Nicely done, Cindy, especially without a flash to freeze the action of water droplets. Of course, I suspect that it is quite easy to freeze the action of water out west where you are😜.

Yep..it's pretty easy to freeze water around here! I am thinking of trying the frozen bubbles next time it gets a little colder...it's supposed to be below 0 next week...thinking that might be a fun experiment as well.

Cindy I have also never tried water droplet photos... (show quote)

That flash is within my budget...looks like used 910's are under $200. Might have to check into getting one. Just not sure what else i would use it for.

They make triggers for this also. Although it might make it easier, probably not a necessity.

A Nissin MF18 provided the shortest duration as needed.

That one is way out of my price range for the little bit I would use it.

Coloring the water or using milk does not help much in this case; the colors actually are a reflection from an external background of colorful papers, magazine covers, etc. A flash is an absolute necessity since its output duration provides the shutter speed required to freeze the action. They attached image was shot at a 1/30,000 sec while the camera's shutter remained open for 2 sec.

That's a cool shot! Might have to look into a flash...what type do you use?

With out a flash and the usual more sophisticated items needed I think that you got some very awesome shots.
Rather beautiful.
I couldn't give pointers but thanks for sharing these shots.

Thanks! Next time I try this I will go outside on a sunny day...maybe that will help with getting more light...or I could just make the hubby stand there with a flashlight...lol
