This is a great shot shot. I may be wrong but I have seen a copy of it on an English forum recently. The photographer writes about timing the shot, but this can be overcome by making a little gadget consisting of a sensitive CRYSTAL MICROPHONE, an OP AMP, a TRANSISTOR and a THYRSITOR to trigger the flash. Only two shots required. One to set up the exposure and one to take the shot. the sound of the droplet hitting the water fires the flash. I have taken many shots, for instance a dart bursting a balloon.

| I loved your picture yours was my favorite. I think thats so cool and what really makes in neat is that when you look at the droplet of water you can see some sort of reflection. GREAT JOB!!! |

Thanks, I was getting kind of annoyed by the complaints about "to many watershots" in the forums. It was the first time I ever made a picture of this subject, and didn't even think about it how often it was done before. I just wanted to make a good picture.
Also thanks to everbody forgiving such high votes and for the great comments. It was my second submission to any challenge ever and I never expected this.
Beause I was asked several times how the picture was made, I made a web-page with a full description. If you are interested, [a target="_blank" href="//digicam.weba000.com/dpc_stopmotion.html"]click here[/a] to go there (BTW: English is not my first language, so please don't mind the languistic errors on he page).

| Great sharp focus the best water shot IMHO. |
|
|
|
04/20/2002 06:29:00 AM |
| You have accomplished what so many others have already done. Still I have to give credit where it is due, the lighting has more influence on this picture than does the stop action. |

| Very nicely done. The water thing is over done for this topic. I'm giving out my higher ratings for the more original images. |

| Great shot! I like the framing of the shot and the concetric ripples in the water. |
|

| Best water submission so far, nice how you used the rule of thirds, so many people put the subject in the center. |

|
|
|
04/16/2002 08:18:00 AM |
| Perhaps "everybody" decided to use liquid, but this is the best of the lot -- frozen and focused sharp as crystal |
|
|
|
04/16/2002 07:36:00 AM |
| Terrific. Love the tones. focus, composition, etc. Very nice job. |
|
|
|

| Timed perfectly for the rebound upthrust! I love the way light is reflected off the water. Your off-center lower left quadrant emphasis is also very nice. |
|
|
|
04/15/2002 04:41:00 PM |
| Great shot here. Technically superb. The best water shot I've seen thus far. |
|
|
|
04/15/2002 03:57:00 PM |
| Though some have called the water shots boring, I think you did a great job here. Your composition and exposure are excellent in my opinion. Would have been even better if you could have avoided the few extra bubbles, forcing the viewers eye to stay on the main oblect in the scene. The photo evokes an image of blown glass. Nice work. |

| Lovely. Almost looks frozen. Great light/ highlights too. Like the off-center framing - tell us how you caught it ? |
|
|

04/15/2002 05:24:00 AM |
| This is a nice shot, it looks digital, I'd be interested to hear how you took this |

| Of all of the water pictures, this one was my favorite by far. I love the "texture" of the water. |
|
|
|
04/15/2002 02:57:00 AM |
| I REALLY like this. The crisp, clean, action of it is great and the thirds rule is perfect. You caught the ripples and the drop in action.Great job :) |
