Goooooooood Morning everyone!!
Just kidding, I'm really not in THAT good of a mood. I had a grrreat weekend. I did ABSOLUTELY nothing on Saturday. Unless you count napping then I did two things.. :)
Sunday was a much different story however. I woke up at 6:30 to watch my neighbors run a half marathon (Pictures are on Flickr, but not here). I am happy to report that they both finished and they were still running when they crossed the finish line. I got home pretty early in the day after that and I spent the rest of my day taking photos.
I got a couple of good black and white nature photos, but my real results came with the water photography. This turned out easier than I expected. My only disappointment was that I didnt have a multi-colored dish to use. I just got a yellow mug and sat it in my kitchen sink. Then I situated my camera on a tripod with my 300mm lens. We dont want splashes on our lens. Getting the tripod situated right was my biggest problem but once I got it right everything else went pretty smoothly. The timing is a little tricky and I did find that I got better splashes if I put a few drops of dish soap, but then I started to get bubbles. I got my faucet to drip.. drip.. into my mug to get my droplets. I took about 100 photos but I only posted my favs on Flickr. I posted my 2 best shots here.
I hope everyone else had good luck with their photos. Have a grrrreat week!
