Ok, I really didn’t intend to let a whole day go by without another post.
Heck, I even took pictures yesterday, intending to find one good enough to post.
In fact, if our neighbors on the right happened to be walking down their driveway and happened to glance at the large picture window that happens to look into our dining room and kitchen, they would have seen me crouched over the sink, camera in hand, focusing intensely on the faucet, gleefully snapping pictures away. Hopefully they would have had the deceny to look away at that point.
I was hunched over my sink in a vain attempt to capture that moment when a drop of water seperates from the stream and becomes that perfect little ball of water as it surrenders gracefully to gravity.
I discovered that that’s a hard thing to do. I can say that as it took me the better part of an hour to take all the pictures. And then another 30 minutes to toss all but a handful of the images. One or two managed to get close to what I wanted to capture.
Byt the time all was said and done, it was nearly 10 in the evening. And that’s my cut off point.
Grabbing that single moment of movement is hard. Especially indoors, where you have to rely on your flash. Depending on the charge of your battery, the flash may or may not keep up.
So I really was going to post last night. And then I figured I would just post first thing this morning, before I started in on work.
And then Charter had a 5 hour internet outage.
So…there you go.
Oh, in case you’re wondering whether or not pictures were taken today, there were. But they were taken by AM. And I had forgotten to take off Manual focus, so they were all out of focus.
So no luck there.
