... Wow, yeah! How did you do it? Thanks. Pretty basic really. I mounted my 60mm macro lens on the camera body, then mounted the camera on a tripod, then move it up to where it thought I'd have the best combination of composition and image/subect size (determined by looking through the eyepiece), then focusing on a fixed point in the scene where it looked like most of the drops were forming and dropping from the end of the leaf. Then after focusing I "locked it in" by turning off my autofocus. I mounted my speedlight on top of the camera and I set the camera's shutter speed all the way up to 1/8000 sec. I set the speedlight on full power, and I set the aperture at the smallest size posssible vis-a-vis the light I had available. The was determined by experimentation. I made a few shots at different f-stops and inspected after each exposure. I inspected after each test shot. Then when I reached the proper f-stop I then stood back and watched the drips forming and dropping from the leaf and determined the approx rhythm of it (about once a second) and started popping away about every second. I made about 50 exposures. Most of them had no drop visible, or they had a drop ust barely hanging from the leaf but not released yet. Only one out of the entire batch was actually separated from the leaf and falling and that's the one I posted. Digital shots are free. It's not like I sat there and made 4 dozen shots using 35mm film --- that'd get expensive. But 4 dozen digital shots? No problem. They're all freebies. -- Pat Durkin |
