Onomatopoeia — Drip and Drop.
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound,
But while you debate half empty or half full,
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown.(1)
I said I would take requests from everybody who contributed to my camera fund for my birthday — here’s the first fulfilled promise. Matt wanted some “high speed” shots and this is all I could do with stuff I had lying around and 30 minutes of time.(2)
NIKON D700 and 105.0 mm f/2.8 shooting f/13.0, 1/4 s, ISO 200 at 105 mm. Taken at 2008:11:04 01:05:48
It could have been sharper and better but I don’t own a tripod, I am limited to one flash without a lot of the features I need, and it was 1am. Still, I’m pleased with the results.
Here’s one taken from the same set that I like just a little bit less.

If anybody else who donated has a request — let me know.

- Not actually high speed — the shutter speed was 1/4 seconds… but without getting into technical details, this is about as close to high speed as I can do with the current equipment I own. [↩]
do you have all the DC4C songs memorized or something? =O i am surprised u had time on your hands (or more accurately, honored that you MADE time) to do this seeing as how it’s like 1am already and you’ve got buttloads of work to catchup on after this past weekend, but thank you sir =]
