rain ... rain ... rain

I know it is Seattle and I know I should not complain, but the rain gets to me. Especially this weekend again. It either looked like it would rain every second, but did not, or it looked like it would get nice and sunny and then rained ...

Was hard to find some time to go out and shoot pictures. So I spend some time inside to shoot some pictures of water drops of all things ...

The setup was quite simple:

  • 2 black foam boards for background
  • 1 old tripod to mount a flash on
  • 1 new and shiny tripod for the camera ;)
  • 1 old guitar stand
  • 1 clamp
  • 1 bag with a tiny hole
  • 1 plastic bowl to drip into
  • patience
  • more patience
  • even much more patience
  • 1 pencil ( to focus on. Hold the pencil to the high point where the drop will bounce back to and focus on the pencil )

Easy enough to do, so get home and try for yourself! I should have used a lower angle though!
