Another water drop photo.

For those of you who may not know how these are done. Basically you bounce the flash off an object to light the bowl of water and hope you press the shutter at the right time to get a drop. Different objects will produce different looks in the water. You can search youtube for how-to videos.

The reflector for the first set of water drop photos I posted a few days ago was a dog toy.

Any guesses on this one???

One from the archives. This was shot outside the salvage shop in downtown Roanoke this past summer. Someone at some time spent a lot of time painting all of the detail on this wagon.

More smoke photography. I did this one with a gel on the flash. No coloring in post. Fuego is spanish for Fire, incase you didn't know. I thought these three shots fit together well. I have another composite I will post later. (click image to enlarge)

I tried some smoke photography tonight. I haven't done this before, but ran across a video on youtube and thought I would give it a try. (Video Link) I managed to get a few shots I liked. I'm not completely satisfied with the processing, but I think it will get better the more I work with it.
