Absolutely perfect water drop
High speed photography
SETUP:
For this stop action shot of a perfect water drop I placed a medium sized soft light with a blue 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. Perfect water drops require perfectly calm water.
