HOW TO SHOOT WATER DROPS<br />
If you want to shoot ‘frozen in time’<br />
water drops like ours, you’ll need<br />
a macro lens, a tripod, a flashgun,<br />
a glass, a pipette and a colored<br />
backdrop. For the very best results,<br />
you also need to be able to fire the<br />
flashgun off-camera, either with<br />
a sync cable, triggers or a wireless<br />
triggering system.<br />
Set the pipette up on a stand<br />
above the full glass, then focus<br />
manually on the exact spot where the<br />
drops fall. Place your colored backdrop<br />
behind (we used a green chopping<br />
board as a makeshift green screen),<br />
then position your flashgun behind<br />
the glass, angled on the backdrop.<br />
Use a low flash power and high ISO<br />
for a really short flash duration, then<br />
turn off all the lights and start dripping<br />
and shooting. It’s all in the timing, so<br />
be prepared to practice.<br />
