Green Water Drop |
I'm still chasing that "Perfect" Water Drop Photo. I set up in the kitchen sink with a white bowl 1/2 filled with water. I add food coloring to make the water different colors. I then get the faucet to just drip - not too fast - slower is better.
I make note of where the water is hitting and place a pencil in the same spot and manual focus on that spot. I have a flash on my camera and a remote flash to the left of the bowl. I am using my 100 MM Macro Lens with a low ISO (100). Shutter is set f/14 at 1/200 speed to freeze the water drop. I then fire off about 3 or 4 in succession - any more than that and the flash says "enough already".
