 Dropped blue/green marbles into a bowl of unsolidified orange jello. Bounce flash. Very messy. I have tried the drop/splash shot several times, still haven\'t gotten it down right. If anyone has any suggestions...lets have \'em. I think my old sigma lens is also a piece of junk and my nikon lens just doesn\'t get close enough.

Very cool-quite the surrealist, I see.

This to me is just not a good photo...the colors are drab and there is too much out of focus for my tastes.
 05/01/2006 02:36:32 PM
Focus and colors are both off

wish there was faster shutter
 04/30/2006 03:30:57 PM
faster shutter speed, more light

Oh, not very inviting! Not sure why but it dosen't appeal to me.

Colors are not translating very well. Looks like pale orange and green. It is always hard when going to 256 colors for the web. :)

Maybe try a faster shutter speed so the drops aren't so blurry. Neat!!!

Neat concept; it's a shame the motion isn't quite frozen.

*I am only commenting, and not voting on this challenge*

I kind of like the motion blur, but the overall photo lacks definition. It's crazy and chaotic, but not really in that way that is going to appeal to very many. The color connection, while there, is pretty weak.
Keep pluggin' away.

crazy

Sorry, but the focus is such that I don't know where to look first. Can't clearly see what is happening

good shot

3 - A little different. Like to see the colors tweaked to be more vivid. Bigger also would have helped.

A little blurred (but, just how clear can you make jello?! lol) Fun one. 8

great action in this shot...why did you save this as such a small image when you could have gone up to 640px??? you are at 500... this could have been so much better bigger
 04/26/2006 02:06:08 AM
Like to see this one with a faster shutter!
