Water Droplets

BigV is visiting and we are having lots of fun with water. First balloons and now droplets. My house will never look the same again thanks to all the food colouring! Taken with the D7000 and tamron 90mm macro. We used a new thing of BigV's to time the droplets and the flashes.

These look great, nice and sharp and the colours + reflections worked really well. I hope the house is now very colourful and not the same in a good way!

Looks great!I reckon you could crop a little to accentuate that little flow on the second. :cheers:

Could you elaborate? :wink: Is it a DIY job or a purchased trigger?

It's a purchased trigger. BigV could tell you more about it, but it's called a camera axe, a very cool little device.

We had 2 flashes at 1/128th power and I had to hold the camera open on bulb until after the flashes had fired. BigV took a photo of the setup on his phone.

nice stuff!

The other method is to use the Stop Shot, this one is quite common
