Stop-action photographic example
SETUP:
This high speed stop action water drop photo I placed a medium sized soft-light with a red gel attached behind a large black darkroom tray filled with water. Two small soft lights were placed to the sides for fill. A laser trigger beam tripper was aligned over the top of the water with a turkey baster mounted on a crossbar over the tray to assure the drips would break the beam. A delay module was used to delay the trigger signal long enough for the water drop to form before an electronic cable release tripped the shutter. By blowing smoke right at the water surface small ripples did not allow a perfect drop to form.
