WC #127 Floral drops

The last shot similar to this was from the Sony CD-1000 and I wanted to see how the Panasonic FZ10 would handle high speed flash. I didn't manage to catch a star in this one but the three drops came out ok I guess. Just dripped water over the top of a Carnation bud with a Dahlia behind.

All the best high speeders :-))

Danny.

Panasonic FZ10, F/8, 1/60th sec, IS on mode2, el=cheapo mag glass, Sunpak 3600 set to 1/64,000th sec and fired with a slave.

Danny: This might be OK if the flower was centered in the middle drop, the bottom drop wasn't touching the edge of the frame and if the spacing between the drops was more even. Because of these fatal flaws I can't rate this any higher than 11 on a scale of 10 :razz: What a superb image! ><>
