Water Drip - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I took a water drip photo almost a year ago with my older Canon G5 camera and I thought I'd try to duplicate it to a certain extent today. I had forgotten how tough that photo actually was to get and I must admit I had a hard time getting it right today. After a ton of shots I finally decided to call it a day on this image. Hehee. If you guys get a chance you ought to try this particular shot in your sink. It is a great learning experience that's for sure!

Canon 10D :: Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro :: 1/4000 s :: F 3.5 :: 100mm :: ISO 200 :: Flash Fired

I actually learned quite a bit about my camera and my 550ex flash today while taking this photograph. That's never a bad thing.

here ya go... i just set the faucet to drip once every couple of seconds or so and then placed my fingertip where the water was hitting the surface, prefocused on my finger and then switched the lens over to manual focus so that i can keep that focus point for multiple shots etc...

goes to show u dont need a fancy setup...
