Description

Droplets of difluoroethane boiling away on a sheet of brushed aluminum. In other words, the liquid from spraying a can of Dust Off upside-down onto the side panel of my computer case. This stuff is tricky. It seems to either comes out of the nozzle so fast that I can't capture it nicely even under a strobe, or it boils away too quickly to get much of it in the shot. It's also tough to keep it within a macro-sized depth of field, so I had my strobe right up beside the lens so I could get up to F32 and make my depth of field as long as possible. Unfortunately, noise (and its subsequent filtering) killed the finer details of the brushed aluminum, but I don't think there's much I can do about that unless I get some really powerful strobes that allow me to turn down my ISO speed.
