Splash!

My first attempt to do some splash photography.

 

Getting the background black was the easy part: low ISO, small aperture and fast shutter.

 

Hard part was the focus and making sure the drop landed on the same spot I focused on. After trying several method I ended up what a Crazy Machines-like contraption made out of a fly swatter, a couple of books and a piece of string 😄

 

Hardest part however was the timing. As the flash was in HSS, spray and pray wasn't an option as the flash needed to recycle every 1 or 2 photos.

 

After 500+ photos, I had a couple of photos that stood out.
