Water Droplets

I took over the kicthen table for some water droplet experimentation.

The shots were taken with the Tamron 90mm macro on the 5D MkII.

I set up a water traf & put a pint glass full to the brim with water. I enlisted the help of my daughter who dripped the water from a small syringe into the glass. The trick is firing the shutter (on a cable release) at the exact moment when you get the splashes from the impact.

The shots are all taken around f22 1/200sec with wireless flash trigger (Pocket Wizzard).

The annoying thing was that my daughter also took some shots on her 1000D and got better shots than me!

    Love your water droplets. Your daughter’s pics may have been better, but did she know how to Setup the shots??
