Wow this is amazing! Seems so simple, but it has so much emotion and beauty to it. Great timing aswell.
I love the focus on the splash.

This must have been a really difficult shot to get, which makes the fantastic composition all the more impressive. I love the abstract feel that you’ve managed to capture, and the colors are so calming.

Well done!

mm... not that difficult actually. But I did have to go through the whole scare of damaging my lens due to all the rain water later on.

Thanks a lot again.

Im so jealous of this shot.Ive been experimenting with water and splashes lately and not managed anything half as good as this.

PrateekRajbhandari In reply to 4420 [2007-06-22 14:33:21 +0000 UTC]

Well... we can shake hands then. I'm extremely jealous of your smokey series and since they look so amazing I just don't have the balls to even try something close to that... although in both cases, the smokes and the water drops it's mostly about trial and error rather than technical know how... [I hope I'm right about this]

4420 In reply to PrateekRajbhandari [2007-06-23 11:19:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah Id agree with that .Its just about finding the right mix of lighting and experimenting with shutter speed etc.Once you find a set up that works for you the hard part will be over.
Smoke is always worth giving a go as there are so many different affects to be had.

Beautiful. Even the colour is so...watery!
And, fix that roof

PrateekRajbhandari In reply to GreenSprite [2007-04-24 17:47:23 +0000 UTC]

Naa... I can't fix the roof. I'm too scared of heights. Plus it only leaks when there's a nasty storm. Otherwise it's fine.

I'll let you in a secret about my pictures... but not here. There's a really simple way to get this effect. I'll send you a note.

oooh, right. I didn't remember about this comment when I read the note
I should go easier on the energizer drinks, I "move on" to the next thing way too fast o_o

PrateekRajbhandari In reply to GreenSprite [2007-04-27 05:20:57 +0000 UTC]

Energizer drinks? Or just drinks? Well better than turpentine anyway.

GreenSprite In reply to PrateekRajbhandari [2007-04-27 06:29:29 +0000 UTC]

No, no. I told you I don't drink that much (alcoholic stuff). But on the other hand, I love experimenting with what caffeine, sugar, guarana and other stuff like that do to the body and mind (only legal substances ) I guess it's not exactly healthy, but by default I'm such a calm and sleepy person that I need a boost of energy every now and then.

Calm and sleepy... that's pretty much the whole of my personalty so when I say I know what you mean... I really KNOW what you mean.

This was really difficult to take... well mainly because my camera was getting all wet in the rain and I was scared as hell that I might have ruined the lens. haha... but out of the 20 or 30 pictures I liked this the best. There were others at a sharper focus but none of them were as well composed. If you look at the area before the explosion closely you'll see its ghostly reflection. I was really amazed by that. That's why I chose this I guess.

Also, tyo internal flash ko refresh rate is a bit too slow for a continuous drive, hai? Natra I think I could have made better shots.

We all should love the rain, and all forms of it... because they are the only things that links us to the skies above.

Ok... not to that extent where I could catch pneumonia but yes... it is fun to get wet occasionally.
