First reflection shoot

Ambrola

Try this while the drop is in the air?? Whole bunch of fun. I wish I was good with PS, but one day I will get it. Bet it would look good if it had the proper editing???

Good try especially if the drop was falling ?
Need better focus on the drop though.

Yea, I know. You just can't control what the drop will do when its in the air. I took about 100 shots, and about 20 of them were in focus. Of course I didn't have the flower there all the time. Wish I had the flower on this one??

Splendid, it looks a glass ball on rolling over fabric.

Great shot.

This is not as hard as these guys make it seem. Just fill a colored bowl up with water and let it drip in. Use the flash on the camera. Works great. I thought you had to use the speedlites, but you don't. Focus is the main thing. The drops go up in the air at angles, and alot of them will be out of focus.

what you use as water-container for the droplets ?
and how you mounted it over your bowl ?

Ambrola

My wife has a big plastic blue bowl. I just fill it with water, hang a baggie with water in it over the bowl. The important thing is the lens. You need a Micro I would assume. I put mine (the bowl) on the counter top, hang the baggie by the cabinet, and start the drips. You need to use your tripod and shutter cable also. Be sure to check your camera flash, and ISO settings. Thats how to get away from the speedlites. Takes a little time to set up, but it is something fun to do on a rainy day.
BTW, be prepaired to take 100s of shots and your lucky to get 20 good ones. Hope this helps.
