I had the urge to shoot falling droplets. I need to work on it, it’s tricky. I use the flash in a repeating mode. This is yellow dish soap. I’m going to do a bit more of it to try for better shots.
Smoke
I had the urge to shoot some smoke. This is incense smoke shot with flash against a black background then inverted in Photoshop and colourized. Lots more could be done with more time. It is a fun project, for tips on how to do it google smoke photography. The site Sensitive Light has excellent examples and good tips also.

Al Kout in Faheel Kuwait at night

It is very pleasant in the evenings, though parking can be a challenge. The days are now quieter as it gets hotter but nights are busy as it cools down a bit after sundown.
This image is a combination of four images shot handheld with a 50 mm fixed lens and stitched together in Photoshop. I’m going to head back some time and do some more with the tripod and different lenses.
