Renee Dawson
This is FABULOUS John. ohhhhhhhh I see you have the f/2.8 70-200mm. I have the f/4 – it’s a fabulous lens, but it would be that much better if I had this one instead!
John Wright replied
Thank you very much Renee.
In general, I don’t need the f/2.8, and wouldn’t mind having the lighter weight of the f/4 version. Everything I’ve read says the f/4 is a sharper lens too… but I have no complaints… for any zoom to be better than mine is simply amazing.
gerfoy3
No I’m serious…mail me if u want but I’ll b stalking u. Was it layers of colours either sheets for bounce or gels? I was thinking of doing that its close to how I pictured it in my mind but I thought there would be more defined seperation of the different colours
John Wright replied
I sent you mail but, in a nutshell, the background was strips of colored paper. Still a single flash unit, off camera, close to the paper. Same layout as the strobist blog you sent me, I only varied the background.
gerfoy3
As I thought…..Funny how the colours mixed isn’t?
BigD
I like the different shades of colors in this frame and well done with the shutter speed, John.
John Wright replied
Thank you BigD. The speed came from the flash.

Congrats on your feature, John. Very nice work. Love the colours. I haven’t tried a coloured background with mine yet. Been stuck on the food colourings and milk. Must be time to try something new.:)

awesome shot, looks so close to the two drops hitting each other effect

This is an incredible image John, very cleverly done (wish I knew how!!!) Congratulations on the challenge win and feature, well deserved!
John Wright replied
Thank you very much Martin. It’s surprisingly simple. The basic idea is here… http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-photograph-water-drops-with-one.html. I don’t have a usable manual flash so I just use TTL.
Martina Cross
Oh! Love your drop shots! I am far not patient enough for this kind of photography :- Beautiful John!
John Wright replied
Thank you Martina. They are easier than you might think!
