This is my 2nd attempt with water drops. I need to control the drops better, but I thought these were kind of interesting. All feedback appreciated!

3. I wish the entire splash had been in focus on this one.

    I have shot alot of water drops and I think your problem is the water source is to close to the container. Raise it higher to give the drops more spash. You want one drop to raise in the air. Hope thisw makes sence??

    How high should I have the source of the dropping water from the container? The drops were falling about 4 feet in the ones above.

    I think your shoots look great also. To get the big drops I hang mine about 5 feet. The trick is to snap at just the right time. I will shoot 100 frames to get 10 good ones. My wife is a nurse, and I have a IV bag that I use. I can control the drops with it. You need a pretty good size drop to get a good splash and drop coming back up.
