It really is Nadine! All in the timing and focus really…..lot’s of patience for sure! I was just using plain water…..is glycerine supposed to help? Thanks so much for your comment :)

Oh Andrew….you are always so kind :) I really like the reflection as well. I stuck a mirror in the pan of water at around shot 280….wish I would have thought of it earlier! Glad you like the title too….I thought it was fitting :) Thank you soooo much for your lovely comment :)

Thank you very much midzing! And thank you for the favourite as well :)

Hehehe :D I grew up a red neck on a farm….unfortunately it is one of my favourite words! I swear I would be very entertaining to watch while trying stuff like this out lol :) Thanks soooooo much for commenting Shoaib :)

uuuuummmmmm…...........NOPE!

Thanks Kevin! I know the whole water drop crown thing has been over done but I have been wanting to try this for some time now and finally did :) I was quite happy with the reflection as well :)

Hey Johanne! Yeah….the bokeh does kind of look like diamonds! Thanks for the comment and really glad you like this :)

Wow….what a wonderful comment artsthrufotos! Thank you so much :)

Thanks Henk :)

YES YES YES Vikram! Wow! And mine were really tested I tell ya ‘cause I am not naturally a patient person! BUT….I am going to try more and definitely with the mirror because I really like the effect from that. Thanks for your support :)

Awesome! Thank you very much Kelly! This means a lot to me especially from this wonderful group :)

Thank you Diane :)

Cheers Antanas :)

Many thanks Cathy :)

Thank you Kenny! And yes….I must try to be more patient in general I guess lol!

Thank you :)

I KNOW the video would bring you to tears laughing George! I am one of those ‘think out loud’ people and don’t hold in my ‘inside thoughts’ very well! Stuff just bursts out of me a bit like a child having a tantrum really! Anyway, I am very pleased you like this and thank you so much :) I was trying all sorts of background colours but this one turned out the best and the mirror worked really nicely as well I thought :)

Well, you managed to pull this off very nicely yourself Steve! Thanks for your support :)

Yay! Thanks Dean! I know you are very busy these days so I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment on this :) Big hug :)

Klaus! You have a different pf now?! I will have to check it out :) Thanks for the visit and comment! Always love hearing from you :)

You are welcome Karen and thank YOU for your lovely comment :) Don’t hold your breath over the two drops colliding…...and definitely don’t be within ear shot when I try it lol! I am sure there will be a few more F-Bombs over that one :D Thanks for the fave too :)

Wow….thank you so much Micklyn…..that is very kind of you :)

Thank you Ms. Chaput!

Haha! That made me chuckle! Thanks for the visit and the comment izzybeth :)

Thank you for checking it out Julie! You will have to let me know once you try it. I would love to know how you make out :)

Mr. Murison…..I always love hearing from you :) Thank you and best wishes right back at you :)

Thanks so much Michael! It definitely takes a lot of patience that’s for sure! But it was kind of addicting so I think I will have another go at some point :)

Yay! Glad you like this Ben :) You should definitely give it a go….it is kind of a fun challenge getting the timing just right :) Thanks again and always lovely to hear from you :)

Thank you so very much chloemay :)

Well thank you very much John for your time and advice on this topic for me :) I pretty much just followed the one video in the link and took many many pictures untill I lucked out with the timing. As far as the specular highlights….I am assuming it is from the flash and reflection from the coloured paper I used in the background? This has all been a learning experience for me really and I am not done yet….I am hooked I think :) Thanks again John :)

Thank you VERY much magneta!

I really do thank you for looking at this and leaving your thoughts Liane :) And yes…..patience is the key word here I think lol! I think I may try my hand at patience again in the near future because when you finally do get ‘that shot’ it is very rewarding :)

Thanks Raquel!

:) Thanks Dean :)

I am not a very patient person at all either Kerry but I decided to stick this one out and try to beat the almighty water drop!
I’ve tried landscapes but I suck at them…might have to hit you up for some tips on that :) And ummmm….yeah….....MUCH luck on your next project…..can’t wait to see that one ;)

I will get out my plumber jeans and wrench and work on that tap straight away too :)

THANK YOU KERRY!

They do but can be quite rewarding in the end I think :) Cheers Ann :)

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that :)

Ahahaha! Short on patience and being good at f bombs is a must with this excercise Mike :D The shutter speed was 1/125 of a second or at least that’s what the data registered. I’m not that great with the technical stuff. Sorry I took so long getting back to you….I’m not that great at keeping up on here either! Cheers Mike and hope you are well :)

It does take a long time to get “that” shot but worth it if you can stick it out I think! Thanks for the visit Bolivar :)

This did test my patience Rob! Thanks for the kind comment :)

Sweet! Thanks for the feature Rob…...love that group hehehe ;)

Thanks so much Mindy :)

Thank you Deanna :)

Definitely try Linda! I’ve come to the conclusion that it is not the camera sometimes but rather the photographer so give it a go girl ;) Thanks for the comment :)
