Well. Its one and a half year since i shot the first round of droplets photos..
now i saw the discovery program with high speed camera showing the droplets in action.. and I am excited again.

this time, i tried with shallower water for the crown.. i felt it much easier to do this time as my wife is helping out and its not like 5'C cold night in wellington.


Strobist info : one SB26 bounced from the back wall at 1/4th power triggered optically with 430ex on camera at 1/64th power bouncing on the ceiling ( the 430ex is not contributing much to the exposure but just using it to trigger the SB26)

erased some sensor dust and ugly background bits in photoshop cs3.
