365 Challenge:

Day 10{365}: Orange you glad I didn't say apple?

Day 11{365}: Tea time.

Day 11{365}: Water study.

So, I'm linking this up with Jill's water study link up. I'd LOVE to see if you guys try this out too. I have only ever tried photographing water a couple other times. During these photos my lighting was pretty bad and I had to REALLY raise the ISO to it's highest. I didn't want to use a flash and I don't have a speedlight. :D My SOOC photos were fine, but I really wanted to sharpen these photos up.

Other water drip photos I liked:

I've linked these water drops up here!

Shoot and Edit:

Before:

After:

Edit: For this weeks edit Ashley stuck with a basic/simple edit. Since I had already done that with this photo previously... I just linked up the edit had already done. I can't remember the exact details of my edit... but, I always adjust my Levels.... curves... run through Noiseware... sharpen if needed... So, I sort of have issues with with shadows. I'm uncomfortable with them. If there's a lot of shadow I automatically feel the need to fix it. But, I didn't. I'm ok with that! :D

Following Ashley's Edit:

Following Ashley's edit: I pretty much followed Ashley's second edit exactly. I really love how soft and sweet it turned out. AND: the shadows are not as harsh. :D

Altogether now:

This is the lock to our garage. It's prettier if you zoom on in. :D
