also ignoring me. :P

A Carolina Chickadee pokes and prods through the moss for bits and bites.

How did I capture this?

So I got a lot of emails and messeges asking how I captured this, I thought it's better to type it down here so that everybody can read :)!

First of all, you don't have to have a SLR camera to be able to do this, Point and Shoots work just as fine as long as it is Macro capable :)!

Here are some examples taken with a Point and shoot, by El Angel

Example 1

Example 2

I took this in the kitchen sink and the background is my plaid top.

Turn on the flash and set the camera on AP (aperture priority) or you can just set it to macro mode .

Turn on the water tap enough so that the water doesn't come continuesly but it comes fast enough so that you keep getting drops. It also depends on you if you want to have multiple drops in a shot and so on ( just play with it).

Now for focusing:

If you have a point and shoot -

you can focus on the very bottom of water tap or the continues water that is coming out of the tap.

If you have a SLR with MF/AF -

try to focus on the water tap or the water that's coming out of it with AF so you get the right focus, then turn the focus to MF so as the water moves you focus doens't try to change too. move the camera down enough depending of how much of the water you want to have on you shoot, and the take the picture.

make sure as you move the camera dow with the MF it deosn't move to the front or back because then it won't be in focus any more.

Then keep on shooting untill you get the drop you like :)!

Btw, I turned this picture upside down, so it would look like the pointy water is poking the round drop.

And finally HAVE FUN taking pictures of drops!
