    Default Water Drops!!

    This is one of my holy grails of photography, this was my first time EVER shooting this so I'm pleased with the outcome. Still needs work but take a look and let me know what you think.

    Matt,

    Do you sell larger versions of these? They would all look good framed,
    Waterdrop6 was my favorite from this group.

    Hey Dec, I want to eventually. I have all the RAW files I just need to make them into more of a print size. So not at the moment, but I do want to eventually. Thanks! I think my favorite is the Edge of the Green. Just that point where the drop is SO close to the water it looks like its sitting there, but not quite low enough for impact.

    Matt,

    I think you should be thinking about posters. Here is a link to a Hubble image that I liked:

    http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/opo0501a/

    the high res is 6637 x 3787 px, which is pretty amazing.

    downloaded the free image, then uploaded it to:

    http://www.mimeo.com/products/poster-printing.php

    had a 24" x 36" made, it's pretty cool. I see your
    work as being that caliber. I'd love to get a print.

    oh wow!

    May I ask what lens/shutter speed/aperture? Totally new to photography and still trying to understand the manual that came with my DSLR :-)

    Thanks Hans. I actually have a website for my photography in the works now, and prints can be bought off that. Easier for me or others to get one, I don't have to deal with printing them or anything.

    holy cow, that is some beautiful artwork. You should try some drops like that with a dye or something instead of water so it leaves a nice trail. WTB thy artwork. my god
