drainingraven In reply to Eskimo626 [2006-12-10 06:09:15 +0000 UTC]
i had a light shining on the bowl of water (which i dyed blue); got a lime, sliced it up; simply dropped the lime in the water and tried to take the picture at the moment the lime hit the water. i'm sure there are more simple ways to do it, but that was my tideous method!

Perfect timing. Great detail and I love the colors. How long did it take you to get the perfect splash from this?
Great Job

great contrast between the water color and the lemon... the splash is captured nicely... I can imagine the amount of mess you've made.
Oh well good work

i had a question for you actually--what type of pictures do you usually find most appealing?

did In reply to drainingraven [2005-11-07 22:17:21 +0000 UTC]
well I LOVE water..
so anything with water, anything with lots of colors, or black and white and really contrasty. If it has some strange or very original element to it...say you have blood on the grass, im just going to not even second glance...but then say the camera is under a piece of grass and the blood is dripping from it...thats gonna really draw my eye...cuz the originality of it..
i think i went a liitle off topic...oops

drainingraven In reply to did [2005-11-07 22:43:47 +0000 UTC]
lol it's cool. i enjoyed reading it anyway
i love contrast...oh it can be so nice sometimes...but sometimes i've found really dark set pictures are ok (but they usually have to be color) or b&w light photographs can achieve a nice effect...
but mostly contrast is yum...
maybe you should try the bloody grass idea!

I think this would be a good contender. would be cool if it was dropping into a margarita glass with salt on the rim. hehe
