I’ve wanted to do water drop shots for a while and finally had a real go at it tonight. I tried setting up last weekend but couldn’t get a consistent water drop rate or control where the drops fell. The following few images show my first attempt at this sort of photography.

I was having a lot of problems getting the amount of light needed at first (and some of them are still a bit darker than I’d have liked). I think the issue is mostly with the container I used for the shots and I hope to have better luck next time around. I also want to increase depth of field as well as working distance. I’m so used to shooting things as close as possible I forget that not everything is best served with a super close-up shot. Since I almost never crop any of my images, I think I put a bit more emphasis on tight framing than most people.

Either way, I’m happy with this set as a first attempt and will be eager to see what I can come up with going forward.
