Yes, another of my water drop shots. This time a little bit less in quality/quantity, still exploring the method.
Fast shutter and closeup can make magic, do I need to explain more?

No reversing ring this time,

Water is straight from the fountain, shooting up a continous stream at an angle.

Bright sunny daylight, f/1.4 or f/1.8 shutter at 1/6300 - 1/8000, close focus and that was the result. Nothing tricky nor fancy like the other reversal techniques.

Gosh, this is getting hard guys!

Nice work. Did you find any bubbles at the fountain whilst you were shooting?
