Sorry- not quite sure what I was doing- first post on this forum. Actually I still don't know what I'm doing- but I'll get there despite my computer continually locking up on me!

Very cool! Can you say something about the set-up and what you used for lenses, etc?

Sorry for the late reply- internet problems!
Taken with a K10D + remote, Sigma 70-300 DG APO with a Raynox DCR 250 stuck on the end, f29, iso 100, on camera flash with foil on cardboard reflectors plus two angled DVDs to add a hint of colour. Old biro in clamp refilled with hypo to provide drips into wine glass with old pocket watch placed behind- thats about it!
Cheers, Gary

Now.........for the not so smart ( like me for instance )
Is their some HS flash involved, or is it just a matter of taking a zillion pictures and hope for the lucky one.

Erm.... Good question- No HS flash involved- I observe the drop frequency for a while and sort of become one with the drop ( kinda zen thing, lol!)- then snap away. I usually get quite a few good ones. I sometimes pick reference points as the drop passes depending on the type of drop/splash I'm trying to capture.

Ehhhhhhhhhh,ok. What shutter speed, do you end up with. f29, and ISO 100.
That does look like it must be slow than. Is it a case of the short flash burst freezing the frame than? As I understand the K10D has a fastest flash/shutter speed of 1/180 sec. Or do I miss something here?

Yes, 1/180th is the max. on the K10D- does'nt matter as long as it's open for longer than the flash duration, which freezes the action- ambient light can be a problem or a blessing, depending on what I'm trying to capture.

Thanks for explaining. So basically you freeze frame by flash duration.
Again, a great picture and thanks for taking the time explaining.
I appreciate it.
