I used a pipette to make the drops (and to focus on something before the drops were dropped).

The biggest tip. Put a pencil or ice lolly stick at the point of impact with the lense on manual..I had flash bouncing back from a alloy oven tray behind the bowl. A shot I was after since childhood that I can tick off now. Hope you like...cheers..Rob http://www.fotocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/643082/display/18201084 I got this one last year and it is easily the most admired and best acheived image I’ve ever taken.

I set up at home and produced some startlingly brilliant (IMHO) results - way better than expected. Used my Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens and a pan filled with water. Drip setup was a plastic shopping packet with a needle hole. Also tried dripping milk onto a Teflon coated pan. Luck was with me - the first shot was a dream white crown! The next 15 were stillborn. Focus set up is key with the very shallow DOF, so I used a very fine plastic toothpick as my manual focus. Worked like a dream!

It is pretty easy to control the timing between drops. For some different effects, try milk instead of water. Let it drip on a piece of glass on a dark colored piece of paper. Only problem is that you have to wipe it dry between drops so it takes longer. dlm I had a friend in the medical field get me a defective drip bag like you see in the hospital TV shows.

Try with a shallow water next time to get a water crown! Very nice shot and interesting setup right at the source. Try with a shallow water next time to get a water crown!
