Oops sorry thoughton , got my wires crossed.
Too much drinks seem to create havoc around in my head

No scantily clad nubile woman I am afraid , this is the best I could get out of a stubborn liquid drop . Just a seahorse.

And with a lighter background rather than black just to please thoughton on this one .

I swear this is not a finger pointing upwards , but if it was please do not ask me who it is intended to. I will leave your imaginative minds determine that .

The second one looks like a man on a motorbike,



Just a couple of shots from the batch I have been working on, couldn't resist that comment above ha

Any C&C please will be most welcome


Now with regard to the image itself:

Liquid drop.

Interesting to notice how different density, viscosity and other physical properties of fluids when altered the effects they have when playing with droplets is amazing.

Surface tension also plays a huge role in the outcome of these images.

I am hoping to experiment some more with various fluids and consistencies and expect to get more interesting results.

Any more ideas if anyone has please let me know and I will try to implement them. I have been working on implementing bubble and smoke with them, so far a bit of success with bubbles but have to work on the lighting part still. Very tricky as they are on the opposite sides of lighting requirements to get the results for each of them.

Shaky, this looks awsome, just what we needed

Thanks for that.
Have you used it? How does it perform with electronic goods? And am hoping it covers a good range of companies dealing with photographic goods

WOW, Danny those images look fantastic. I can see you all enjoyed the day.

Nathan, hope you can manage to upload some images in jpeg because those really don't seem to do any favours to K7 if they really come up like that. Like Dan said they don't look noise to me, they look more like colour spectrum missing in the images.

And did you find the K7 very fast at focusing compared to the K20? (I am assuming you had a K20 before) is it with all the lenses or only the SDM ones?
One thing that frustrates me is the slowness of the SDM lenses on my K20 and have been very hesitant in getting a K7 purely because of this. I have been reading mixed reports about it. The focusing of the SDM lenses is so sluggish with my K20 and last time I had tried Danny's K7 also I didn't find it much more faster. Am a bit confused now whether it really is much faster or not.

And that’s when it leads to all of us having a rANT

And then saying it here in a way that is so blatANT

That Mike’s ant is making us all wish for a grANT

and only one of his macros will finally make us chANT

That sounds excellent John. The size seems perfect and the magic word there is "DIY painless" , where do you buy black board from?
So the frames have a plastic front to it and I presume they come in other different materials also isn't it?

Thanks

Looking at the Ikea website am a bit lost with sizes of the frames. I want to hang A3 size prints and they have all in sizes like 30X40 and 40X50 etc, its so confusing. Considering the size of the A3+ images I have which are 330mm X 483mm I suppose I have to find the approximate match and calculate on the bigger size. Is this the correct way?

Thanks Graham

That's very helpful, Ikea is just around the corner from here, so I should pop down and get a couple of those.
I have no prints at all on my own walls and that's pretty embarrassing specially because friends who come to my place always manage to go back with a few of them printed because they have seen them on the webiste and I have nothing yet on my own walls .

I should go and try to get something sorted today then. Thanks for the tip

I did a quick search to see if this topic has been discussed but can't find one mentioned about the specific aspects of image framings so decided to put it up here.

How do you usually hang your printed images on the walls? I have seen a wide variety of prices for Acrylic mounts ranging from simple clip frames for £3 and some more expensive type plexi glass costing £50 for A3 size prints.

What do you usually do when you want to display them on your walls? What do you usually prefer? Framed? Acrylic mounts, the cheaper clips etc?
I was looking for something that will look good on the living room but would want also to consider the fact that I might want to change the images once in a while and put some newer ones from time to time.

And what size do they come in? If I want to hang up A3+ prints do they go in the usual A3 size frames? I only see the A3 frame sizes on advertised on the web

Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Amin
