Water droppings

Some pictures of water droppings that I have been taking. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you need any advice, Mike. Looks like you have that technique down pretty good. Great shots.

Thank you. I have some crowns as well, I just need to get my hard drive hooked back up.

These shots are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had the knowledge to do that. Do you have an electronic sensor to fire the shutter or is it trial and error?

Very Nice! Could you share your process?

Thank you. Its a very simple setup. One cake pan filled with water, with a plastic bag held above the pan for the water drops. I use folders for my backgrounds to reflect off the water. Right now I only have three types of folders two of them are in the pictures above. The camera is a Nikon D5100 with kit lens, and a off camera flash. The settings are, f/8, iso 100, 1/200, and I believe the focal distance is 55mm. I will set everything up and take a picture this weekend. I will also be making a gallery sometime this weekend with more water drops, and crowns.

The ONLY suggestion I could make is to clean your sensor. I think I see some spots in the first and third shot.

did the same for my daily shot. I used my 24mm with magnefiers.

spots coould be water on the lens Pete. i had them due to being so close.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at my filter and seen that it had hard water deposits on the surface. Like newbshooter said, this could have caused the spots. I added some more pics to the members gallery, if you have time please check them out. Thanks again for the help, Mike.
