Inspired by Travis Warren but we'll be using this to test how much water a drippy faucet can waste a day.

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.
made the rack for less than $30- no tools required. Plus, if someone wants to have a fight with dripper racks... I win.

A drip of water making a splash. I caught i just right! I'm not sure what this dripping pipe and catch basin symbolizes, but I know it means something. Pretty much everything in the garden has a meaning. Next time I come here, I'm going to attend one of the free tours around the garden.
Portland's Japanese Garden
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.

For the Macro Mondays group theme 'Drips, drops and splashes'...
I really need to get some more equipment, such as clamps and better lighting to help with my set-ups! Just couldn't get my honey to behave as I wanted because the drizzler was propped up and kept falling over... Result: sticky mess!

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.
and it is getting better and better. This time I tried with some colors and lighting.see the setup
