Attack of the Water Orbs!

[Roman Kurywczak]

You may recognize this flower.....Denise shot it a few threads below with the puddle.....but this is what we were experimenting with along with good friend and fellow photographer Bill Ruppel. This was my first attempt with drops and flower reflections.....they looked like little UFO's to us.....but thought they loked pretty cool! I did remove a ton of flash highlights from the drops......debated leaving them in for a while but went with removal route. Always exploring some different stuff....always made more more fun with creative friends!
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 180mm macro at f29 for 1/80 sec HH at ISO 800 and the flash at minus 1/3.....all done in camera minus flash highlight removal. Pane of glass, black mat board BG.

Roman, These were lots of fun to do and I have a million ideas floating around now. I like how your orbs make the image look 3 dimensional.

Really like your UFOs and the mother ship too, it has a 3D space feel! Very nice ideea and very well done!

Very cool, Roman. I copied the thread down to OOTB - I think it will be very inspirational there!

Cool Roman! Love the colors and sharpness and other-world feel to it. Are the droplets on glass in front of the flower?

[Roman Kurywczak]

Thanks all!
Kerry.....yes, in this image the water drops are in front of the glass with the flower approximately 3 inches below the glass. Deinise's puddle shot above....is on the glass.....hope this helps
