Inspired by Travis Warren but we'll be using this to test how much water a drippy faucet can waste a day.
Tiny drops alone hardly make a difference. It's only when gathered together that they can carve through stone.

On assignment covering the dress rehearsal of the 2017: The Passion Play.
"The film opens in Gethsemane at night as Jesus Christ (Caviezel), at the height of his cause, prays while his disciples Peter, James, and John (James's brother) sleep. After he wakes them and tells them to pray, Satan appears in a hooded androgynous, albino form, and tempts him with reasonable doubt, stating - "it is not right for one man to die for their (humanity's) sins." Ignoring it and praying on, Jesus' sweat turns into blood and drips to the ground while a snake emerges from Satan's guise. Jesus hears his disciples call out for him, and he rebukes Satan by stomping on the snake's head, and Satan vanishes.
After receiving a bribe of thirty pieces of silver, Judas, another of Jesus' disciples, approaches with a group of temple guards and betrays Jesus (by confirmation of his identity) with a simple kiss on the cheek. As the armed guards move in to arrest Jesus, Peter draws his dagger and slashes off the ear of Malchus, one of the guards and a servant of the high priest Caiaphas. Jesus, in turn, heals the ear as he reprimands Peter for his actions. As the disciples flee, the guards secure Jesus, and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin.
John informs Mary (mother of Jesus) and Mary Magdalene of the arrest, while Peter follows Jesus and his captors at a distance. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some of the other priests, who are expelled from the court. When questioned by Caiaphas if he is the Son of God, Jesus replies, "I am." Caiaphas is horrified, tears his robes in outrage, and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Peter, secretly watching, is confronted by the surrounding mob for being a follower of Jesus, and he angrily denies this three times. But after cursing at the mob during the third denial, a sobbing Peter flees after remembering that Jesus had foretold this coping of a defense. Meanwhile, a guilt-ridden Judas attempts to return the money he was paid to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Tormented by demons, he flees the city, finds solitude, and hangs himself from a tree with a rope he finds on a dead donkey at dawn.
Caiaphas brings Jesus before Pontius Pilate to be condemned to death, but after questioning Jesus and finding no fault, a sympathetic Pilate instead relays him to the court of Herod Antipas, as Jesus is from Antipas' ruling town of Nazareth, Galilee. After Jesus is again found not guilty and returned, Pilate offers the crowd options for either him to chastise Jesus, or release him. He then attempts to have Jesus freed by the peoples' choice, between Jesus and a violent criminal Barabbas. To his dismay, the crowd demands to have Barabbas freed and Jesus killed. In an attempt to appease the moment, Pilate orders that he simply be punished. Jesus is brutally scourged, abused, and mocked by the Roman guards as "king of the Jews" with a crown of thorns. However, Caiaphas, with the crowds' verbal backing, continues to demand that Jesus be crucified as a heretic and Barabbas released. Admonished, Pilate washes his hands, takes no responsibility of the incident, and reluctantly orders Jesus' crucifixion. During the course of events, Satan watches Jesus' bloody sufferings with great interest. A dismayed Pilate watches the march, while his wife Claudia, who knows of Jesus' status as a holy man, comforts him. As Jesus labors to carry a heavy wooden cross along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, a woman avoids the escort of soldiers, and wipes Jesus' face with her veil. Jesus is beaten and pressed by the guards until the unwilling Simon of Cyrene is forced into carrying the cross with him. At the end of their travel, with his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and others witnessing, Jesus is crucified. The very act seems to affect the weathering condition of the earth itself.
As he hangs from the cross, Jesus prays to God asking forgiveness for the people who did this to him, and redeems a criminal as a saint who is crucified beside him. Succumbing to impending death, Jesus gives up his spirit and dies. A single droplet of rain falls from the sky to the ground, triggering a sudden earthquake which destroys the Holy temple and rips the cloth covering the Holy of Holies in two, to the horror of Caiaphas and the other priests. Satan is shown screaming in agonizing defeat. Jesus' lifeless body is taken down from the cross, and entombed. In the end, the healed body of Jesus rises from the dead, and exits the tomb resurrected."
Have you guys ever seen one of these? They're cool - they let the coffee steep like a french press, but drain and eliminate sludge like a cone dripper.
I treated myself to a cup of liquid AAAACKKKK! this morning, because I need it.
Now, water drops. The hardest part is getting something to control the flow of water with. For the first ones I used an old fuel tank from one of my RC Airplanes. Yup, an RC plane fuel tank. The tank has two ports on it one for the output and a breather. Works well. I am now using an IV bag. My wife works at a vet clinic so I bought a full IV set; a bag of plain saline water and the hose and most important the little plastic thing that control the flow. NO NEEDLES. I cut a corner from the top of the IV bag so I could fill it with whatever fluid I want. I have mainly used water and milk. Milk makes a mess but its opaqueness is what makes it cool.
So, once you have a way to create a controlled water drop you can move on. I used a clear plastic rectangle container that a small toy car came in for the water to fall into. I wanted the container to be invisible as possible. I filled the container to the top. Suspended the water container from the light above the dining room table and set the camera on a tripod. On a chair directly across from the container but at least 5 feet away I set the backdrop. Sunny delight box, a cereal box, a bag of chips. Whatever I could find that would give a colorful backdrop. It is important to use a macro lens to get the background as blurry as possible.
I used a Sigma 150mm EX Macro lens.
I used my 430 ex flash and had the room well lit.
I used f8 and a shutter speed of 1/250-fastest sync speed of my camera.
Now the hard part is timing, let the water flow, in controlled drips and have at the shutter. Remember its digital so if you take 500 and only get a few keepers so be it. Its easy to delete the bad ones, re-fill the tank and shoot again.
The fun comes in getting the backdrop item to be in perfect focus in the water drop. Just move the backdrop closer or farther away to get the desired effect.
Most important part is to have fun, think about what is happening and don't worry if it takes a while to get it right. I spent all day long and countless gallons of fluid to get it right.
on the top of a coffee mug full of water, in the kitchen sink. tap dripping to the right, off the frame. the little water balls are splashed off the main drip. used the on camera flash (canon powershot sd800is elph) with a piece of paper taped over it to tone it down. camera hacked with chdk and set to a shutter speed of 1/80,000 sec. (who knows if it actually goes that fast...)
but the pic is kinda cool anyway, regardless. its a crop, maybe 1/3 of the total frame is shown.

In which an MP claims high principle for some less than principled legislative manoeuvring.
He also appears to be wrong about the creation of new powers, but hey ho.
Four layers of white chocolate mud cake with buttercream filling and frosting and a gold painted white chocolate ganache drip.
Drip some kind of liquid here (ink, watercolor, tea, juice, etc.).
I used food colouring and a straw to blow the liquid in different directions.
Drip irrigation setup in the hopyard. Two rows with emitters directly on the hills. Right now, I'm using an automatic timer to water three times a day for 15 minutes to help the roots establish themselves.

An attempt to convey the feeling when you're trying to sleep and can hear the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet.
Lighting: SB-800 below and to the left of the camera, diffused.
I used ink and dabbed up on the hand to get ACTUAL and realistic dripping and then I sculpted over the drips to give them dimension.

I got one of my cameras back today from Canon, and this was just a test shot to see if the calibration they did helped any with the focusing. Still undecided...
