Water Drop Photos???

[HiFiGuy1]

Here's my first attempt at this:

XSi, 17-55mm IS, 55mm, f/2.8, 1/200s, ISO 800, built-in flash, hand-held taken using Live View
<div style="CLEAR: both"]</div>

Love this shot. Angle at which the camera is held, depth of field, subtle colors in the background, the "string of pearls" water droplets. Very nice!

Hi alex!


I was trying to recreate your string of pearls. Got any tips on how to do it? I was thinking that it was done with a stream of water high up and capturing the bottom part of the stream where the water tends to break into drops.

My wife was watering a plant in the sink, and I just fiddled with the water flow until it was barely running. That way, if the water has far enough to fall, the stream gets thin enough that the surface tension in the stream of water isn't strong enough to stay together, and it splits into the water droplets. I shot it in the sink, so it really wasn't falling from very high. It was just barely running. Try it out!

Thanks alex for the tip! Will that one out soon.


Best regards.
