One of our members does excellent water-drop photography. Here's an article about how to do that.

Splash 35. Exploring possibilities higher flash duration with a Broncolor Pulso power pack back in the early 90's in my advertising days. I call it Splash 35 because I used 35 sheets of 4x5 Ektachrome 100 film and this image was in the last batch of film processed. White background paper with blue filter on 2 strobe heads is the illumination. A tray was attached to a bar that was suspended and in a darkened studio with shutter open the water interrupted an inf-red beam that triggered the strobes. Most of the images caught the event too late and finally determined to catch it sooner by changing the delay on the beam. The flash at 1/6000 of a second resulted in using the 300mm Symmar wide open at f5.6 yielded an extremely narrow depth of field. I can only imagine what Doc Edgerton went through making his images of bullets entering objects. I got to meet him at Strobe Alley at MIT and he was like a kid showing people around the Electrical Engineering labs. He liked my work and invited me along to Scotland in his effort to document Nessy, but my kids were young and I had business to run and passed on the offer.
