Since it was pouring with rain today...
This is: Nikon D300 and Sigma 150/2.8 on a tripod, a wine glass full to the brim with water - the glass is standing on a clear glass cutting board and under the board is some blue card. The cutting board is to stop the card becoming sodden. At the back is some black card about 18 inches behind the glass. The SB-900 is camera right and high, triggered by Elinchrom Skyports, in manual mode at between 1/8 and 1/16 power.
The camera is also in manual at between 1/125 and 1/200 sec with an aperture varying from f11-f16.
Focusing: focus on a knife (and then a biro which was easier), then switch to manual focus and set the camera to fire whenever the shutter is depressed. In this case I am using a remote release so I can lean over and release the water.
Drops: Either from a Bic biro case - but it was hard to release just one drop - or from the edge of a knife.
The tiny fibre inside the water droplet is rabbit fur from our two lop rabbits who were hopping around me as I took these pictures.
I got a great book from the library today called 'In the Blink of an Eye" by John Brackenbury. An amazing collection of high speed macro photographs. He has some shots of water drops from under the surface of the water, so of course I thought "hmmmm...."
These are my attempts.
