I thought it was about time for another Disney shot. For as much fun I'm having with my water drop photography, I can't deny my real love for Disney photography. Shots like this one are the ones that real make me want to get back down as soon as possible. At the same time, there is so much of the country I've yet to experience so it's hard to balance to two. :) Not the worst dilemma to be in I know. I worked for a while on the color with this one, so please let me know what you all think. Any and all suggestions and comments are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas Water Drop

This is one of my favorite water drop shots that I've captured to date. I added a bit of heavy cream to my drop water so the green would show through really well while my drop water was deep rich clear red. I captured this and it reminded me of a Christmas tree a little bit so I figured it would be fitting to save until the weekend. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

I hope that everyone has a fantastic Holiday no matter what, and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Seeing Saturn

Leading up to my Christmas themed shot, I snapped this and caught the two drops as the collided and spread apart. It gave it a very Saturn feel. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

Blue & Purple Ripples

Another from my series the other day. This one had some really cool ripples and waves in the collision surface. I shot some of my best water drop photos yet today and can't wait to share those with everyone closer to Christmas. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

The Moment Of Impact

I thought this capture was quite interesting the other day. The red drop water into the blue base water combined with capturing the moment of collision impact was pretty amazing. I actually captured the color mixing and gives a glimpse to how the first drop changes. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

Face The Camera

This has to be my personal most favorite water drop shot yet! I was doing some more research for things I could use at home to make these drops a bit more interesting. I found that adding sugar to both the base and drop water in conjunction with keeping the water cold really helped in good results. Thickening the water was a big help and made collisions a bit easier to time out. This was my first shot of a facing collision, three separate color layers, and my lighting and focus with just about where I want it. I know I must sound like a broken record, but I'm having an absolute blast shooting this stuff. No matter who tries this or how many times it's been done, it's organic enough that every shot you get is something that no one else has ever captured. That's why I think I love shooting these little drops so much. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
