First attempt at water drops
Dec 31, 2014 11:24:42 #
Always been fascinated by some of the amazing shots of water drops out there and wanted to have a go myself :)
After watching lots of videos I now know the very best shots are made with electronic water dispensers and synced camera and flash operation so out of my league.
My setup was bag of water hanging from a frame with a clamped tube dripping into a pyrex bowl with a colourful image below it. Camera was a Canon 7D with 50mm F/1.8 lens and Nissin DI866 mkii flash
50mm
250 shutter speed
Iso 100
F11
Flash power 1/32nd
Yongnuo triggers
Very happy for first attempt and will be doing more when time allows.

Thank you Dngallagher :)
#2 is my favourite too, I upped the contrast a fair bit on that one.

Shows that you don't need an expensive setup to get great photos, well done.
