Water Study
Posted By: irish_spring, 06-20-2008, 02:30 PM

Water drops on a CD.

This started out as an investigation of how to make a CD look interesting but it ended up being more about the water drops. Besides, lighting a CD correctly proved to be much harder than I anticipated and I could not get the effect I was looking for in the time I had. I ended up happy with these two shots out of ~60.

Very cool. #2 is neat in that you can really see "Hello Kitty". Abstract wise I am attracted to #1.

Great job! ~60...aren't you glad to be shooting digital?!?

Sure am glad for digital - and for LightRoom too. I can't imagine sorting out so many photos quickly with out good software.

I originally liked Hello Kittie better myself but I'm have have come around on the more minimalist version in teal and I now like that more. Interestingly, when I popped these up on flickr for hosting I posted them on the strobist group and the K10 group and the teal one got a lot of hits. It even made it to Explore for a day or two (a first for me).
