Playing with water

Nothing but rain this past weekend, so I spent the day, appropriately, playing with water drops.


Wow, water droplet photography is soooo tricky. There's probably an easier way to do it, but given the equipment that I have, it was mostly trial and error. Here's a shot of my set-up:


I set my camera to bulb mode, clicked open the shutter, used a eye dropper to drip a drop of water and triggered the flash the moment the drop hit, then closed the shutter.

Over 200 shots later, here are the results I got (I adjusted the contrast in post-processing):
