very cool.. especially the red ones. Very horror genre

I'd like to see some of them a bit closer up, especially the couple showing the perfect crown that the drip creates. What was your setup for the shots? I'd be tempted to try this myself with my macro lens. well done.

thanks a million, its actually alot easier to do than i thought...
i have a 400d with a extreme card, i used a 28- 105 and 28-135 lens... a 420ex flash and just snapped away...

the kitchen sink works best for drips,

tried the shower and the drop is just 2 far for the water

will try other liquids etc

Fajitas!

Great shots with the red.

Well done, very Dexter

I tried the drop splashing in the sink thing the other night but it didn't work so well as I was using a bathroom sink... white porcelain which made the water invisible

i have the same flash so you may want to drop the iso down a bit and the flash should compensate for it, but then you may be getting flash reflection in the sink ? :rolleyes:

Really cool shots, especially the red ones. I also like the one with the yellow tea cup handle. Makes me cringe or something.

I had fun with the kitchen sink a few times before but I never got anything approaching this.

thanks, been going to a photo class and it is really helping with understanding the camera they are a great idea when you are starting out

Hi, Nice shots. The only comment I would make is that if the tap is a swivel type try to move it so that the plughole is not in the shot. It's quite distracting.

i thought it kind of added to it.... think i will move on to some high speed grass growing shots next
