Still Life: Water Drops

I recently tried my hand at shooting water droplets. It turns out, it isn't that hard, as far as the set-up and equipment. The tough part it trying to actually capture a good droplet, or the droplet doing something interesting. For this set-up, I had a glass baking pan sitting on a table, above the pan I put a ziplock bag with water in it and I hung that from a chair that I set on the table. I then put different pieces of coloured paper behind the pan and set my flash to fire at the paper. The pan was filled with water so once I poked a small hole in the bag, the dripping started. At this point it was all a matter of timing.

I ended up with some shots that I like. Click on Read More to see some more pictures. Enjoy!
