“Water Spout”
Techs:
This composition is an image overlay of two frames captured in RAW and then converted to JEPG. format. The drops were created in an old fish aquarium filled half way with a suspension media of water, corn syrup, glycerin, and food coloring. It was shot at four frames per second using a polarizing filter.
This was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D macro lens with a 20mm extension tube.
