more colliding droplets

Hi Thank you Craig and Bill, what about the little seal and the ball and a lady with a veil (photo 1 and 4 of previous post)? The continuation some work put into) The third photo of this set has something, for me, of Albrecht Durer's death depictions. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/30...

colliding droplets

<r>Hi<br/> <br/> Those are first rather successful trials of two valve system injecting blue and colourles droplets, water without any changing viscosity or surface tension additives. <br/> <IMG src="http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/3026_1042_crp_1.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www....

Hi
Sorry for a delayed reply but had to sense the meaning of "to inundate", but I am on a dry soil . The general outline of method was given in a post "water droplets and the pin"; the system is controlled by a program in VB6 and parallel port of an ancient laptop.

the pin, part two

Hi Thank you Olympusman. But the pin has another end so why not to put it upside down. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/3026_317_crp_1.jpg http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/3026_318_crp_1.jpg http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/3026_319_crp_1.jpg http://www.photoma...

water droplets and the pin

Hi Water blue ink coloured droplets entering yellow coloured water. Flash synchronized with IR barrier after pulsing a water solenoid valve. Pictures with a pin created by the way as a method of focus help but I thing alone worth looking at. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/3026_294_crp...

Incidentally, today I came upon your post: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3756 and realized that I did subject (this time unintentionally) that was done by you :). Since I am curious about those two surface eyes I h...
