Today's liquid play

Amin,

You wanted some title, well No 5 lokks like a business man with a bowler hat with corks on. I think this is my favourite of these. Well done.

Wow Amin, your really getting some beautiful images.

Love the first one with the splash above the tower.

Are you using a bag with a hole for the drips or a pippette?
(hope you don't mind me asking! :blush

I have to say that these are just stunning, what I would give to have this level of skill.

Ali
no, I dont mind at all you asking. Am quite happy to explain, there is nothing secretive in these shots besides lots of hours of, may I say frustrating moments, splashes all over the place, broken glass around and many more stuff that I dare not even say here to I not embarrass myself .

The thing is I don't stick with just one way of doing stuff, I will often in the middle of a successful run change and turn things and make use of straws to drip, eyedropper, water bag from above pierced with a needle, sometimes making even two or three holes and putting it an angle in such a way that the drops come through the seams rather than from the holes. I have raided the kitchen utensils so many times that I am closed to be made persona non grata in the kitchen because utensils keep disappearing and end up in the shed .

Two of the images above were with the bag hanging at a certain level, then there are others with the eyedropper. If you notice different backgrounds forced me to change angles and use other ways of making the drops fall, its all open to experimentation.

My best advice is have a go and have fun. If you are the kind to start feeling frustrated after two or three hours because you can't get a decent shot then it might not be for you. But if you are the type of person to keep hammering, day in day out until you tweak things and get it perfect then the results are great.
I kept on with this for at least three weeks, I am the kind of person that if you give me a fridge stocked with sandwiches, a few drinks and an air-conditioned shed I will happily lock myself in there for the whole day and even at night I will need to be dragged out , just love the idea of having all the tools etc and being able to play around with them all (note that this shed that I keep on calling is actually my workshop, I have tools and lots of equipment for my other work, so I have access to lots of power tools, carpentry stuff etc).

I bought my K20 end of December and I am approaching 20000 shutter actuations already, that probably says it all doesn't it?

Wow, 20000!

Firstly thanks Amin.

I love doing this type of stuff, water, smoke, etc., as well.

If only I had a 'shed'... but I have to make do with the kitchen, once I can 'book' it.

I will have to go back and give it another shot, have not tried it with a bag yet, will have to rig something up.

It's amazing what patience and time will yield.
