Can someone please advise how I can get ALL colour borders including white & pastel shades to stay fully opaque?

Many thanks,

No, stayed up 'til midnight, looking at 10/10ths. cloud cover!

a few more nights possible but the start of the week isn't looking good weather-wise!

Thanks for all the advice (for next time!)

Have a good Sunday.
Roger.

Thank you all so much!
I'm so proud of my New P.U. Record!

I feel I must thank all those who have helped by not mentioning my faux pas, you all know who you are!

I'd also like to thank my Wife, my Mum & Dad, Anyone I've ever met &, of course, next door's auntie's Alsation.

(Or is that "German Shepherd"?)

Night-Night,

Roger.

Out for a walk around the Village today....

Roger.

Any advice to capture these most welcome, please.
(K7, 18-55(?))

Thanks,

Roger.

Wonderful set, Neil.

The inflight no.1 is superbly executed, so difficult but so good: focus, colour, depicting the creature doing what it does so beautifully in life.

The reflected ovipositing image is great. Who cares about the rule of thirds when the the picture is this good?!

Thanks for letting us see!

Roger.

Thanks for your comments, Bob.

A plastic bag of water with a very small hole in is suspended about 18" over a small food container, in a larger tray. I hung mine from a tripod with an extension arm.
Folded white card b/g to give black, white & grey "image" in the drop.
K7 on tripod. AF 240 FT flash on its stand, aimed at the card b/g.
Flash on low, manual. Low ambient light.
Take care not to get the lens splashed.

I watched the drops form & then drop.
I found that if I fired the shutter, with Remote Control F, just as the drop fell, it captured the splash....
...now & then!

This is not an exact science!

I think I scored something like 10 useable shots from 200-odd.

Have a go, it's good fun & most satisfying when you do get a good'un!
