For some reason people, myself included, like water drop photographs. Catching that moment of the splash is a lot of fun (hence the proliferation of them on my site) and it's actually not all that hard.

Play around with drops again, varying between milk and water. I was trying to get drops hitting each other, but not much luck...

I took a trip down to the Wings of Paradise butterfly conservatory near Cambridge. Very nice place, lots of butterflies and a few birds as well.

Various different shots of things, mostly macro. Updated with some experiments using multicoloured gels on smoke. Updated again with some water on nail action. Updated again with water on CDs.

Some pictures of oil droplets floating on a watery surface. Some interesting effects with different coloured backgrounds underneath the glass container and shooting from a few angles.

First experiments with refraction and reflection in water drops. Not awesome or anything, but some are kind of neat and so I decided to post them.

This time, I played with some gels over the flash. I also used cone incense, but I think this was a little too much smoke, so I may try the same idea but with the sticks again.

I shot some more water drops, but this time I tried a different technique. Basically, I used different multi-colour backgrounds that I generated in Photoshop and then fired the flash against that using a snoot and some different gels. So, what you see her

Pictures from the last day of the first full month of the summer we haven't had...

Make sure you say "Smokin'" with that deep, growly, voice that Jim Carrey used in The Mask.
