About	This is the latest in an ongoing attempt to recreate with the Nikon D70s some of the shots I took with my old Minolta A2. This is water drops on a sheet of glass treated with Rain-X with a flower head below. There does seem to be a slight sharpness issue which I don't fully understand - I suspect it maybe vibration from the shutter, even though I'm using a remote control and tripod, albeit a cruddy one. But the Manfrotto super solid jobbie should be here on Friday...

brilliant !

* James * {K:20200} 8/26/2007

this one is simply astounding. i'd say its poster material that should be for sale somewhere. how did you ever come up with the idea in the first place? as for the shaky tripod, the manfrotto is what you want, those things are built like tanks. unfortunately so much so, that they're difficult to carry around. i dont travel with mine, but i really should as it makes a difference.

best wishes aj ~ james

Wow, this is excellent... so creative! Great colors... love those little tiny flower images in each water droplet. 7+++

Mike Frakes {K:3349} 7/13/2007

Did you try again with the Manfrotto? It looks really sharp from where I am looking, but then we are always critical of our own shots.. that is an amazing idea, I am going to steal away and try it. Cheers!

Dave Dixon {K:2035} 5/7/2007

Brilliant shot - very creative.
If you're having trouble with sharpness/vibration, does your camera support mirror lockup? Try it if it's available - it may make all the difference.

{K:75282} 5/1/2007

This is a fantastic creation! I would love to try this technique..........great colors and tones also!

Good one,
Lori :)

ps...thanks for you comment, you're right, I haven't been around. We've moved from CA to TX and it's really been more time involvement than I thought it would be. I'm slowly getting back to it!

Ann Van Breemen

{K:13399} 4/16/2007

Brilliant, AJ. Fantastic colours. Do you have mirror lockup on the Nikon? I use it all the time for close-ups. The mirror slap makes a lot of vibrations, even with a cable release.:)

ciao

Jaina Solo {K:237} 4/13/2007

This is amazing! At first from the thumbnail I thought that it was some kind of shower head just as it started falling. I love the reflection of the flower in each of the droplets. If that was with a cruddy tripod, I can't wait to see shots with the new one, because this is fantastic. Great idea, great execution.

Dirk Noort {K:9683} 4/13/2007

rebecca claassen {K:12904} 4/12/2007

Hey there AJ, this is fantastic!!
A unique idea that has been presented perfectly.
For some reason this image reminds me of the old amber glass my Mum collects, some of the vases and bowls have bubbles formed in their bases that look a lot like this, must be the colour and bubbles that connects the two for me.
Excellent work and many congrats to you,
cheers, Bek

Dave Stacey

{K:150877} 4/12/2007

A well executed idea, AJ! Great colours and composition. I like the way the flower is recreated in each drop.
Congrats on the BIP, as well!
Dave.

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 4/12/2007

Spot on with the splodges, AJ, and congratulations on the BIP. Very clever; I knew there was a higher purpose for that RAIN-X stuff that keeps smudging my car windows. Background color splash works perfectly.
--Best to you, Jan
