Btw, how did you make the water look like fog was coming off it? I love the soft steaminess of it with the clarity of the water drop! Very magical! #1940595

Casey, this is truly amazing, don't know which is more so, your idea or your wonderful execution of that idea; love the reflection in the droplet and the background adds so much; winner in my book! #1940647

Casey A. Hanson October 11, 2005

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate all your wonderful comments! :0)
Geralyn...On this particular water drop shoot, I shot approx. 380 shots. A few turned out pretty good, including this one, but most were out of focus or focused on the wrong part of the drop. You have to keep moving your camera angle to catch the right one with manual focus.
~D...the softness is the waves from the drop before this one landing and rocking the water.
Thanks again! #1942391

Jim Kinnunen October 11, 2005

Thanks Shelley and Cora! It is alot of work to catch one completely in focus! But it's so awesome to bring something that small into such a larger picture.

Congratulations on making finalist and good luck in the next round. This is so cool! I was wondering if you used a motion sensor to trip the shutter but you already answered that question. Goes to show that a good part of great images is patience! #2695529
