Glimmer

hobbes187 · 24th August 2007

Hi all,

this is my first post in the C&C section so hope to get some good comments on my picture. This is part of a series of water pictures I took recently. I was trying to capture the captivating texture, lighting, shapes and droplets which can never be experienced by the naked eye.

I find the shapes of water droplets frozen in a frame especially intriguing and inspiring.

Taken with D80 18-135mm at 1/60 F19 ISO500 in a pitch dark room with on board flash.

Views on composition, lighting, ways to improve etc would be welcomed

Rest of the series is here:

Nice capture. Of your series, I liked Intracy and Gravity. Think I prefer the format over the landscape ones.

Sorry - I meant Intricacy - not Intimacy

Thanks matman... Any other comments?

Nice capture! But what is the white spot below the brightest glimmer? Is it meant to be there?

I guess thats from the reflection... Maybe I should PS it out right?
