A series of images taken with K5 & 18-55 "kit" lens.(Exif on the Gallery shot)

AF240FT off-camera flash set at manual/low, to the left & bounced off a white card reflector to the right.

Manual focus.

The water source- a plastic tub with a needle hole, dripping water onto the apple at a pretty regular rate.

About 50 exposures.

Hope you like them!

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

The more I look, the more there is to see!

Hi Roger, the freezing of the water has been done flawlessly.

However, given the apple takes up so much of the frame, then personally I'd like to see it sharp from front to back

I like the shallow DOF. Gives the image(s) depth and highlights the water
