I’ve always wanted to do the standard water droplet photo, but never had the time on my hands……until a week or so ago.

It was a bit of a laugh and good to have done….I do need to get a life though eh!!!
After a month or so of perfecting my car rig, I’ve tested it on my mate Dave……well his car anyway.
I’m pretty happy with the results. The location was not ideal, so I need to find some better spots with perfect surfaces, no traffic, good backgrounds, no security guards, a clean road……shouldn’t be that hard?!??!? The EXIF on the images is intact so you can get some secrets from there, but the rig itself is going to stay a mystery. Needless to say, you have to Photoshop it out.
The 1DsMK2 did well, but shooting at f22 you get to see every bit of sensor dust. I spend about an hour cleaning it so I am amazed just how much there was. Of course it’ve cleaned it from the shots, but believe me, there was loads there.
I have a bit to work on to make this rig easier for regular usage. There is some “bounce” in the rig if it can’t be fastened REALLY tightly at the front. Generally I’m really happy with the result.
