you would never know that the drops of water were coming from a van if you hadn't said anything. that's one of the great things about photography, you can take things out of context and make it a totally different image with a new feel and mood. great work.

This was actually water dripping off the bumper of a parked van into a rain puddle. Cars driving by would splash the van (and me as I tried to catch the image) and the water would drip back down.

The darkness is the shadow under the van, the light is the reflection of the overcast noon sky. I positioned myself so the drips were landing on the border, used a fast shutter speed, and shot till I caught the splash I wanted. Then I made it B&W, cropped it, and enhanced the contrast (all in Picasa2).

In short - good camera, luck, perserverence, and a fair eye for finding unnoticed images.

Fantastic. Thanks so much for your clear explication of the beautiful shot. I like who intends photography as you do. I'm also trying to catch the poetry, if we can say so, in the Unnoticed, in the Unseen. Splendid Job, you've got all my appreciation and support in what you're doing.
