Humble Beginnings

I remember when i took this photo. I was sat on the kitchen floor, the mariotte syphon was taped to a chair, camera remote and flash in one hand, whilst my other hand held a cup under a stream of fast dripping water. To get a clean picture you had to quickly move the cup from under the water, press the shutter and then the flash in a split second. I know it was a nice collision because you concentrated so hard and they were so hard to get. Not like today when all you have to do is press a few buttons and bobs your uncle....a collision picture. The original of this has had over 4000 views.

 

I wonder how many people with the electronic triggers actually know the the speed water has to drip to get a collision......There we go a challenge...build a marriotte syphon and manually capture a collision using only one flash and no triggers.

 

Anyway i received my last few bits in the post from Japan....just need to bolt them to the new setup. Its nothing fancy....i'll post a pic when its done....for you all to laugh at...lol

Done
