What to shoot on a rainy cold weekend?   How about a bowl of water and some flash photography.  My first time trying this and it was a fun project to waste away an hour or so....   Taken with my Pentax (on tripod) at 55mm  @ F5.6.

Shot Two:  A much softer image with some extra light added to smoothen things out a little.













Shot Three:   Just as the droplet hits....
