All That Sparkles Is Not Diamonds
Ok, so it's part of an experiment and exercise in timing, trying to get the shutter going to capture some interesting drops of water I'm throwing into a dish while getting the flash and reflector to illuminate it interestingly and clearly. Admittedly I need further practice, but I ended up being impressed with the completely unexpected pure sparkle effect that water droplets can give when shot with a ray of light. You could stick one of those in a ring and impress a girl!

Stick it in a ring and impress a girl? Hmmm. If it were only so cheap I would do it…haha

You may be cheap, but I know that you’re willing to spend money on the important things, and that’s a great distinction to have as part of your character. Although, even at that, it’s worth going to the trouble of obtaining a diamond across the border and smuggling it back in your pants to save on some of the taxes.

Very nice photo. Neat experiment and well worth doing.
