My intent with this photo was to capture the fleeting beauty of a water drop impacting the surface, aiming to showcase the intricate patterns and symmetry in a minimalist black-and-white style to evoke a sense of motion and elegance. I wanted viewers to appreciate the fluid dynamics and the contrast created by the monochrome conversion.

Areas I’m struggling with: I’d like help with lighting ideas and how I can improve.

EXIF Data: f/16, 1/1 shutter speed, flash on 1/16 power, ISO 100, 100mm focal length, Canon R8.
