<strong>XSi, Tamron 70-300 VC with reversed 50mm, off-camera flash</strong></p>

<p>For the past 3 months I have been working on water drop photography. It's been a nice tabletop diversion during the winter months. To date all my water drops have been squatty and collisions thick and heavy. I've been dickering with water chemistry, mainly adding different ratios of plain tap water with water mixed with Guar gum or Xanthan gum. I've tried 50/50, 60/40, 70/30 with no luck. I think I've found a good ration 80/20 (water/gum water). The worthington jets shoot out like they are launched when compared to earlier attempts I actually had to move the camera back to get the entire sculpture in focus. For this image the water is dyed with yellow India Ink. I like the subtle hints of color it produces. <br>

Image specs: Single Shot Table Mounted Canon 5D-3, Canon 180mm - f/32 - SS 1/200 - ISO200 - Dual 600-EX II flashes with plexiglass diffuser panel for ceiling lights.<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18189443-md.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="680" /></p>

<p>By comparison with the previous shots I'm afaid mine are going to look particularly mundane. I've bought a cheap Pentacon 50/1.8 lens for use when I don't want to risk my Sigma 50/1.4 (Airsoft).<br />The shots came out about as well as you would expect for a lens that used to sit on a Praktica, so I'm thinking about getting something like a 135/3.5 to go with it.<br />These shots were taken with the Pentacon attached to a 5D with an adaptor that calaims gives the focus beep, which it does. From time to time.<br />It's a motorway bridge over the Thames at Bray on Thames.</p>

It's not so much the portrait (daughter just woken up) but the fact that I 3D printed a gobo projector that was mounted on a studio strobe snoot. It took quite a lot of the power so I used a speedlight for main light. It was a cool trick though.</p>

<p>No good photo's :-)<br>

Just a reflection of my week.<br>

Last week i had the builders build me a new chimney (the old one had cracks)</p><div></div>

I use a system that produces very pleasing results. What device are using? I am not familiar with worthington jets, could you please give me the URL?
