Thanks Earl, I wish I had some better shots. These are the best out of 100 or so. I had to just let it drip and hit the trigger without looking at the droplets. Brain and finger were not in sync. I learned the ones you might have seen with a crown are done with 2 different size drops, the timing and shutter click are done mechanically with a machine that I don't have.

It was somewhat fun. If you have patents you'l like it. You'l probably take a whole bunch of shots before you get lucky and get a good one. Mine was a DIY set up with no costs involved. Watched this YouTube and went for it.

Thanks, Jim! Just watched and enjoyed. Looks like something I'd like to try sometime when hurricane season is over.
