These are nice! I rather like the blown out highlights with hints of light rays. Had not seen that before. Maybe one is technically not supposed to have that, but it is interesting b/c it is different.
Thanks! I was using iso 800 (for no good reason) and I needed to lighten the image once I saw it on my monitor.
In my last drop sessions, I used a flash pointed at the back stop. This time I had the two flashes pointed at the splash.

In December, tca2267 brought up the topic of water drops. I had done some in the past with single drops so I thought about getting enough equipment to do drop collisions. The first session in a very cold garage was fun! I need to work on getting a nice full reflection and maybe some colors. I used a Pluto trigger and valve.

Are there any Water Drop photographers on this site
I was just thinking about trying some collisions. For that, look up MIOPS splash kit and SplashArt kit.

Thanks! We were a few days after the peak color and it rained the day before. I increased the saturation a bit to bring up the leaf colors and the blueness of the sky.

Have you tried framing and making settings in manual before screwing on filter ? Then, if you are using a 10 stop ND just increase exposure time by 10 stops. Make up a little ND conversion cheat sheet to make changes easier.
Getting the correct exposure is easy using the histogram, the framing was the hard part. Screwing in the filter is something I want to do less often. Both the lens and the filter are on the lower end of the price scale, so I worry about some grit causing the two to get stuck out on the trail.

Outstanding. Especially the first one. ND filters can sure make a difference.
Thanks!

I like these photos. Well done. Enjoy the ham. I recently bought a neutral density filter after never using one. I have a project in mind that I have been working on. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get out and take photos to submit. In the meantime I have hunting and fishing to do.

Thanks! You could set up your camera for some star trails after shooting hours and retrieve it in the morning...that would be my dream hunt. :)

We took a trip to get our holiday hams this week. We've gotten country hams from Kite's in Wolftown, Virginia for many years. It's also become a tradition to do a hike afterwards in the Shenandoah Nation Park. At the lower elevations, it a bit past peak colors but is still is very pretty. The day was mostly cloudy with just a few times we could see a little blue sky. For the two water images, I used a Nikon D750, a Tamron 24mm lens and a 10 stop Neewer ND filter. For the tree shot, it was my cell phone.
I used a screw in filter which brought it's own issue - I could not see enough through the view finder to frame up the picture! I settled on a wider than needed framing and did some cropping and rotating post production. I do want to work on getting the lighting even across the first image, but I'm still quite happy with the results.

Thanks! Yes, that is Old Faithful Geyser. The plan was to get a shot during a full eruption, but this is about 10 minutes after the last one and a hour before the next one!
