ref. 167
By request:
My technique is simple.
First of all, i decide what would be the background. Then i print it as large as possible and put just behind the recipient of water.
I adjust the focus with a little syringe on the top of the recipient. ( even using f.22 it´s hard to enlarge the focus area, and i have to do this very carefully in the way not to touch the camera after this )
I use an infrared system to shoot the flashes at the right moment the drop falls in the water. In a dark room, i left the camera open for 1 or 2 seconds and i throw the drops. To get a really nice shot, the drop have to fall in the right place a made the focus. That´s why my pictures are sharp. It´s important to notice: i made an average. I have to shoot 300 times to get an amazing picture like this. My secret is patience and persistence. :o)
